Essay 1: Light and Color The fascinating properties of light are not all detectable to humans‚ because our reference is mostly limited to what we can see. In order to determine the atomic/molecular composition of a fluid or gas‚ one must consult an emission and absorption spectrum. The properties of this spectrum include also waves‚ which can be any length‚ and define the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Ranging from gamma rays to radio waves‚ an electromagnetic spectrum includes each

As the sun rises‚ birds begin to sing the joy of light and as the day ends‚ the birds fly back into the darkness of night. The darkness of our lives is often transformed by the delusion of light. In James Baldwin’s essay‚ "Sonny’s Blues‚"� the title itself sets up an irony that is explored throughout. The name "Sonny‚" when read‚ sounds like "Sunny‚" meaning brightness‚ light and hope.

of Language Light can take on many different forms‚ some more prominent than others. This concept is explored through the poem‚ “The Grammar of Light”‚ written by Carol Ann Duffy. The title itself is a metaphor as the term ‘light’ is being compared to language and how it can be structured in several different ways. As grammar is the study of how language is structured‚ Carol Ann Duffy uses the structure of light to emphasize language’s potential and/or its limitations. Because light is shown through

In light reactions‚ the goal is to transfer solar kinetic energy to chemical potential energy. This is first done by the absorption of a photon of light. Plant pigments are molecules that selectively absorb light energy at wavelengths. A pigment molecule absorbs a photon of light one of pigments electrons jumps to an energy level further than the nucleus. The electron has more potential energy here. The electron now has raised from the ground state to an excited state. Pigments of photosynthesis

Electromagnetic Wave from the sun such as light usually reflects horizontally off of surfaces. This process produces a super annoying glare that polarized sunglasses restrict from affecting your eyes. 3. In your own words‚ explain why we see a rainbow or colorful sunset.

My Green Light My green light is an ambiguous entity‚ consisting of multiple forms‚ each day varying from the next. This ever-changing pattern in my life is possibly a result of a void left behind from my childhood‚ as my parents had never encouraged or raised any desire to strive for a goal in me. As such I now have an inability to create a permanent goal for myself. My green light‚ in short‚ lacks conviction - it is deprived of the motivation required to maintain my interest‚ and eventually
