Internal Combustion Engine Reformulated Gasoline
1,965 wordsAs time approaches the 21 st century, the automobile has become our major source of mass transportation. Everything about our culture and society has developed around this necessary form of travel. However, along with this necessity comes the issue of pollution to the environment. These great gasoline powered vehicles have contributed greatly to the impurity of our environment. The two prominent alternative fueled vehicles yet brought up are the Electric car (EV) and the Hybrid electric car (HEV...

Speed Of Light Time Of Day
1,333 wordsOur 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...

Amount Of Energy Stimulated Emission
1,113 wordsThere are only about 100 different kinds of atoms in the entire universe. Everything we see is made up of these 100 atoms in an unlimited number of combinations. They continuously vibrate, move and rotate. Even the atoms that make up the chairs that we sit in are moving around in class. Atoms can be in different states of excitation (Bertolotti 48) or they can have different energies. If we apply a lot of energy to an atom, it can leave what is called the ground-state energy level and go to an e...

Released Into The Atmosphere Greenhouse Gases
958 wordsGlobal warming is an increase in the earth's temperature due to fossil fuels, industry, and agricultural processes caused by human, natural, and other gas emissions. (Melissa Phillips). This results in an increased emission of greenhouse gases. (Caroline Quatman). Short-wave solar radiation sinks into the Earth's atmosphere and warms its surface; while longwave infrared radiation emitted by earth's surface is absorbed, and then re-emitted by trace gases. (Brent C. Willhoite) Climate changes occu...

Burning Of Fossil Greenhouse Gases
985 wordsGlobal warming is a steady increase in earths average temperature which appears to be acknowledged by many scientists and people at the present as reality. Increasing human activities are changing the Earth's temperature which includes natural influences that have been there over the past. By and large, this warming takes place due to the use of green-house gases emitted in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Some skeptics believe and some studies seem to point out that human production of greenhouse ...

Solid State Lasers Beam Of Light
1,749 wordsL A S E R S Did you know that some laser beams are small enough and powerful enough to drill two hundred holes on a spot as tiny as the head of a pin? The first major advancement in laser development came in 1954. This was the year that Charles H. Townes, an American physicist, created a device that amplified microwaves. This device was actually called a maser at first, which was short for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation Masers. It produced microwaves of just one freq...

Greenhouse Gases Carbon Emissions
708 wordsThe increase in greenhouse gases results from human related environmental pressures generated by growing population levels and greater consumer demands. As with so many environmental problems, the real challenge is to find effective ways to address these demands. Possible solutions to decreasing or avoiding the problems with the impending climate change will involve both immediate and long-term strategies. Immediate strategies to curb global warming are those, which act directly on the prices or...

Climate Change And Global Warming Part 1
1,817 wordsClimate Change and Global Warming (1) The problem of Global warming is considered to be one of the most troubling issues of the contemporary era. It has been noticed that the average air temperature in different parts of the world is being on the constant rise, ever since the humanity's existence began to depend more and more on exploitation of fossil fuels. While in 1870 the carbon fuel emissions in the air were almost non-existent, in 2000 their amount has reached 6 billion tons. Many scientis...

Another view classifies environmental problems into land degradation that includes deforestation and desertification; and environmental pollution and degradation that includes chemical, solid waste, water and radiation pollution, as well as air pollution within which acid rain and global warming are included (Long). In recent times, the Clear Skies Policy has been claimed by its advocates to have the capacity to reac...

Stimulated Emission Positively Charged
948 wordsLasers HISTORY OF LASER PRODUCTION The roots of laser mechanism are very modern. In 1900 German physicist Max Planck presented an explanation of why the colors of a glowing hot body may change with temperature. He also proposed discrete quantum theory saying that radiations come in discrete quantities called quanta. Therefore radiations are not only a series of waves but a stream of particles called photons. By 1917, Einstein has outlined the principles underlying the production of laser radiati...

Alternative Vehicle Fuel Sources
1,633 wordsAlternative Vehicle Fuel Sources For last years there is a tendency to increasing the number of vehicles in the United States. According to National Household Travel Survey this number tripled from 1969 to 2001. The same tendency is noticed in other progressive countries. Almost all of them use hydrocarbon fuels. But the sources of hydrocarbon fuels will come to end; and, most of all, carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions causes global warming. Hydrocarbon fuels, such as coal and natural gas, are burn...

Global Climate Change Effects Of Global Warming
1,866 wordsThe impact of people on their environment can be devastating. This is where the respective role of governments can make decisions that shape environmental policy and responsibilities. These governments can be broken up into four different levels: local, state, federal and international. Air quality and biodiversity are two current issues that can be related to the role of governments. Global warming is also another implication that has a devastating effect on the environment. Current examples in...

Fossil Fuels Global Warming
1,982 wordsThe Potential Markets Hydrogen ANALYSIS The Potential Markets For Non-Fossil Fuel Hydrogen? Hydrogen, most of it produced from fossil fuels, is already widely used in the chemicals industry, notably in the manufacture of fertilizers and petrochemicals. It would therefore be possible to substitute NFFH in this market. However, the total that could be absorbed by 2040 is unlikely to represent more than about 3 % of current total world energy demand. ? NFFH could be used to satisfy much of the dema...

Back And Forth Stimulated Emission
1,080 wordsThe light from lasers differs from ordinary light in several important aspects. Ordinary light from a light bulb travels randomly in all directions (unless the bulb is equipped with an integral reflector that directs the light). The light is thus incoherent. Even when incoherent light is directed with a reflector, it still spreads rapidly. The light from a laser is temporary and spatially coherent. This means that all of the wave-fronts of light are lined up in time and space (see Diagrams). The...

M P H Black Hole
3,742 wordsBlack holes are objects so dense that not even light can escape their gravity, and since nothing can travel faster than light, nothing can escape from inside a black hole. Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. Since our best theory of gravity at the moment is Einsteins general theory of relativity, we have to delve into some results of this theory to understand black ...
