chlorophyll‚ a light absorbing pigment that in different variations absorbs different wavelengths of light‚ as well as other light absorbing pigments like carotenoids and hydrocarbons (Campbell‚ 2008). Chlorophyll a and b along with carotenoids each have a different absorption spectrum that allows them to process a different wavelength of light for photosynthesis (Wiles‚ 2013). In this experiment we tested varying wavelengths of light to see which would cause photosynthesis to occur to the greatest degree

The size of the chamber depends on the size of the objects to be tested and the frequency range of the signals used‚ although scale models can sometimes be used by testing at shorter wavelengths. ------------------------------------------------- Acoustic anechoic chambers Anechoic chambers are commonly used in acoustics to conduct experiments in nominally "free field" conditions. All sound energy will be traveling away from the source

Human Eye Vs. Animal EyeBy:Andrea Torres ABSTRACT The tapetum lucidum is an evolutionary advantage for animals. It enables animals to see in dimmer light than the animal would otherwise be able to see in. The tapetum lucidum is useful to animals‚ but it also has a use to humans. Human beings use the tapetum lucidum to scan for reflected eye-shine‚ in order to detect and identify the species of animals in the dark and to send trained search dogs and search horses out at night. Historically

Color sells products. It is a powerful marketing tool that significantly influences consumer purchases‚ so much so that it accounts for 85% of the reason why someone decides to purchase a product (Hemphill 275). Marketers must understand the psychology of color in order to employ it effectively. Colors possess the ability to take an action and influence human behavior and emotion‚ and when properly used can be a vital tool in a successful marketing scheme. Crowley found that a physiologically

Ideas about the solar system Our understanding of the solar system has changed over many centuries. Scientists such as Ptolemy‚ Copernicus and Galileo added their ideas to our changing understanding. We observe the universe using a variety of equipment‚ from telescopes to orbiters and landers. Models of the solar system The planets and the Sun orbit the Earth in Ptolemy’s model. Our understanding of the universe has changed over time. Different civilisations have created different models to

Visible light is also refracted by Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. lectromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nm. In terms of frequency‚ this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 430-770

spectrum of wavelengths and photon energy is called the electromagnetic spectrum. There are 7 different types of waves in an electromagnetic spectrum; radio waves‚ microwaves‚ infrared waves‚ visible light‚ ultraviolet waves‚ x-rays and gamma rays. Each of these categories contains different type of waves‚ which varies in wavelength and photon energy‚ which is the units in which electromagnetic radiation come in. Figure 1. An Electromagnetic Spectrum shows the different wavelengths and photon energies

experiment spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solutions were placed under various filters and the percent orange light transmittance through the solution was measured to determine the rate of photosynthesis. This experiment was set up to discover how different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis in a spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution. I proposed that the spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution under no filter‚ and therefore exposed to all light will have a highest percent orange light transmittance and
