Chapter II Light and Matter The Inner Workings of the Cosmos 2.4 The Distribution of Radiation All microscopic objects – fires‚ cubes‚ people‚ and stars – emit radiation at all times. They radiate because the microscopic charged particles in them are in constant random motion‚ and whenever charges change their state of motion‚ electromagnetic radiation is emitted. The temperature of an object is a direct measure of the amount of microscopic motion within it. The hotter the object

Artificial Breathing Aids - Iron Lung The Iron lung was invented in 1929 by Professor Phillip Drinker (1893-1977). The device performs the function of the muscles that control breathing. It was one of the first of several inventions designed to keep people alive who are unable to breathe unassisted. Pulmonators During the 1920s people who could not breathe on their own were aided by a pulmotor. This was a machine similar to fireplace bellows. It inflated and deflated the lungs by forcing air

surface of water and mud. Algae were evolving at the water’s edge‚ and one group – probably the charophytes – gave rise to plants. Cooksonia‚ a simple branching plant a few centimeters tall‚ evolved by 430 million years ago. It took another 160 million years for the taller Psilophyton to evolve. Then the evolutionary pace picked up. It took only 60 million years for plants radiate from the swampy lowlands to high mountains and nearly all places in between. They did so through modifications in

How to Plant & Grow Moringa The Moringa is a fast growing tree that can reach up to 3 meters in its first year. Moringa is an ideal plant to grow in your own backyard. Get a little Moringa in your diet‚ you can grow your own multivitamin! The Moringa tree grows to about 10 tall‚ with drooping branches. It thrives in subtropical and tropical climates‚ giving fruit and flowers continually. However Moringa grows best in dry‚ sandy soil. This makes it an ideal tree to grow in semi-desert conditions

between Exotic vs. Native plants In this investigation we will be looking at transpiration. The topic we will be focusing on is transpiration rates between native plants as well as exotic plants. We will be experimenting with 2 native plants as well as 2 exotic plants. The reason we are experimenting on this topic is because of Australia’s dry weather‚ we are wanting to find out which plants will be able to hold more water during Australia’s peaking tempretures‚ to do this we need to test their

“Light Pollution” is a form of environmental pollution in which excessive artificial outdoor lightings affect the natural environment. Light pollution in Hong Kong is very serious. The main reason behind that are the artificial outdoor lightings. As there are many buildings scattered in Hong Kong‚ artificial lighting is omnipresent. The severe light pollution reduces the number of stars that are visible in the sky. The HKSAR Electrical and Mechanical Services Department‚ 20% of the total electrical

Dispersion Of White Light by a Glass Prism: When a beam of white light is passed through a glass prism‚ it is split up into a band of colours called spectrum. This is called dispersion of white light. The spectrum of white has the colours violet‚ indigo‚ blue‚ green‚ yellow‚ orange and red (VIBGYOR). The red light bends the least and the violet light bends the most. A rainbow is a natural spectrum appearing in the sky after a rain shower. It is caused by the dispersion of sunlight by water droplets

INSECTIVOROUS PLANTS An insectivorous plant‚ also called a carnivorous plant‚ captures prey items‚ such as insects‚ spiders‚ crustaceans‚ mites‚ and protozoans‚ as a nitrogen source. Many insectivorous species live in freshwater bogs‚ where nitrogen is not present in available form‚ because the pH of the water is extremely acid. The forms of entrapment by these types of plants are modified leaves. Five basic trapping mechanisms are found in carnivorous plants. 1. Pitfall traps (pitcher plants) trap prey
