Seismic Waves What are seismic waves? Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. These waves are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. There are many different types of these waves‚ but the two main ones are the body waves that usually travel though in inner layer of the earth‚ and the surface waves that only move around the surface of the planet. Body waves travel through the inner layer of the earth

Yukio Mishima’s The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea outlines various images of masculinity throughout the novel. Traditionally‚ the male role emphasizes the traits of being independent‚ strong‚ ambitious‚ sexually aggressive and emotionally stoic. Mishima has incorporated masculinity as one of the main themes in the novel and evidently portrays these characteristics through the character of Ryuji Tsukazaki. He is the main masculine figure in the novel in which many instances have defined

SHOULD WE USE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES? In terms of definition‚ Electromagnetic Wave is a “non-particulate radiation (radiation consisting of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge)”. Thus‚ in simpler words‚ electromagnetic is a transmission of energy‚ caused by the oscillation and of electric and magnetic fields. The word electromagnetic wave or electromagnetic radiation may sound complex. However‚ without

Alpha waves are regular‚ have medium frequency‚ and occur while resting. Beta waves are irregular‚ have a low amplitude‚ and occur while attentive. In stage one of the sleep cycle‚ we experience Theta waves‚ which have similar frequencies and regularity to Alpha waves. Stage two also involves Theta waves‚ but may also have short bursts of Alpha and Beta waves called sleep spindles‚ or Delta waves called k complexes. These are the two shallowest sleep

Sound and acoustics It is common to think that acoustics is the study of music. Although acoustics does comprise the study of musical instruments‚ it also includes an extensive range of topics‚ including: SONAR systems‚ noise control‚ ultrasounds for medical imaging and other processes‚ electroacoustic communication‚ seismology‚ etc. [1] In general‚ acoustics is the study of mechanical waves including sound‚ vibration‚ infrasound and ultrasound. When talking about the acoustics‚ it is essential

Beginning in the summer of 1869 Gustave Courbet produced a series of paintings depicting stormy seas during his stay at Etretat on the Normandy coast. The Wave (La Vague c.1872) exhibited in the National Gallery of Victoria is one such painting that features the central motif of a cresting wave. While many viewed the work as a simple realist seascape‚ the political implication of the work suggested by some of Courbet’s contemporaries is hardly discernable to the modern viewer. It can only be understood
