called the retina‚ to produce an image. The eye is essentially an opaque eyeball filled with a water-like fluid. In the front of the eyeball is a transparent opening known as the cornea. The cornea has the dual purpose of protecting the eye and refracting light as it enters the eye. After light passes through the cornea‚ a portion of it passes through an opening known as the pupil. Rather than being an actual part of the eye’s anatomy‚ the pupil is merely an opening. The pupil is the black portion

The phenomenon that is seen by the visible light after refracting through the prism provides a clear picture of transformation. Changing from the simple white light to the visually pleasing rainbow. The same can be said about the effect of reconciliation. By comparison‚ the 7 colors that are visualized all define

When discussing Isaac Newton the first thing that comes to mind is what a great scientist he was. While researching for this paper I learned there was so many other interesting facts in the life of Sir Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton was born December 25th 1642 in Lincolnshire‚ New England. (This date was later changed to January 4‚ 1643 when the Gregorian calendar was adopted in England.) Newton’s parents were Isaac Newton and Hannah Ayscoug. Newton’s father passed away in October 1642‚ three months

A more scientific contribution of Hertz’s research is seen in radio telescopes. Since many interactions in the universe cannot be seen in the visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum‚ various telescopes‚ such as the radio telescope‚ have been created to detect the effects of these events in other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum (Electromagnetic Spectrum). This is important for observing

Herschel discovered infrared light when he was observing the sun he noticed that when he put coloured filters over his telescope that different coloured filters heated up his telescope by different amounts. Using a prism he broke up visible light he put a thermometer in the different colours. He found that the temperature got more massive as he moved the thermometer from violet to red after this He then measured the temperature where there was no visible light ( red end of the spectrum) and it was

BASICS OF LEVELLING USES OF LEVELLING In the context of tidal measurements‚ levelling is used for the following purposes: • Referencing of Tide Gauges: To determine and check the vertical stability of the tide gauge bench mark (TGBM) with respect to reference points (benchmarks) in its immediate vicinity. In order to isolate any local movements‚ there should be at least three such benchmarks‚ and the levelling should be repeated on an annual or semi-annual basis. • Connection

After Apollo program ended budget cuts followed; but succeeded with the Skylab project and the Viking Mars Landers but most of all the majestic Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope lets us watch the expansion of the universe in a way never before imagined. Not only does it have 10 times the resolution of a ground-based telescope and 50 times the sensitivity‚ but another development around the same time made its unprecedented views of the universe more accessible than any previous scientific

knew exactly who was Galileo‚ then you should really read this project. In brief he was a great person who lived during the renaissance‚ and was a great follower of Copernicus. He was mostly an astronomer. Have you ever wondered when looking from a telescope‚ knowing that it was invented during the renaissance‚ who invented such a great thing at that time‚ think about it‚ what a great invention‚ I mean in that time to be able to see the stars which are so far away was something extremely amazing‚ today

Over 100 years ago‚ if you asked a scientist about the universe they would say it’s eternal‚ infinite and stable. No beginning and no end. So even asking the question about the origins of the universe was infinitesimally small. But at the start of the 20th century‚ that began to change. New findings stirred the old beliefs and paved the way for questions about where the universe came from. One observation altered our idea about the true scale of the universe. It started with a mystery in the sky
