New forensic laser technique for hair analysis Using a new laser technique‚ Jim Moran and his colleagues at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory‚ have devised a method of separating out the parts of hair samples that can reveal details about the recent history of the person to whom it belongs. In their paper‚ published in Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry‚ they describe a process they’ve devised whereby hair samples are pulled apart‚ rather than burned as a whole before being measured

What is the Chemical Basis of Colour in Fireworks? Abstract: The purpose of the first experiment was to see the light spectra of different elements‚ and confirm that each element shows unique emission spectra‚ in terms of being able to identify an unknown substance. The analysis is expected to show that elements do indeed have unique emission spectra‚ allowing elements to be identified by their emission spectra. After burning different chemicals under a Bunsen burner‚ the colourful light was

There are a lot of photon interactions throughout the radiologic field. These are produced when matter and excited electrons interact with each other at the same level. The photons are able to penetrate through matter without a big interaction due to the energy being absorbed in matter. The photons in this interaction are the x-ray and gamma photons. Their lives are ended when they give off their energy to an electron in need. This interaction along with the other interactions are very important

Incoherent Light: Light in which the electric and magnetic fields of photons are completely random in orientation. Incoherent light is typically emitted from light bulbs and LEDs. 3. Laser: Acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The laser produces a coherent source of light with a narrow beam and a narrow spectral bandwidth (about 2cm). Lasers in fiber optics are usually solid-state semiconductor types. Lasers are used to provide the high-powered‚ tightly controlled light

Electromagnetic waves in space See the book “Optics” by Hecht sections 3.2 and 3.3 Speed of light: EM waves travel in a vacuum with speed c = c = 299‚792‚458 ms-1 exactly They are transverse waves with (vector) E and B field orthogonal to each other‚ for this section bold indicates vector quanties. When far from the source (many wavelengths) the E and B fields are in phase The vector E x B points in the direction of motion Travelling waves can be written as E = E 0 ⋅ ei ( kx −ωt ) and B = B 0 ⋅ ei

light flux intensity‚ I‚ and wavelength‚ l are used in optical measurements. The frequency index n is also considered to characterize an absorbed light. Frequency is expressed in reciprocal seconds [cÀ1] and presents itself as the ratio of a radiation velocity c to a wavelength l [cm or nm]: ¼ c=l ¼ 3Á1017 =lnm ; n where c ¼ 3 Â 1010 cm Á cÀ1 or 3 Â 1017 nm Á cÀ1‚ the velocity of light. The frequently used index is the wavenumber equal to the number of waves in 1 cm. n The wavenumber
