Electromagnetic spectrum is just a name for the range of ALL possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object has a different meaning‚ and is instead the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. The spectrum extends from below the low frequencies used for modern radio‚ to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength (or high-frequency) end‚ therefore covering wavelength for thousands of

MEN 510 Energy Conversion Assignment 2 Proton Therapy Presented to: Dr. Walid Assaf By: Farid Akiki 20082191 Semester: Fall 2012 Proton Therapy Proton therapy (also called proton beam therapy) is a type of radiation treatment that uses protons rather than x-rays to treat cancer. A proton is a positively charged particle that is part of an atom‚ the basic unit of all chemical elements‚ such as hydrogen or oxygen. At high energy‚ protons can destroy cancer cells. Proton therapy

Waves Assignment Microwave Ovens Microwave ovens‚ or microwaves‚ are kitchen appliances which use microwave radiation to cook‚ heat or defrost food. Properties of a microwave: Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than those of Terahertz (THz) wavelengths‚ but relatively short for radio waves. Microwaves have wavelengths approximately in the range of 30 cm (frequency = 1 GHz) to 1 mm (300 GHz). The word microwave generally refers to "alternating current signals with

hire someone to guard your favorite things? This research paper is going to talk about‚ how robots work. Terms that will be discussed in this paper will include Infrared (IR) light‚ electromagnetic radiation‚ electromagnetic spectrum‚ and sensors. Infrared radiation light is simply electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths (The American Heritage Student Science Dictionary 177). Infrared is usually called Infrared light‚ though it’s not visible to the human eyes (The American Heritage Student

CHAPTER -2 SADDLE ANTENNA 2.1 NOVEL UWB ANTENNA DESIGN CONCEPT Saddle antenna is a unique kind of flared antenna. This Ultra Wide Band antenna is based on using of two smoothly shaped flares of a simple geometrical structure – the saddle. The first flare‚ larger in size‚ serves as an antenna base‚ reflector and one of the radiator arms. The second flare‚ smaller in size‚ operates as the other arm of the radiator. An apparent idea is exploited in this design that an “ideal”

often than we think because with out light we wouldent posibly be able to see color on any thing‚ or we wouldent have photosynthisis which sunlight is used for. The term spectrum refers to light in general or the whole range of electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic field was found in the 19th centurie. It was founded by James Clerk MAXWELL of Scotland and published in 1865. The field is described in two quantities the electric component E and the magnetic component B and both charge

considerably. The antenna is designed for direct placement on a conducting surface. This surface could be part of the train. It uses the surrounding metal as a ground plane in order to reduce its size. The result is a small patch antenna with good radiation qualities in metallic surroundings. The longest side is 18.35 mm‚ equaling 14.9 % of the wavelength that the antenna

by “killing cancerous cells” (Ioffe). This process is called radiation therapy. Some examples of the radioisotopes in this process are “Iodine-131‚ phosphorus-32” and for “more radical uses‚ Boron-10 to specifically attack tumor cells” (Ioffe). In the process‚ radioactive elements are inserted near the tumor. Radiation is more harmful to growing cells and cancerous cells grow at an uncontrolled rate‚ giving them a disadvantage to radiation exposure. The cancerous will start to be destroyed and when
