Electromagnetic radiation Electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) is one of the fundamental phenomena of electromagnetism‚ propagating and traveling through space via photon wave particles‚ carrying radiant energy. In a vacuum‚ it propagates at a characteristic speed‚ the speed of light‚ normally in straight lines. EMR is emitted and absorbed by charged particles. As an electromagnetic wave‚ it has both electric and magnetic field components‚ which oscillate in a fixed relationship to one

the injection was made‚ a cranial opening was made near the paramedian lobule and a coverslip was created right on top of the dura and the surgical cyanoacrylate. The researchers waited at least two weeks for the mice to recover‚ and an in vivo two-photon microscopy was performed by using a laser-scanning confocal microscope and external‚ non-descanned photomultiplier tubes. The parallel fibers were identified in raw z-stacks‚ and their changes in time were recorded. The size of appearance and disappearance

plants at the end of six weeks and record the data. The first step of photosynthesis is the absorption of light by a chlorophyll molecule. "The energy of the absorbed photon is transferred from one chlorophyll molecule to another until it reaches a site called a reaction center....One oxygen molecule is produced per eight photons absorbed." (Alberty 708) James Huheey‚ professor at the University of Maryland‚ talks about chlorophyll in his book Inorganic Chemistry: "Chlorophyll absorbs low-energy

Sources and Components – Definitions 1. Forward Biased LED – Semiconductor diode with a positive voltage applied to the p-region and a negative voltage to the n-region. 2. Incoherent Light – Light in which the electric and magnetic fields of photons are completely random in orientation. Incoherent light is typically emitted from light bulbs and LEDs. 3. Laser – Acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The laser produces a coherent source of light with a narrow beam

Stephen Hawking has been hailed as one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Albert Einstein. Hawking was born on January 8‚ 1942‚ which as he likes to point out is the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death. Hawking originally studied at Oxford University in England studying physics even though he would have preferred math. He moved onto Cambridge University to work on his PhD in cosmology. Hawking’s career has focused upon the cosmic entities known as black holes‚ and has extended

produces a color different the starting flame color. When the coffee stirrer was put into the flame‚ the element’s atoms (from the solution of the stirrer) left the original level of energy. When the atoms fell back to ground level‚ they released photons in the form of colored flame. Using the flame test‚ unknown compounds can be identified when they are burned since each element has a specific color. (Douma‚ 2008). The color of the flame produced from the heated atoms can be recorded as a line

warmth and light‚ providing the necessities for life. Even now we are still finding many uses for the massive amount of energy the sun produces. Light travels to the earth in about eight seconds and is filled with little packets of energy called photons‚ which make utalizing this solar power possible. There are three main ways to collect solar power. The first two are called passive system and active system. These use the sun ’s energy to heat up an object which can be transferred to another object

Introduction: Photosynthesis can be defined as light energy being converted into chemical energy‚ which is a very important process for plants and other organisms. Light can be described in terms of light quantity and light quality. Both of these have an affect on photosynthesis. The more light a plant absorbs the more the plant is able to photosynthesize. This light is absorbed though pigments which have specific interactions with certain light waves (colors). The goal of my first experiment
