    emissions are electromagnetic radiations which occur due to the spontaneous disintegration of unstable nuclei. Natural elements with atomic number greater than 83 and isotopes of some lighter elements are found to be radioactive. They are categorized as alpha‚ beta and gamma radiations. Alpha particles are positively charged helium-4 nuclei ‚ beta particles are high energy-high speed electrons while gamma rays unlike alpha and beta radiation have no mass and charge and are short electromagnetic waves consisting

    Lesson 1 Key Question Answers 1. What does Hubble’s law predict about the speed of a galaxy far away from the Milky Way compared to one that is closer? Hubble’s law predicted that galaxies were moving away from earth at a rate proportional to their distance from us. The farther away from the Milky Way a galaxy is‚ the larger the redshift is. The farther away a galaxy is‚ the faster it is moving away. Conversely‚ blueshifted galaxies‚ such as Andromeda‚ are moving closer to the Milky Way.

    important wave phenomenon‚ the surface wave. It occurs in many physical systems both mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical surface waves can exist at the interface between two media with different densities such as the oceans and air. Ordinary sea waves and tsunamis are surface waves. Seismic events can produce both longitudinal and shear waves at the earth’s surface‚ resulting in earthquakes. Electromagnetic surface waves can occur at the interface between dielectric and con-ductive media or between

    • 4 Pages

    Tyndall effect‚ the longer-wavelength light is more transmitted while the shorter-wavelength light is more reflected via scattering. An analogy to this wavelength dependency is that longwave electromagnetic waves such as radio waves are able to pass through the walls of buildings‚ while shortwave electromagnetic waves such as light waves are stopped and reflected by the walls. The Tyndall effect is seen when light-scattering particulate-matter is dispersed in an otherwise-light-transmitting medium

    How a Microwave Works By Zach Betten     [pic] What is a Microwave?        A microwave oven or microwave is a kitchen appliance that cooks or heats food by using electromagnetic waves. This happens by using microwave radiation to heat materials such as water and other things within the food. This leads to food being more evenly heated throughout.             Basic microwave ovens heat food quickly and efficiently. One setback is that they do not brown or bake food in

    Microwave oven (with no rotating dishes) Background Trying to measure the speed of light using a microwave with different types of food. This experiment is related to physics. Things such as televisions‚ radios and microwaves oven use electromagnetic waves. With the hotspots we can measure the distance between them and then we will have to apply the equation C=FI and then multiply the frequency of the microwave. Then I will compare my results to the one published which is 299‚792‚458 m/s.
