Air Air density Density Earth Height

AI Thread Summary

Air density decreases with increasing altitude, starting at 0.001275 g/cm^3 at sea level. A graph or table illustrating air density at various heights above Earth is sought for better understanding. A reference link to a chart showing air density versus altitude is provided for further exploration. This information is crucial for applications in aviation and meteorology. Understanding the relationship between air density and altitude is essential for various scientific and engineering calculations.

What is the density of Air vs Height above Earth?

Air Density is 0.001275 g/cm^3 at sea level.

I would like to see a graph or a table with the air density vs km above sea level.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Raman Spectroscopy help'

I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
