2.4.3. Dispersion of Light The fact that the refractive index different for each wavelength of light produces an effect called dispersion. This can be seen by shining a beam of white light into a triangular prism of glass. White light entering a prism is refracted in the prism at different angles depending on the wavelength of light. The refractive index for the longer wavelengths (red) is lower than for the shorter wavelength (violet). This leads to a large angle of refraction for the longer…

Figure 1a. Size of nano curcumin. Image of curcumin nanoparticles taken with Transmission electron microscope (JOEL 2100F) showing particles having size distribution of 59.9 nm to 198 nm ( average size of 160 nm). Figure 1b. Bioavailability of nano curcumin. Mice were given I.P injections with curcumin/nanocurcumin (vehicle: PBS containing 10% ethanol) per mice at 100 mg/kg body weight and then bled at different time points via retro-orbital puncture and blood collected from each…

explosions, shouting and the impacts of feet hitting hot hard concrete. Then, a single gunshot, a flash of light, then nothing. Absolutely nothing, which is surprisingly difficult to visualize. Koaye Anderson then finds herself in a simple white land. There is no wildlife, no wind or water, and no sky. Even though there is no visible light source, light still makes it into her eyes. Before the flash of light, she was wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt, but now, she is wearing a long white…

First Snow by Leonid Afremov begins with a road lined with street lights on both sides. The road is very shiny looking as if it is iced over with the street lights reflecting back up into the night sky off of the road. On each side of the road there are vibrant colored trees with a layer of white covering the ground as if it was snowing. The leaves on the trees seem to meet in the middle of the road overtop of the street lights. Deeper into the painting, there are two people walking down the…

Alluding light and darkness throughout the novel, Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of The Scarlet Letter, gives light and dark an insidious meaning. In many important events Hawthorne writes details that seem insignificant, but are not because he creates a theme through them and makes the ideas of heaven and hell, truth and secrets,virtue and sin. Hawthorne writes a novel regarding sinners in the hands of an angry God. Meaning that any sinner will feel the wrath of God by the fear and pain that he…

Paul Bogard wrote an article about the ways in which the world has seen a severe decrease in darkness, as well as a severe increase in of artificial light, at night. He begins by telling the reader of the world of darkness he used to know. He goes over how darkness is beneficial, even necessary, to earth’s ecology. After going over the wats darkness is helpful, he explains the balance of bright day and dark night that the world has, until recently, always known, and how we’re disrupting that…

collecting sand over miles down the peninsula. He laughed. There was nothing to do in the night but watch the stars and ocean and laugh. So he stood on the edge of the pier, feeling the break of the water. His hair was dark, and it glistened in the lights. He was of average height, and gauntly featured. Another explosion of water spread before him, like a plain of crystal. He watched the violent swirls of the ocean, as they broke, as they collected and turned into tree-fungus-like shapes, and…

Lab 3: Technology Name: Section: General Physic Lab 3 Date: 10/03/2017 Purpose The goal of this experiment was to learn how to apply computerized instruments in physics. In addition, this experiment aimed at enhancing practice on how to use three equipment in the lab: the rotary motion sensor, high resolution force sensor, and motion sensor. Further, this experiment sought to clarify the circumstances under which the instruments fail to comply with expectations. Results/Data Part 1: The…

Oedipus Rex is a story of fate, fortune, lightness, darkness, and how our refusal to see the truth in life can hurt us greatly. It is important to see what every theme’s meaning is in this tale what story the director wishes to tell. In the story of the great ruler of Thebes, Oedipus has ordered his brother-in-law, Creon, to go to the house of Apollo to ask an oracle how to end the plague spreading throughout Thebes. Creon returns with the good news that the plague will leave Thebes once the…

As it is shown throughout past events, some people suffer through a type of evilness or loneliness in their life. The struggles that one goes through in these problems affect their daily life and affect how people react near him. In Hemingway’s A Clean, Well-Lighted Place a dark loneliness fills the void of man’s solitary existence, while in O’Brien’s 2006 film Isolation, physical remoteness allows for the entrance of a sinister shadowy evil, each demonstrating, in its own way, nature’s need to…
