Waves Assignment Microwave Ovens Microwave ovens‚ or microwaves‚ are kitchen appliances which use microwave radiation to cook‚ heat or defrost food. Properties of a microwave: Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than those of Terahertz (THz) wavelengths‚ but relatively short for radio waves. Microwaves have wavelengths approximately in the range of 30 cm (frequency = 1 GHz) to 1 mm (300 GHz). The word microwave generally refers to "alternating current signals with

hire someone to guard your favorite things? This research paper is going to talk about‚ how robots work. Terms that will be discussed in this paper will include Infrared (IR) light‚ electromagnetic radiation‚ electromagnetic spectrum‚ and sensors. Infrared radiation light is simply electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths (The American Heritage Student Science Dictionary 177). Infrared is usually called Infrared light‚ though it’s not visible to the human eyes (The American Heritage Student

CHAPTER -2 SADDLE ANTENNA 2.1 NOVEL UWB ANTENNA DESIGN CONCEPT Saddle antenna is a unique kind of flared antenna. This Ultra Wide Band antenna is based on using of two smoothly shaped flares of a simple geometrical structure – the saddle. The first flare‚ larger in size‚ serves as an antenna base‚ reflector and one of the radiator arms. The second flare‚ smaller in size‚ operates as the other arm of the radiator. An apparent idea is exploited in this design that an “ideal”

often than we think because with out light we wouldent posibly be able to see color on any thing‚ or we wouldent have photosynthisis which sunlight is used for. The term spectrum refers to light in general or the whole range of electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic field was found in the 19th centurie. It was founded by James Clerk MAXWELL of Scotland and published in 1865. The field is described in two quantities the electric component E and the magnetic component B and both charge

considerably. The antenna is designed for direct placement on a conducting surface. This surface could be part of the train. It uses the surrounding metal as a ground plane in order to reduce its size. The result is a small patch antenna with good radiation qualities in metallic surroundings. The longest side is 18.35 mm‚ equaling 14.9 % of the wavelength that the antenna

by “killing cancerous cells” (Ioffe). This process is called radiation therapy. Some examples of the radioisotopes in this process are “Iodine-131‚ phosphorus-32” and for “more radical uses‚ Boron-10 to specifically attack tumor cells” (Ioffe). In the process‚ radioactive elements are inserted near the tumor. Radiation is more harmful to growing cells and cancerous cells grow at an uncontrolled rate‚ giving them a disadvantage to radiation exposure. The cancerous will start to be destroyed and when

electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[4] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object has a different meaning‚ and is instead the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below the low frequencies used for modern radio communication to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end‚ thereby covering wavelengths from thousands

Plutonium Contamination and Radiation Effects In Kristen Iversen ’s book‚ Full Body Burden‚ she talks about the causes and effects of the plutonium contamination and radiation effects. There are many effects caused by plutonium contamination and radiation exposure. There are many different types of cancer caused by the exposure. There are three main cancers discussed in her book. They include bone or lung cancer‚ brain cancer‚ and leukemia. Bone and lung cancer is a main effect of plutonium

manufactured by the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) and went down to history as one of the world’s worst software disasters. The machine was released to the market in 1983 and was later involved in at least 6 accidents that lead to enormous radiation overdoses for the patients. One of the major innovations of the Therac-25 was the move to complete computer control‚ which allowed operators to set up the machines more quickly‚ so they could focus more on the patients. Altogether‚ eleven Therac-25
