light scattering

(Hiementz- 659)


The Hiementz reference is math-heavy, with 10 different equations for turbidity, the last of which is shown below (Hiementz-685):



p, the constant 3.1415926...

, refractive index (Hiementz-669)

c2, concentration, Hiementz-713

M, molecular weight

NA, has the units molecules per cubic centimeter

B, the second virial coefficient. (See Flory-299, eq. 37 and Flory 649.)

The data from a light scattering experiment is used to construct a Zimm Plot.
