Hydroelectric power: The World’s Established Renewable Energy Resource For over a century‚ hydroelectric power has been used to generate electricity from falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Hydroelectric dams create height for the water to fall and provide storage. In general‚ the higher the dam‚ the more potential energy is available. Building up behind a high dam‚ water accumulates potential energy. The

With the use of the discrete spectrum of mercury vapor‚ hydrogen gas and neon gas‚ each of the visible color in their respective spectrum passing through the prism was used as the incident ray. The results determined that the red light of the neon discharge tube brought about a calculated refractive
