blocked from the Earth’s atmosphere‚ but some still gets onto the earth. UV beads have a pigment the changes color when exposed to ultraviolet light radiation. The dye in the UV bead is photo chromic that changes color when exposed to UV‚ which is chemical reaction. Review Literature UV‚ or ultraviolet‚ light is an invisible form of electromagnetic radiation that has a shorter wavelength than the light humans can see. It carries more energy than visible light and can sometimes break bonds between atoms

The effect of mobile phone radiation on human health is the subject of recent interest and study‚ as a result of the enormous increase in mobile phone usage throughout the world (as of June 2009‚ there were more than 4.3 billion users worldwide). Mobile phones use electromagnetic in the microwave range. Other digital wireless systems‚ such as data communication networks‚ produce similar radiation. The WHO has classified mobile phone radiation on the IARC scale into Group 2B - possibly carcinogenic

Visible light (commonly referred to simply as light) is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye‚ and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light is usually defined as having a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometres (nm)‚ or 400×10−9 m‚ to 700 nanometres – between the infrared‚ with longer wavelengths and the ultraviolet‚ with shorter wavelengths. These numbers do not represent the absolute limits of human vision‚ but the approximate range within which most people can

but on plants. In brief‚ we can say that microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wave length longer than those of terahertz (THz) frequencies‚ but relatively short for radio waves. There are lots of sites contaminated by microwave radiation from cellular radiation‚ power plants and high voltage towers‚ etc….. These affect the plants development‚ which drew our attention towards this project. Our hypothesis is that different doses of microwaves affect plant growth and development. To prove this

Computers are increasingly being introduced into safety-critical systems and‚ as a consequence‚ have been involved in accidents. Some of the most widely cited software-related accidents in safety-critical systems involved a computerized radiation therapy machine called the Therac-25.

Electromagnetic energy emitted at wavelengths we cannot see may take the form of infrared radiation‚ ultraviolet radiation‚ X-rays‚ gamma rays‚ and radio waves. Gamma rays have wavelengths much shorter than visible light. Radio waves are the opposite. Their frequencies are far longer than the longest waves our eyes can see. Electrical Energy Electrical

ways to study stars‚ planets and moons in the universe; but the most useful would have to be radio astronomy. Despite this‚ there are some who do argue that optical astronomy is the more useful of the two. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation and are given and received by many devices we use today‚ such as the radio‚ mobile phone or TV‚ but they have also been detected in space. Radio waves have long wavelengths at a low frequency‚ carrying less energy. Radio

of an alarmingly rising incidences of cancer and limited treatment options‚ physicians are being forced to look for treatments beyond the conventional ones. In such a scenario‚ Proton Therapy‚ the most advanced radiation technique available‚ is being projected as the Rolls Royce of Radiation Oncology. Unfortunately‚ access to proton therapy is limited for many patients due to the low number of proton therapy centers. Hence‚ many research institutes and hospitals are now investing in proton therapy

Danielle Silverstein PHY 101 Section 10497 March 4‚ 2013 Light up this World Purpose: In this lab experiment‚ LED lights will be used to show how when E&M radiation is absorbed‚ the energy is converted to heat. A drop of isopropyl alcohol will absorb light energy of different colors‚ and the evaporation rate of the alcohol will be measured. The key to this lab is the evaporation rate is directly related to the energy of the light shining on the drop. Materials: * * LEDs
