The Advantages of Engineering Planet Earth is getting a lot warmer due to the greenhouse effect which heats up the surface of our planet from the presence of gases in our atmosphere. These gases allow for invisible rays of energy called infrared radiation to be emitted. It is widely believed that this is happening likely because of human activity and the burning of fossil fuels. But there is also great skepticism that it may not be human created‚ but rather a dramatic increase in solar activity

other things. By looking at the shape of the spectrum of light emitted by a star‚ we can tell something about its average surface temperature. i) If we observe a star’s spectrum and find that the peak power occurs at the border between red and infrared light‚ what is the approximate surface temperature of the star? (in degrees C) - The approximate temperature would be 3767 degrees C ii) If we observe a stars spectrum and find that the peak power occurs at the border between blue

interesting ways to travel‚ and we don’t mean surfing! Many things we use every day involve waves. Lights and sounds are examples of everyday uses that travel by wave. On the spectrum of light there are waves listed which are X-Rays‚ UV-Rays‚ and Infrared. Some of these are harmful to life‚ and some of these are helpful to life‚ where mostly they all serve both of these purposes. Another type of wave‚ though not on the spectrum because it is not light‚ are sound waves. Weather the wave is a sound

Ms. Wilson Chem‚ Blk 10 31 October 2012 Atomic Emission Spectra Lab Atomic spectroscopy is the determination of elemental composition by its electromagnetic or mass spectrum. An arrangement of all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation is called the spectrum; the plural being spectra. As light passes through a prism‚ the frequencies of light emitted by an element separate into separate lines to give the atomic emission spectrum of the element. There are two spectrums in the lab: the incandescent

This means it uses light in the visible and adjacent (near-UV and near-infrared [NIR]) ranges [23]. The absorption or reflectance in the visible range directly affects the perceived color of the chemicals involved. In this region of the electromagnetic spectrum‚ molecules undergo electronic transitions [24]. Figure 4 shows the

devices via infrared signals and a few via radio signals. Earlier remote controls in the 1970s used ultrasonictones. The remote control code‚ and thus the required remote control device‚ is usually specific to a product line‚ but there are universal remotes‚ which emulate the remote control made for most major brand devices. The main technology used in home remote controls is infrared (IR) light. The signal between a remote control handset and the device it controls consists of pulses of infrared light

headlines regarding “extreme weather events” occurring around the world and here in America left a curiosity about the history and technology used to forecast the Earth’s weather. Around the world meteorologists use technology such as satellites‚ infrared‚ radio‚ and radar transmissions‚ to help determine the most accurate forecast possible. However‚ even with the most advanced technology available‚ no predication is 100% accurate. Captain Robert Fitzroy of Great Britain started a forecasting system

Abstract The synthesis of isomer A and B of [Mo(CO)4(PPh3)2] were prepared from molybdenum hexacarbonyl‚ sodium borohydride and triphenylphosphine with a % yield of 79% and 8.5% respectively. Two isomer was identified using IR spectra and from isomer A four C≡O stretching
