Solid State Lasers Back And Forth
2,014 words
Laser is an acronym for light amplification by
stimulated emission of radiation. In the last
century many types of lasers have been used for
many different applications from welding to
surgery to military and even many uses in every
day life by harnessing the principles of light and
stimulated emission. To understand how lasers work
we must first understand the physics behind light
waves. Light is emitted from a source and travels
in straight lines and when it strikes an object is
either absorbe...

Time And Space Rem Sleep

In the middle of the night, I was taking a walk
through the woods. I could hear owls hooting and
animals scattering under leaves. From the vague
sound of water trickling over rocks, I knew my
destination was coming soon. As I was walking, the
heel of my foot got wedged between a stump and a
rock. I started to sway and my heart stopped.
Slowly I could feel my body fall towards the
ground. Not knowing when I would fall, where I
would land, what I would fall on or what might
fall on me, made my hea...

Speed Of Light Time Of Day
1,333 words
Our view of the sky at night is possible because
of the emission and reflection of light. 'Light'
is the better-known term for the electromagnetic
spectrum, which includes waves in the visible,
ultra-violet, infra-red, microwave, radio, X-ray
and gamma-ray regions. The scale of the spectrum
is so large that no region is distinct, several
overlap each other. Each of these regions in the
electromagnetic spectrum represent transverse
waves, travelling as electrical and magnetic
fields which interac...

Seismic Sea Sea Floor Water
550 words
A tsunami is a wave train, or series of waves,
generated in a body of water. Earthquakes,
landslides, volcanic eruptions, explosions, and
even the impact of cosmic bodies, such as
meteorites, can generate tsunamis. These waves can
savagely attack coastlines, causing devastating
property damage and loss of life. In English, the
word tsunami means "harbor wave. " Represented by
two characters, the top character, "tsu, " means
harbor, while the bottom character, "nami, " means
"wave. " In the past,...

I awoke, there was a crash on the upper deck. I
heard a thunderous crackling from my head above. I
ran up the stairs and what I saw devastated me.
The small wooden boat was completely coated in
billowy flames. "Help, help, somebody please!" I
slowly moved towards the sound being careful to
dodge flames as much as possible. The smoke was
choking me. I could see a faint outline of a face
across the deck. It was Tom, my lifelong friend

Aurora Borealis, " a name meaning "northern dawn"
in Latin, is a phenomenon that occurs once every
seven years in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth.
Also known as the Northern Lights, it originates
in the atmosphere very high above the Earth's
surface. The light is emitted when charged
particles from the Sun are guided by the earth's
magnetic field into the atmosphere near the
magnetic poles. When these particles collide with
atmospheric molecules, primarily oxygen and
nitrogen, at 100 - 300 kilo...

extremely influential part of everyday life, and
still is in the 21 st century. Most people credit
the invention of radio to a man named Guglielmo

trembling or Natural Disasters earthquake,
trembling or shaking movement of the earths
surface. Most earthquakes are minor tremors.
Larger earthquakes usually begin with slight
tremors but rapidly take the form of one or more
violent shocks, and end in vibrations of gradually
diminishing force called aftershocks. The
subterranean point of origin of an earthquake is
called its focus; the point on the surface
directly above the focus is the epicenter. The

Compton Electromagnetic Waves

Radio-wave technology is one of the most important
technologies used by man. It has forever changed
the United States and the world, and will continue
to do so in the future. Radio has been a
communications medium, a recreational device, and
many other things to us. When British physicist
James Clerk Maxwell published his theory of
electromagnetic waves in 1873, he probably never
could have envisioned the sorts of things that
would come of such a principle. His theory mainly
had to do with light...

Albert Einsteins theory Relativity Relativity
Albert Einsteins theory of relativity has caused
major revolutions in physics and astronomy during
the 20 th century. It introduced to science the
concept of relativity the notion that there is no
absolute motion in the universe, only relative
motion thus superseding the 200 -year-old theory
of mechanics of Isaac Newton. Einstein showed that
we reside not in the flat, Euclidean space and

I. Introduction 1. Theory of Black Holes Black
holes are one of the least understood phenomenons
in the galaxy yet the secrets contained within the
black hole could revolutionize the field of
physics. Black holes are formed when an enormously
massive star, most likely a neutron star,
collapses in on itself. This happens because when
the star dies all the energy generated from the
sun s fusion reaction that was formerly pushing
outward suddenly stops. When the outward force
stops, the sun has so ...

Nerve Endings Sound Waves
402 words
Waves Sound Waves Sound Waves Waves are
disturbances that travel through a space while
changing its matter. A sound wave is what allows
us to hear sounds. It is created by vibrations,
which are made by the movement of matter. Sound
waves must travel through a solid, a liquid, or a
gas. The more tight the particles, the faster the
wave will travel. This would mean that a sound
wave travels fastest through solids and slowest
through gases. The speed that it travels through a
liquid would come some...
