Light My Fire

is described by the properties of particles and wave. Few properties of electromagnetic radiation for eg. Its refraction when it passes from one medium to another are explained best by describing light as a wave. Some other properties such as emission and absorption are better explained by treating light as a particle. The correct or exact nature of electromagnetic radiation is not clearly known, as it has the development of quantum mechanism in the first quarter of twentieth century. Wave…

Jalousie windows have horizontal slats layered on top of each other and are opened using a crank. They can be opened in unison or at different angles to let in air or light. They are ideal for both commercial and residential units. When choosing the type of windows to fix in your home, it is important to consider the climate, the expectations of the space and the architectural design of the house. Windows complement the interior decor of the house. Jalousie windows are an excellent choice for…

The light we see from the sun is not exactly the light that comes to the earth from the sun. We see sunlight as being whitish in color, but it actually is a blend of the colors of the rainbow. The reason we see it this way has to do with the way our eyes perceive color. This is because, “Our eye contains three kinds of light-sensitive cells, each sensing a different band of colors--one band centered in the red, one in the green and one in the blue” (“(S-4) The Many Colors of Sunlight,” 2006).…

Leo Tolstoy and James Joyce both use the aspect of light and darkness as symbols in their stories to represent the characters and their feelings. In The Death of Ivan and Ilyich, one of the symbols Tolstoy uses is the black sack. This sack was a long narrow sack that was never ending and the character in the story, Ivan, experiences going through this black sack twice. The first time he experiences going through this sack was right after he was given a medicine, opium. Ivan falls into the black…

I will die in beauty. I remember reaching to the light, my sisters and brothers encouraging me along. It was long ago. A distant memory. Now I wonder if it was worth it but back then it, meant everything. I came from a dark grimy place. Day after day I could see nothing but black encompassing darkness. It was cold, rough and scary. In hush whispered terms brother spoke of a different world, a faraway place, where the darkness couldn’t reach us. Back then I thought it was just a fairytale. I…

experiment are to use the formula n=d sin() where “n” is an integer (representing the number of “jumps”). Further objectives for this section include the accurate and precise measurement of the aforementioned distances. These distances (that between the light arrangement and the wall as well as that between two dots (n=1)) are then used in the equation to find sin() (Sin(x)= opposite/hypotenuse). The final goal of this part is to be able to accurately and effectively calculate the value of d, by…

into a Las Vegas nightclub, exploding in neon pink and green—chaotic, full of movement. Rana Begum’s artwork is a statement on the chaos of daily life. It is representative of the ways a thought or idea may look or seem different, depending on the ‘light’ in which one views it. A single day can feel both chaotic and calm. The front of each slat, painted in bright white, is representative of the repetition in everyday life, how it may all feel the same from one day to the next, and the colors…

Often containing didactic messages intended to persuade audiences into a certain set of behaviors or impress upon them a certain set of ideals, propaganda has been used by human culture and society for thousands of years. With the advent of the printing press in 1436 by a German goldsmith named Johaness Gutenberg, propaganda prints became more and more widespread and delivered with greater ease to the masses. The printing press became widely used throughout the modern world by the beginning of…

Introduction Designing and developing mood light in the aircraft was a sensation for many years the entire spectrum of technological innovations to fulfil passengers ever growing desire to increase comfort and create a harmony in every cabin. In contrast with the conventional cabin light, the mood light system was wonderfully smooth transition for the passenger’s enjoyment. The innovation allowed customers to relax and relish the lighting system that would adjust the illumination of the cabin…

Turrell’s composition of light compliments the natural light and transforms the sky-space into a locale for experiencing beauty of natural world. Thomas De Monchaux says that it is a 118 foot-square earthwork with grassy bermed walls enclosing a near-cubical bench-lined atrium, 28 foot-square. The sky-space portrays how simply a change in the colour of light can cause human perception to change; thus, it can deceive them. The Twilight Epiphany…
