------------------------------------------------- Anechoic chamber An anechoic chamber (an-echoic meaning non-echoing or echo-free) is a room designed to stop reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves. They are also insulated from exterior sources of noise. The combination of both aspects means they simulate a quiet open-space of infinite dimension‚ which is useful when exterior influences would otherwise give false results. Anechoic chambers were originally used in the context of acoustics (sound

TYPES OF MAGNETIC MATERIALS Paramagnetic materials have a small‚ positive susceptibility to magnetic fields. These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons‚ and from the realignment of the electron paths caused by the external magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials include magnesium‚ molybdenum‚ lithium‚ and tantalum

Light is just one portion of the various electromagnetic waves flying through space. The electromagnetic spectrum covers an extremely broad range‚ from radio waves with wavelengths of a meter or more‚ down to x-rays with wavelengths of less than a billionth of a meter. Optical radiation lies between radio waves and x-rays on the spectrum‚ exhibiting a unique mix of ray‚ wave‚ and quantum properties. At x-ray and shorter wavelengths‚ electromagnetic radiation tends to be quite particle like in its

Microwaves History of Discovery: In 1864 James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves/microwaves. Then in 1888 Heinrich Hertz was the first to demonstrate the existence of microwaves by building an apparatus that detected and produced microwaves in the UHF region. Also in 1894 J. C. Bose publicly demonstrated radio control of a bell using millimeter wavelengths‚ and conducted research into the propagation of microwaves. Origin(s): One origin of microwaves include a maser

target are located remotely apart and the electromagnetic radiation serves as a link between the sensor and the object‚ the sun being the major source of energy illuminating the earth. The part of this energy is reflected‚ absorbed and transmitted by the surface. A sensor records the reflected energy. Remote Sensing is performed using an instrument‚ often referred to as a sensor. Most of the remote sensing instruments record electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that travels at a velocity of 3x10^8

Introduction: Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction of light or electromagnetic radiation with matter. Spectrophotometry is any technique that uses light to measure chemical concentrations. Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy when reacted with matter‚ can be absorbed‚ reflected or refracted‚ and how EMR reacts with matter depends on the properties of the material‚ based on the frequency‚ wavelength‚ absorbance etc. The electromagnetic spectrum shows representative molecular processes that occur

Effects [Cell] phones transmit and receive Radio Frequency (RF) signals in order to communicate. The RF signals from [cell] phones fall within the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This radiation is also referred to as microwave radiation or electromagnetic radiation. In short: Cell phones use microwave radiation to communicate.

An adventure into Astronomy Late at night I like to go into my backyard with a telescope and look at the stars that far away in the night sky. The view of thousands of stars feeds me with wonder and amazement about both the stars origins‚ and what treasures they may hold floating around them. All life needs a host star to form around‚ and all life comes from the ashes of these once glorious masses of gas. Astronomy offers us a great view of the universe around us‚ you can join me and others‚

In this simulation‚ you can input the temperature and observe the spectrum of the radiation emitted. a) The temperature of stars in the universe varies

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
