    heelp on registrating for SAT 1 exam

    I see ample views here, it's just unfortunate that you didn't get any insightful replies. You should remind yourself that registration isn't as seamless as signing up for the XtremePapers Community, rather, it can be quite extensive and confusing when the ask you to make your student profile...

    A level Biology: Post your doubts here!

    True, but molecules such as H20 (very polar) and CO2 (though it has nil overall polarity) are small enough and CAN RAPIDLY PASS/diffuse through the bilayer, down the potential/pressure gradient. It's only the LARGE polar molecules such as glucose, amino acids and ions which cannot diffuse...

    Well, this was how I'd solved it before: Simply 'choose' 2 Gs out of 3, and the remaining 7 letters can be completely random! G G _ _ _ _ _ _ _...............[consider GG to be 'attached' together so that it can alternate in 2! ways] n = 2! x 3c2 x 7!.................. [but don't forget...

    That's for checking whether you can possibly transform a binomial distribution to a normal distribution. If A ~ B (n,p) then A ~ N (np, npq); where np > 5 and nq > 5

    Good questions. Allow me to answer them in bullets: Photons can come from electron transitions or almost any source of LIGHT; Electrons absorb the energy from photons and get promoted to discrete higher energy levels (this is also referred to as adsorption, but wanted to keep the rudiments...

    I know.. but we have to learn it in quantum physics too [continuos and line spectra]. This will give you a rough estimate: V I B G Y O R 400 - 700 nm

    Exactly! C's absorption peak is ~ 450 - 500 nm which corresponds to RED*. *You need to infer this from the emission spectrum, not from the table. It's best if you memorize the colors and their corresponding frequencies.

    Try to understand that the wavelength of the light absorbed is not equal to the wavelength of the light emitted. [i.e. if yellow light (600 nm) is absorbed, the same yellow light is not emitted! A light with the corresponding wavelength in the ABSORPTION SPECTRUM ~ blue is emitted] Here, this...

    Chemistry: Post your doubts here!

    On adding heavy water (D2O), peaks (Eg. -OH) disappear because the deuterium nucleus has a nuclear spin of +/- 1 rather than +/- .5, so it does not absorb the same frequency range as H1. See how the -OH is removed from ethanol after adding heavy water: CH3CH2OH + D2O <---> CH3CH2OD + HOD

    The splitting of the absorption peaks (n) depends upon the # adjacent hydrogen atoms (h). n = (h +1) peaks

    (i) The absorption peak (D) is ~ 650 nm which corresponds to the color (emitted) having a wavelength of 450 nm, i.e. blue. If the peak were to be shifted towards 700 nm, you would see a much darker (violet) solution. (ii) Apply E = h.f =h. (c/λ) [Since E is inversely proportional to λ, the...
