Funk And Wagnalls Carbon Dioxide
941 wordsCarbon dioxide lasers are one of the most powerful lasers ever constructed. The word LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers are devices that amplify light and produce light beams, ranging from infrared to ultraviolet. A light beam is consistent when its waves or photons, increase while mixing together. Laser light can be extremely intense, highly directional and very pure in color. Gas lasers such as the carbon dioxide laser is made active by ultraviolet...

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...

Overhead Costs Skilled Workers
1,763 wordsACTIVITY-BASED COSTING: BEYOND THE SMOKE AND MIRRORS ACTIVITY-BASED COSTING: BEYOND THE SMOKE AND MIRRORS Summary The business environment in the 1990 s is markedly different from that of the past when conventional cost accounting procedures were established. Activity-based costing (ABC), pioneered in the late 1980 s, offered a new costing approach consistent with the changed environment. However, ABC did not diffuse rapidly into the business community. This article demonstrates why adopting ABC...

Chicago Il London Routledge
489 wordsIt would cast light over thirty-six miles around, a welcoming sight for any lost sailor. The sailor then knew he was coming in toward the bustling city of Alexandria. Alexandria was a large, ancient city. The island, Pharos, on which the lighthouse stood got its name from one mans mishearing and another's misunderstanding. Helen and her husband Menelaus were returning home from Troy when they were blown off course and had to land there. Menelaus found an old man and asked, What island is this? T...

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...

Focal Length Distant Objects
1,280 wordsLight and other kinds of electromagnetic radiation coming from the universe outside the Earth must travel enormous distances through space and time to reach observers. Only the brightest and nearest stars can be seen with the unaided eye. To see farther and to clarify and measure what is seen, a telescope is needed. The word telescope is derived from the Greek words tele, "from afar, " and shops, "viewer. " Even a simple homemade telescope can clearly show Saturn's rings, Jupiter's bands and red...

Radio Telescopes Radio Waves
1,285 words... copes Orbiting telescopes are used to observe the ultraviolet (UV), far infrared, and X-ray portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The Infrared Astronomical Satellite, placed in orbit in 1983, carried a 22. 5 -inch infrared telescope. Because all matter emits infrared radiation if warm, technologists had to cool the telescope to near absolute zero with liquid helium so its internal heat radiation would not mask radiation it was collecting from deep space objects. Among its many discoverie...

Jean Paul Sartre Falls In Love
1,393 wordsThis essay is on setting differences using the works of Dante's The Inferno and Jean Paul Sartre's No Exit. Adam looks about spotting all the important people that will influence the rest of his life. He takes a deep breath and prepares to make this his last and final addition to life. Quietly he draws back from the church as if to stop time, this moment may define him as a man. He turns to look at the priest as if to reply his answer, but suddenly he realizes the hand he is holding is as cold a...

Review Of The Carter Collection Chinese Bronze Mirrors
1,919 wordsI was looking for building 125 east 65 th street, hoping that I would soon find any building looking like a museum. Finally, I came upon a building that looks like a rich brownstone in mid-Manhattan. I checked the address to make sure that my eyes were seeing correctly, and for sure, it was the correct place. I had to walk up a small flight of stairs and pass through a doorway that was open. I only went a couple more feet before a second door that was lock stopped me. There was a white flat smal...

Kenneth Branagh Major Difference
1,262 words"But no more like my father than I to Hercules. " Likewise, Lawrence Olivier's version of Hamlet is no more like Kenneth Branagh's than Othello to MacBeth. Nearly the only similarity is the script, and even that has been severely modified. In this quotation, the differences between the late King Hamlet and Claudius are displayed by Hamlet to his mother, Gertrude. In this paper, the differences between Lawrence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet are also shown. In comparing and contrasting Laur...

Fibre Crystal Mid Infrared Lasers
1,998 wordsFibre crystal mid-infrared lasers As we know, a laser is an optical oscillator made out of a gas, liquid or solid with mirrors at both ends (see, e. g. , The Computer Language Company Inc. , 2007 b). To make the laser work, the material is pumped with light or electricity. This pumping has excited the electrons and has caused them to jump to more high orbits. Some electrons do spontaneously drop back to lower energy levels what releases photons (i. e. quantum's of light). The photons do then sti...

Joyce Carol Oates Pied Piper
1,728 wordsCritical Analysis of Joyce Carol Oates Where Are you Going, Where Have you Been Introduction The sexual theme is often hidden in literature, and the darker sexual theme is often ignored. Joyce Carol Oates went beyond the typical expectations of society and wrote a short story with such a theme. Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been is based on the serial killer Charles Schmid, who was also known as the Pied Piper of Tucson. Charles Schmid was sentenced to death for the rape and murder of thre...

Lake Of The Woods John Wade
1,138 wordsJohn Wade: A Character Study John Wade is by far the most intricate and perplexing character examined throughout the novel In The Lake Of the Woods. His character hinges on the brink of order and chaos; on one hand, he is defined as a man who is obsessed with controlling the events and people around him. It is this obsession with control and order that lies alongside the central idea of the novel; that John Wade does not really know what happened to his wife. His blackouts and tendency towards s...

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...

Solid State Lasers Beam Of Light
1,373 wordsA laser (LAY zum) is a device that produces a very narrow beam of light. This is called coherent light. It is formed from producing light at equal wavelengths in phase. The result is a beam of light that does not stray from it? s path. Conventional light bulbs produce incoherent light. This form of light diffuses immediately upon radiation from its source. The size of a laser beam varies greatly. Some lasers produce beams that are small enough to fit 200 beams in an area the size of a pinhead. T...
