Waves effect our everyday life in many ways. Waves are very interesting ways to travel‚ and we don’t mean surfing! Many things we use every day involve waves. Lights and sounds are examples of everyday uses that travel by wave. On the spectrum of light there are waves listed which are X-Rays‚ UV-Rays‚ and Infrared. Some of these are harmful to life‚ and some of these are helpful to life‚ where mostly they all serve both of these purposes. Another type of wave‚ though not on the spectrum because it

During each wave of immigration into the United States‚ immigrants have faced many different injustices. Each successive wave of immigrants‚ however‚ discovered a better America. Immigrants in the second (Pre-Civil War) and the third wave (1880-1920) faced an America that focused on “Americanizing” them. This desire to strip immigrants of their culture did not exist on the same level after World War II and so the fourth wave of immigrants discovered an America more likely to accept them and their

The 5th Wave was an engaging story‚ featuring a witty central character‚ mystery‚ anticipation and a romantic story line. Yancey sets up the world perfectly and there’s little fault to be found there. The narration is introduced by Cassie‚ who tells the reader of her life before the aliens came and the 4 waves that subsequently wiped out most of the human population.

What is sound? Sound is a wave‚ a pattern—simple or complex‚ depending on the sound—of changing air pressure. Sound is produced by vibrations of objects. The vibrations push and pull on air molecules. The pushes cause a local compression of the air (increase in pressure)‚ and the pulls cause a local rarefaction of the air (decrease in pressure). Since the air molecules are already in constant motion‚ the compressions and rarefactions starting at the original source are rapidly transmitted through

Journal Entry: Making Waves For this assignment you will need a rubber tube‚ a spring‚ or a rope. Tie one end to a fixed support and move it up and down to produce a wave. What type of wave are you producing? Describe it in terms of its motion relative to the direction of energy transport and in terms of whether it is electromagnetic or mechanical. Next‚ you will need a wide pan of water. Repeatedly dip your finger into the water to make a circular wave on the surface. What happens to the wavelength
