In 1758 scientist found that the gases giving off by the burning materials emitted different colors of lights of spectrums. Not all the colors of the rainbow appeared and they were black gaps in the spectrum. 1802 it was discovered the solar spectrum had tiny gaps‚ they were many thin dark light in the rainbow colors. 100 years ago ‚ the hot solid gave continuos spectrum and the overall color of the line revealed the temperature of the object. This discovery made it possible to measure the

Running Head: VISION AND PERCEPTION:OVERVIEW Vision and Perception Introduction to Psychology Perception and sensation play a major role in our everyday lives. We need both perception and sensation to manage our interactions with everything around us. Of particular importance is our ability to sense and perceive sight. Without vision‚ we would not be able to see anything around us and without perception we could not interpret what we were seeing. Microsaccades are an important function

Motivation is the process by which individuals are activated into putting an effort into achieving goals. In order to motivate employees effectively‚ three points needed to be aware: 1. Amount of effort: The more employees are motivated‚ the more effort they will put in work. 2. Company goals: Have a clear goal. If the employees’ efforts are not directed towards the goals‚ the company cannot benefit from their motivation to work. 3. Employees’ needs: Provide something employee needed in order

comprise of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Beta radiation consists of fast moving electrons. A beta minus particle is emitted because a neutron is changing into a proton. What is a photon? A photon is a ‘packet’ of quantum of electromagnetic waves. An electromagnetic wave consists of an electric wave and a magnetic wave which travel together and vibrate: *at right angles to each other and to the direction in which they are travelling. *in phase with each other. As you can see the two waves reach

18th‚ 2012 Identifying Metallic Components Introduction: Spectroscopy is the study of the electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by the atoms and molecules. A photon in short is light. Atoms produce light by putting energy in‚ the electron then becomes excited and goes up an energy level‚ the electron then falls back down to its ground state‚ and out comes a photon (light). The electromagnetic spectrum contains color that we can and cannot see. The color blue has the highest energy with shorter

Now. 1) In this lab‚ you will use the Blackbody Spectrum Simulation to investigate how the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by objects is affected by the object’s temperature. 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 with the type of star and the age of the star among other things. By looking at the shape of the spectrum of light emitted by a star‚ we can tell something

Background Information: Spectrophotometry is a method that measures how much light is absorbed by using the electromagnetic spectrum. By seeing which colors are absorbed and which are reflected scientists can determine what a substance is without having to touch them. This is possible because each substance has a specific absorbance spectrum‚ meaning that the absorption spectrum of two different substances cannot be the same. Purpose/Hypothesis: 1. The purpose of the experiment was to determine

What is light produced‚ reflected and refracted into visible light? Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. The refraction of light when it passes from a fast medium to a slow medium bends the light ray toward the normal to the boundary between the two media. The definition of produced visible light means when the electromagnets radiation meets the human eye. The first example of produced is a glow stick because it produces its own light . Another
