How Do I Determine Salt Density and Convert Voltage to Intensity for Graphing?

AI Thread Summary
The average density of crystalline sodium chloride (table salt) is approximately 2.17 g/cc. To determine the mass of a salt particle, knowing its volume and this density is essential. For graphing intensity against scattered angle in laser diffraction, voltage values can be used, but converting them to intensity values is recommended for accuracy. This conversion will provide a more meaningful representation of the data. Utilizing resources like www.matweb.com can assist in finding material properties.

Can anyone tell me what the density of salt is on average? I know there are many types of salt, but there must be an average value to this right?
Because I’ve got the volume of this salt particle and I need its density in order to work out the mass.

I also want to plot a graph of Intensity against scattered angle, for the diffraction of laser light by particles. But I have voltage values instead of intensity values, Shall I still use the voltage values for my graph or do I convert it to intensity values?

Thanks a lot

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
