Light My Fire

the light that the spinach is exposed to. Knowing the wavelengths of light that spinach is most likely to photosynthesize would help in knowing what light to expose spinach to, to ensure that it grows the best. When exposed to varying wavelengths, rate of photosynthesis varies as well. Wavelengths of green light, red light, blue light, and light without a filter change the rate of photosynthesis, because of the wavelengths absorbed by plants. Spinach is green, so it absorbs red and blue light…

art had no organization, guidance or system. I thought that people just painted or drew pretty much whatever they wanted with no apparent rules. The Visual Elements that Getlein mentions on chapter 4 consist of the following; line shape and mass, light, color, texture and pattern and last but not least; time and motion (Getlein, 2012). These elements are intrinsically woven in art! Who would have thought that all these elements are essential to art? For example; the line is something so simple…

quality of the electrical lighting plays a role in learning and on concentration. Light is essential for humans to function, is essential for mood and cognition, essential for vision, can evoke emotions, and regulates bodily processes such as alertness and sleepiness. Having large windows that allow for an abundance of natural light is the best, but using quality artificial lighting can also work for when natural light is not possible or there is too much glare. In addition, lighting can also be…

Color skepticism is the belief that nothing truly possesses colors, since they are merely appearances to the perceiver. Although this is a sole belief on its own, there are many ways in which people have attempted to prove its validity. Some points of view include considering the scientific process behind the perception of color, while others, through a scientific lens, concentrate on what color really is, including its potential properties. However, I believe that the theory that is the most…

The Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix Public Library, and the Phoenix Art Museum have key characteristics that represent the landscape as well as their functionality. It can be said that the design of these buildings are similar and at the same time completely different in the way that they represent the landscape. The Instrument museum was designed by Rich Varda, an award-winning architect. The construction began on February 2008 and the museum opened its doors in April 2010. The Phoenix…

Optical spectroscopy can be observed using different types of equipment, such as, a spectrometer, a light collecting fiber, and tubes of certain types of gas (He, H2O, H2 and O2). The data collected displays the peak wavelengths for each of the gases, which can be used to determine the energy released when the electrons change energy levels. Overall, it was interesting to see how certain wavelengths of light relate to different types of gases. On the other hand, bond stiffness, the second…

products around the summer season. In this Crystal Light video advertisement, the concept of bikini season is used to polarize the two females. One blonde female who is concerned about looking attractive in her summer wear, and the brunette who does not care to engage in weight loss practices as she believes her work ties her down so much she will never get the chance to put on a bikini, therefore rendering it pointless to consumer Crystal Light. By analyzing the entire advertisement the…

Ghost Light is a play written and performed by Shawn Wright and directed by Thomas Morgan Jones. I attended the performance at Theater New Brunswick’s Open Space theater in Fredericton, New Brunswick on Friday November 25th 2016. The one-man show told the story of a boy native from Saint John, New Brunswick. That boy was in fact the actor himself, you were transported in his world through a heartfelt and authentic performance. The play as inspirational as it could be told the audience that it is…

In the video game Halo, Promethean Vision enables the players to look through solid walls at an object. At first glance, the properties of light as it interacts with most common materials may make this concept seem impossible to recreate in real life. However, by looking further into the physics of optics, the concept of see-through vision may not need to be confined solely to science fiction. Indeed, this technology may be replicable in the real world, to a limited extent, though it may not…

3. Algae bloom process the microbes involved in Algae are a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms, which vary from small, single-celled microbes to complex multicellular forms. Though algae bloom is considered as natural phenomena, but nutrient pollution can increase their frequency, duration and intensity. After getting adequate nutrition, the algae can grow rapidly in warm and slow moving water. The rapid increase in number causes the bloom to turn water noticeably green, but other…
