Ames Room An “Ames Room” is a distorted room that is used to create an optical illusion of relative sizes. It was invented by American ophthalmologist Adelbert Ames‚ Jr. The first Ames room was built in 1946‚ based on the late nineteenth century concept of German scientist Hermann von Helmoltz. As a result of the optical illusion created by the distorted room‚ a person standing in one corner appears to the observer to be significantly larger than a person standing in the opposite corner while the

Galileo Galilei Research Paper What is a conscientious objector? A conscientious objector is someone who stands up for what they believe to be right. Some obvious examples that come to mind would be Martin Luther King Jr.‚ who led the Civil Rights movement in the 1950’s and 1960’s‚ or Amelia Earhart‚ who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. An example that most people may not recognize is someone like Galileo Galilei. Galileo was a conscientious objector because he fought

Leonhard Euler was considered of the greatest mathematicians that ever existed. He was responsible for creating many math concepts including the invention of i. He also wrote many books that are still used to this day to teach students all over the world. Leonhard Euler was born on April 15‚ 1707 in Basel‚ Switzerland. Before he decide to become a mathematician‚ he at first thought he was going to be a clergyman‚ a religious priest. His parents‚ however‚ saw his potential for mathematics and sent

Flame Tests Atomic Emission and Electron Energy Levels AES‚ or atomic emission spectroscopy‚ is a method which chemically analyzes the particular wavelength of a sample element to identify and determine the abundance of this certain element. The wavelength of the atomic spectral line unveils the identity of the element while the emitted light intensity is proportional to the number of atoms in the element. The flame test is also a very effective way to identify an individual element. The color

Julius Robert Oppenheimer was born on April l22‚ 1904 in New York. Oppenheimers dad‚ Julius S. Oppenheimer was a German immigrant who became wealthy by importing textiles. Unlike many immigrants‚ Oppenheimer had a very decent childhood. Oppenheimer studied at the Ethical Culture Society School for grade education‚ then went to Harvard University for his undergraduate education. While studying to become a chemist‚ Oppenheimer switched majors to physics. Oppenheimer graduates in 1925 and then sailed

My predictions about the outcomes of both articles were correct. For the first article‚ “Why I finally Left My Prison Skinhead Gang” I expected the inmate‚ Royston‚ to leave his prison gang and live with the fear of being alone and uncertain of what might happen to him‚ over staying in the gang and not being pleased of the person he has become. In the case of Royston‚ I would encourage other inmates who are no longer happy with the gang or relationships they formed in prison‚ to also leave them

Introduction: To do the lab exercises for this lesson‚ you need to know a little bit about light. White light consists of all the colors of the rainbow mixed together. Diffraction refers to various phenomena which occur when a wave encounters an obstacle. In classical physics‚ the diffraction phenomenon is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings. Isaac Newton thought that light must be a particle because particles of light

Light Intensity Experiment: For the light intensity experiment‚ our first set of data illustrated strange correlations between the three tubes placed in front of a light source‚ so the data provided in e-campus was used. The tube that was 24 cm away from the light had the greatest decrease in absorbance over the course of 20 minutes‚ followed by the 30 cm and then the 49 cm light apparatus. The tube that was placed in the dark (wrapped in foil) remained a dark blueish-green color whereas the tubes
