Solid State Lasers Back And Forth
2,014 wordsLaser 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
1,416 wordsIn 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 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...

Seismic Sea Sea Floor Water
550 wordsA 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,...

Electromagnetic Waves High Frequency
390 wordsAurora 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...

Charleston S C Volcanic Eruptions
2,884 wordstrembling 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 magnitude and intensity of an earthquake i...

Compton Electromagnetic Waves
1,525 wordsRadio-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...

Big Bang Theory 20 Th Century
3,306 wordsAlbert 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 uniform, absolute time of everyday experience, but in another e...

Speed Of Light General Theory Of Relativity
3,151 wordsI. 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 wordsWaves 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...
