interest. By the year 1628 he would give up on this project and move on to several mores scientifically oriented projects. He would pursue the field of optics in which he may have discovered the Law of refraction, a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air, by the year of 1626. In late 1628 he would move to the…

Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. Before he was elected to the Royal Society in 1671 and publishing his notes on optics for his peers he was asked to give a demonstration of his telescope to the Royal Society of London. Over all his experiments with refractions Newton discovered that white light was a composite of all colors on the spectrum and stated the fact that the light was composed of particles instead of waves. In 1684, English astronomer Edmund Halley visited the secluded Newton. After…

precise as expected. Light rays are the information that enters the eye to be modified which are further processed by the brain. Light first enters the eye through the cornea where the rays are refracted (National Keratoconus Foundation, 2016). Refraction is the bending of light as it…

An example of a mirage is seeing a mountain or ship floating instead of being in its actual place. The cause of a mirage is the bending of light rays passing through the air at different temperatures, also known as refraction. An example of refraction is driving down a road on a hot day and seeing a puddle of water up ahead. When you get close to the puddle of water it has seemed to either have disappeared, or moved further down the road. When the puddle, in reality, was never…

1. The Tasman Orogeny is represented in the basement rocks or eastern Australia. The rocks make up one third of Australia’s landmass. The orogeny extends along the eastern seaboard from the Tasmania in the south to Queensland in the north. In the early Paleozoic to early Mesozoic Australia was located on the eastern side of the Gondwana super continent. It was situated above Antarctica to the northeast of India. The tectonic processes that increased in the size of the…

In Leibniz’s writings, Discourse on Metaphysics , he upheld the view that final causes are everywhere and to not notice them, but believe in God is ridiculous. Since as we know, Leibniz believed that God created the best possible world for us. Now getting to my point, I would like to effectively defend Leibniz against Descartes because in his writings, Meditations on First Philosophy , Descartes rejects final causes. First, I will explain what the connection between final causes and efficient…

Locke’s Limited Representationalism states that “Locke agreed with the naive representationalist that some of the properties of our sense data resemble properties of the matter that cause sense data. However, according to Locke, not all properties of our sense data resemble properties of matter”. Locke upheld that all objects have certain characteristics that fall into two categories, primary qualities and secondary qualities. Primary qualities exist in the object such as the shape size and…

The study of light became broader with law of refraction, calculation of its speed, and composition. Willibrord Snell and Rene Descartes independently discovered and quantified the law of refraction that proved to serve a significant practicality in constructing refracting telescopes. Several scientists attempted to calculate the speed of light such as Galileo, Cassini,…

The material is shatter resistant and will not break or crack if it comes in contact with a hockey puck or football helmet. Plutonite doesn’t affect the players vision or ability to play as it is lightweight and clear with zero to little light refraction. Plutonite has many advantages when compared to other materials used for eyeglasses. Plutonite stops all light waves. It exceeds the protection standards of many companies including the ANSI as said above.Plutonite has built in UV…

"The story of 3 women and 105 men", can you imagine this is actually refers to one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature "Water Margin"? When you read the headline, you will subconscious think that headline regarding to a yellow journalism and may generate curiosity to read more content, after you click on it, whereas it is actually a historical story about 108 heroes. This is called “clickbait”, which attract click-through rate by writing sensationalist headlines that…
