Encoding Information with Light’s Orbital Angular Momentum Light is the future of communication‚ traveling at 3‚000‚000 meters per second‚ the cosmic speed limit of the universe. Its tremendous speed makes it optimal for data transmission. The conventional method to encode information in light is through amplitude modulation‚ i.e. light pulses‚ time division multiplexing‚ i.e. delaying the time light beams enter a channel‚ and wavelength multiplexing‚ i.e. multiple beams of light in one channel

Lab 5 Conservation of Momentum and Energy Abstract The physics laws governing conservation of momentum and mechanical energy were investigated by performing multiple experiments with differing conditions. Conservation laws state energy is to be conserved in systems with no net external forces. Two trials consisted of inelastic collisions and two trials consisted of elastic conditions.
