Mp 3 Player Mp 3 Files
1,289 words
Two years ago, MP 3 was just another audio
compression format. Today, it's a Net phenomenon
that's at the center of an enormous controversy.
That's because MP 3 makes it possible for people
with an Internet connection to bypass record
stores (and cashiers) and download CD-quality
music by their favorite artists -- for free. MP 3
is great for music lovers and cheapskates, who can
download funky tunes to their hearts' content
without spending a dime; however, it's a nightmare
for musicians and rec...

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...

Subatomic Particles Quantum Mechanics
756 words
Quantum Mechanics is the science of subatomic
particles and their behavior patterns that are
observed in nature. As the foundation of
scientific knowledge approached the start of the
twentieth century, problems began to arise over
the fact that classic physical ideas were not
capable of explaining the observed behavior of
subatomic particles. In 1913, the Danish physicist
Neil's Bohr, proposed a successful quantum model
of the atom that began the process of a more
defined understanding of its su...

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,...

also marks the beginning of our culture. Wave two,
marks the beginning of the Industrial Revolution,
atomic destruction, and mainstream items. The

When there is a sudden breaking of rocks within
the earth or an explosion, wave like energy
travels through the earth and is recorded on
seismographs. These are called seismic waves and
they are of two types: body waves and surface
waves categorized into different kinds. What we
will be discussing are body waves; there are two
types of body waves: primary waves (P waves) and
secondary waves (S waves). Both kinds travel
through the Earths interior in all directions and
arrive before the surface w...

Stimulated Emission Positively Charged

Lasers 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...

Earths Crust San Francisco
1,193 words
An earthquake is shaking or trembling of the earth
that is volcanic or tectonic in origin. A broadly
satisfying explanation of the majority of
earthquakes can be given in terms of what is
called plate tectonics. The basic idea is that the
Earths outermost part also called the lithosphere
consists of several large and fairly stable slabs
of solid and relatively rigid rock called plates
(Bravely 154). These plates continuously move
pushing and rubbing against each other. Since the
earliest of time...

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

While researching quantum physics, I realized that
I had just finished a book that was based on
quantum theory. At the time, I didn t quite
realize that quantum theory and quantum physics
were related except in name. Niels Bohr once said,
Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has
not understood it. He believed this because
quantum physics makes the common laws of classical
physics false on small scales. First, quantum
physics is the physics of the incredibly small. It

Nerve Endings Sound Waves

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...

Surfers Tend To Stand Face Of The Wave Board

Surfing Surfing is a water sport that originated
in what is now Hawaii. People in Hawaii were
surfing before explorer Christopher Columbus
sailed to the New World in 1942. Today, surfing is
popular in many countries, including Australia,
Brazil, France, Indonesia, Japan, Portugal, Peru,
South Africa, and the United States. Ancient
Hawaiians surfed on wooden boards that were up to
18 ft. Long. With the development of lighter
boards, however, surfing became a popular sport.
By the 1930 s the solid...
