Scattering of Light | The scattering of light is an important observation in our daily life. The way light scatters off molecules in the atmosphere explains why the sky is blue and why the sun looks red at sunrise and sunset. This is because of the scattering of light. | | | Tyndall Effect A beam of light or laser‚ invisible in clear air or pure water‚ will trace a visible path through colloidal particles. This is known as the Tyndall effect after its discoverer‚ the 19th-century British

Essay 1: Light and Color The fascinating properties of light are not all detectable to humans‚ because our reference is mostly limited to what we can see. In order to determine the atomic/molecular composition of a fluid or gas‚ one must consult an emission and absorption spectrum. The properties of this spectrum include also waves‚ which can be any length‚ and define the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Ranging from gamma rays to radio waves‚ an electromagnetic spectrum includes each

In light reactions‚ the goal is to transfer solar kinetic energy to chemical potential energy. This is first done by the absorption of a photon of light. Plant pigments are molecules that selectively absorb light energy at wavelengths. A pigment molecule absorbs a photon of light one of pigments electrons jumps to an energy level further than the nucleus. The electron has more potential energy here. The electron now has raised from the ground state to an excited state. Pigments of photosynthesis

A pantomime uses its technique‚ in where a story is told using just music‚ sounds‚ and the motion and facial expressions. The scene I find memorable is where the main character firsts
