Electromagnetic radiation

Heat has been a problem to mankind for millions of years. It has caused heat strokes, heat rash, and dehydration. A way to obstruct this problem is color. Different colors absorb heat worse or better. The reason colors absorb light is because when color absorbs light, it turns it to thermal energy. If a color absorbs lots of energy, It makes lots of thermal energy (Morton, J. L. "Color and Heat Absorption"). Scientists believe that darker colors absorb better, and lighter absorb worse…

observations of these celestial phenomena by collecting electromagnetic radiation. Optical telescopes e.g. the Hubble Space Telescope collect light whereas radio telescopes like the Parkes Observatory serve the purpose in gathering radio waves. Radio astronomers speciality study space by observing and studying radio waves in detail. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation and ever since it has measuring regions on the electromagnetic…

basal cell carcinoma and Squamous cell carcinoma. It often changes your skin. There could be lesions that are not cancer at the moment but could develop over time. Radiation is known to be the most common and primary cause of skin cancer such as from the sun or from chemicals,Because the sun gives off three types of electromagnetic radiation that are close to skin cancer. UVB is the most damaging of the uv bands. UVB means the spectrum of the ultraviolet region, and when you get too much of…

because imagine how dangerous that could be not only for the human race but also the earth and everything else living in. With that amount of energy comes radiation. The definition of the word radiation is: "the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization" ( Radiation, 2017). If the amount of energy that is being absorbed is as much as Dr. Hansen says it is, then we need to immediately start finding ways to…

Findings This research report about Cell Phone Usage in America will report on four components. The of risk on cell phone usage that deals with health issues – brain tumors and electromagnetic radiation. Second, the benefits of cell phone usage that include mobile banking, instant communication, and GPS use. Third, statistics on cell phone usage that include hours per day spent on cell phone activities, listening to music, and the number…

Electromagnetic waves (which naturally involve magnetic fields and electric fields) are predicted by Maxwell 's equations. These equations are I. Gauss ' law for electricity II. Gauss ' law for magnetism III. Faraday 's law of induction IV. Ampere 's law. The reason the electromagnetic fields is mentioned is so that discussion of the energy in electric and magnetic fields can be addressed. We…

Rutherford figured out that a magnetized needle a lot of its magnetization in a magnetic field produced by an alternating current. By this magnet needle made an detector of electromagnetic waves. Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment involved a deflection of alpha particles through a thin sheet of gold. The deflection of the alpha particles occurred because the charged nucleus of the gold atoms changed the trajectory of the alpha particles…

In 1899, Rutherford separates alpha and beta radiation and discovers half-life. Rutherford discovered Radioactivity when working on Phosphorescent materials. Phosphorescent materials is a related to fluorescence, however unlike fluorescences it absorbs radiation. Rutherford also discovered most mass is concentrated in a small nucleus. Ruther could tell that the nucleus has a large mass by the diameter…

is measured in nanometres (nm). Frequency is the number of waves that pass a specific location in a certain period of time and is measured in hertz (Hz). The larger the wavelength, the smaller the frequency and vice versa. UV light is on the Electromagnetic Spectrum which is a large scope of different wavelengths and frequencies. Its seven sections are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays and gamma rays. The wavelengths of these are in order of the longest…

Planets and moons within the solar system are different in terms of composition, geologic activity, interior structure, magnetic field, and atmospheres. We can deduce each of these properties through routine astronomical observations, spectroscopic/remote observations, laws of physics, solar system modeling as well as direct sampling. Given that many economists and government officials object to using our resources to visit other objects physically, by studying our solar system we will continue…
