Ocean Waves A wave is a periodic disturbance in space and time‚ possibly transferring energy to or through a space-time region. Have you ever ridden a wave in the ocean? Ocean waves travel on the surface of the water. You can see them and you can feel them. As you swim through the water‚ you can even make your own waves. The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water‚ through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules

CHAPTER-15 Question 15.1: * Answer (b) Answer: 10 MHz For beyond-the-horizon communication‚ it is necessary for the signal waves to travel a large distance. 10 KHz signals cannot be radiated efficiently because of the antenna size. The high energy signal waves (1GHz − 1000 GHz) penetrate the ionosphere. 10 MHz frequencies get reflected easily from the ionosphere. Hence‚ signal waves of such frequencies are suitable for beyond-the-horizon communication. Question 15.2: * Answer

Abstract on Determining the Photosynthetic Activity in Plants Using Different Wavelengths of Light using Chromatography and a Spectrophotometer In this experiment‚ the separation of particular pigments‚ contained within a fresh spinach leaf‚ were examined. Paper chromatography is the process of separating certain molecules‚ or pigment molecules‚ based upon their polarity. Four different pigments were examined from the spinach leaf: chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and carotene. Based

Measuring the Effect of Light Intensity on Photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis captures energy from sunlight. Plants‚ algae‚ and some bacteria use the energy captured during photosynthesis for their metabolic reactions. During photosynthesis in plants‚ chlorophyll and enzymes in leaves convert certain wavelengths of light into chemical energy. A simple equation can be used to represent photosynthesis. Enzymes and Chlorophyll light energy CO2 H2O carbohydrate O2 In this investigation

tive if there existed a decline in population. Otherwise‚ r can be found as a ratio of the birth rate to the death rate. If we let 1 + r = b‚ the base of the exponential expression‚ the function becomes p = p 0bt. An alternative version of this relation describes the time it would take for the population to reach a given amount p: t = logb( p / p0). Students will use both functions to predict the future global population‚ provided the current growth rate or 1.3% (Abbott‚ 2004). This relation will

Absorption Spectroscopy Abstract: Absorption spectroscopy validated Beer-Lambert’s Law‚ confirming Beer-Lambert’s Law was a successful method in determining the molar concentration of a sample within a composition that is unidentified. Absorption spectroscopy is used in order to determine the ε value; ε was calculated to be .0566. Introduction: The purpose of the Absorption Spectroscopy experiment is to evaluate the reliability and accuracy

In the year 1803‚ Thomas Young first introduced the idea of trichromatic color representation. Young proposed that we have three “particles” in the eye that are each sensitive to a specific range of visible light that allows us to see color. Years later‚ Hermann von Helmholtz continued Young’s theory. Helmholtz suggested that the three different “particles” were categorized by their response the different wavelengths of light that hit the retina. Today‚ we know that the “particles” that Young and

The samples were prepared in the pellet form by pressing their mixed powder with KBr by the ratio 1:10 in the Perkin Elmer hydraulic device. 2.3.2. UV-Vis absorption spectra measurement UV-Vis spectra were recorded in N‚ N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) in the range 200-800 nm. All the UV-vis measurements were accomplished by a Shimadzu PC3101 spectrophotometer‚ under
