Electromagnetic Radiation Infrared Radiation
1,377 wordsYou might remember the heroic role that newly-invented radar played in the Second World War. People hailed it then as "Our Miracle Ally." But even in its earliest years, as it was helping win the war, radar proved to be more than an expert enemy locator. Radar technicians, doodling away in their idle moments, found that they could focus a radar beam on a marshmallow and toast it. They also popped popcorn with it. Such was the beginning of microwave cooking. The very same energy that warned the B...

Prison Guards Death Row
466 wordsWilliam Faulkner said that "The best literature is about the old universal truths, such as love, honor, pride, compassion, and sacrifice. " This means that long standing truths contain ideas that appeal to people and also create a sense of feeling for the particular characters in the novel. I agree with Faulkner's statement because many books that I have read have contained the elements he named. This statement is true of the book I read, The Green Mile by Stephen King, because this novel has mu...

Aluminum Foil Magnetic Force
1,253 wordsSummary of Investigation An investigation was carried out to find out the relationship between the force created in a wire (or solenoid) when current flowed through it and the force from gravity. This was investigated by connecting a solenoid up to a variable power pack and then placing a light ring of either copper or aluminum around the solenoid. When the current flows through the solenoid, a magnetic force created from the solenoid should make the ring 'jump' up or levitate. When carrying out...

Marilyn Monroe Andy Warhol
1,017 wordsAndy Warhol We have seen photographs of the electric chair, and of Marilyn Monroe, we have seen Campbell Soup ads, but never in the isolation and starkness of Warhols presentation.

Hills Like White Elephants Clean Well Lighted Place

Soldier s Home, Hills Like White Elephants, and A Clean well-Lighted Place are perfect examples of three short stories that easily define his unique style.

Negatively Charged Positively Charged
571 wordsFusion reactions are inhibited by the electrical repulsive force that acts between two positively charged nuclei. For fusion to occur, the two nuclei must approach each other at high speed to overcome the electrical repulsion and attain a sufficiently small separation (less than one-trillionth of a centimeter) that the short-range strong nuclear force dominates. For the production of useful amounts of energy, a large number of nuclei must under go fusion: that is to say, a gas of fusing nuclei m...
