1
Fractures a) Produced first b) Always form on the side of the glass opposite to where the impact originated c) Look like spider webs that spread outward from the impact hole d) Always terminate into an existing fracture
2
Forensic chemistry Burning paper: physical or chemical?
3
Vocab without shape or form; applied to glass, it refers to having particles that are arranged randomly instead of in a definite pattern
4
Vocab a hard, amorphous, transparent material made by heating a mixture of sand and other additives
5
Refractivity the line created as refracted light becomes concentrated around the edges of a glass fragment If a piece of glass is placed in a liquid (with a different refractive index) an outline of the glass is clearly visible (5) This line is known as then _______ ____
6
Formula the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume, expressed by the equation, density = mass/volume
7
Types of glass the most common glass – inexpensive and easy to melt and shape
8
Conversion Convert 3 dag to mg.
9
Forensic chemistry Frying an egg: Physical or chemical?
10
Types of glass 1. Stronger than ordinary glass 2. Strengthened by introducing stress through rapid heating and cooling of the glass surface 3. When broken, this glass does not shatter, but fragments or breaks into small squares 4. Used in the side and rear windows of automobiles
11
Types of glass 1. Constructed by bonding two ordinary sheets of glass together with a plastic film 2. Also used by automobile manufactures
12
Databases What database run by the FBI offers crime labs that ability to exchange or compare DNA profiles electronically?
13
Vocab a crack in the glass from a rough circle around the point of impact
14
Used to identify glass b) Class Characteristics (2) Trace elements in glass may prove to be distinctive and measureable characteristics (3) The physical properties ___________________are used most successfully for characterizing glass particles, but only as a class characteristic
15
Vocab the chemical name for silica
16
Vocab a crack in the glass that extends outward like the spoke of a wheel from the point at which the glass was struck
17
Vocab/characteristic of glass the change in the direction of light as it changes speed when moving from one substance into another
18
Forensic chemistry Mixing salt and water: physical or chemical?
19
Fracture a) Form second b) Encircle the bullet hole c) Always start on the same side as that of the destructive force
20
Direction bullet was fired (1) The bullet makes a very small hole here (2) The glass always blows back in the direction of the __________ because of elasticity
21
Investigation vocab It is important to keep this when handling glass in investigations and cases to avoid any mishandling of processing evidence.
22
Vocab a) The primary ingredient of glass b) Also known as silica or silicon dioxide (SiO2)
23
Substance found in all glass a) Change the temperature at which the formers melt during the manufacturing of glass b) Examples: sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and potassium carbonate (K2CO3)
24
Fractures Curved fractures you can see when looking at the thickness of the glass. Face outward toward the exit hole of the glass.
25
Vocab (3) Every liquid has its own ________ _____ ? (1) A measure of how much an object slows light (a) Light slows down when it passes through any medium (the denser the medium, the slower the light travels) (b) Any object that transmits light has its own ___________ ____________ (2) A ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to the velocity of light in a particular medium
26
Direction bullet was fired (1) Are always larger, regardless of the type of material that was shot (2) A larger piece of glass is knocked out of the surface where the bullet is leaving because glass is elastic and bows outward when struck
27
Forensic chemistry What are the 4 chemical reactions we discussed?
28
Physical characteristic of glass Formula for density
29
Vocab There are various ones of these that contain a lot of information useful to solving cases and providing information. A few are: Sole-Mate, CODIS, Ident-A-Drug, Forensic Information System for Handwriting.
30
Types of glass glass containing lead oxide aka crystal 1. Contains lead oxide which makes it denser 2. Sparkles as light passes through it (light waves are bent) 3. Used for manufacturing fine glassware and art glass 4. Is commonly called crystal
31
Conversions What possibility of base units can you have in the conversion system we talked about?
32
Forensic databases What database offers the electronic storage and search capabilities of matching fingerprints?
33
Type of glass volcanic glass
