Quantum mechanics

Like any regular person, Danny hated colds. He used to get them all the time before the accident, at least six to eight times a year. Jazz suggested that it was probably a weakened immune system do to too much exposure from his parents' ectoplasmic experiments from a young age. Ironically, it was one of their experiments that ultimately strengthened his immune system from any kind of cold or common sickness. Or so he had thought. Apparently, while he was resistant to most human diseases, he…

Light is an electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by humans. Electromagnetic radiation happens in an extremely large range of wavelengths from gamma rays to radio waves. Within that spectrum the wavelengths visible to humans are few. Light is very difficult to define, in the sense that scientist have been arguing weather light is a particle or a wave. Many experiments have been done to proof weather light is a particle or a wave. The truth is that light sometimes acts as a wave and…

Rebecca McKenney Astronomy 101 Mrs. Alburg 25 March 2017 Chapter 2 Review Questions 1. For each of the following wavelength, state whether it is in the radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-Ray, or gamma portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and explain your answer.

The purpose of this spectroscopy experiment was to determine if the spectra matched the electronic transitions that occur in the hydrogen atom among several other atoms. We used the Bohr model of atomic structure to determine the orbit numbers that correspond with the spectrum emitted by the hydrogen atom. The Bohr model states that electrons will never be found in between states, but rather completely in one state or the other. We used this model to determine the initial n value at which the…

Frederic Clemson Howe once said, “War demands sacrifice of the people. It gives only suffering in return.” This explains the situations of Robert Ross, Werner Heisenberg, and Niels Bohr. They all sacrificed, which only lead to suffering for all of them. Although one is a coming of age novel about a WW1 soldier and the other is a play about an imaginary meeting of WWII scientists, both The Wars by Timothy Findley and Copenhagen by Michael Frayn explore the ways in which war affects individuals…

Eliot explores a myriad of interpretations of the meaning of logos in the Four Quartets through Einstein’s theory of Relativity, by examining it through the bending of space and time, ultimately using this lens to arrive at the conclusion of the Incarnation. This curvature of spacetime opened the doors to the reality of a new method of understanding the world: non-Euclidean Geometry. Non-Euclidean Geometry differs from several key postulates of traditional Euclidean Geometry. These reworked…

Discussion – Tayla Dorrington Introduction There are 2 major theories about the universe and how it began. These are the steady state and The Big Bang theory. Both theories have an explanation on how our Universe is, how it began and how it works. Both theories have stuff in common but also have many differences that could completely change the way we look at the Universe. The Big Bang Theory has much more evidence supporting it, while the Steady State Theory has been proven wrong. Big Bang…

Interpretation of the NOESY: (Nuclear Overhauser Effect) spectrum of 1-(2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-yl)azepan-2-one (3a) is as follows. Strong coupling interaction of protons of 2nd and 4th position in 1-(2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-yl)azepan-2-one (3a), was not so strongly observed in COSY because it involves long range coupling i.e. protons attached between 2nd and 4th carbon atom. Hence, we studied NOESY to know the spacial interaction between these two protons. Thus, the…

Jean Jacques Rousseau was a Swiss born philosopher. His father was an educated watchmaker. His mother died at childbirth and his father was exiled from Geneva. He had a hard time living with his mother's family. At the age of 16, he fled Geneva and went to France. Paris was culturally very different from Geneva. He suffered from deep isolation and his life was very unstable. He was involved in many strange affairs with women. However, he met a woman named Mme de Warens who was 10 years older…

As we know most of the things we humans learn are by mainly active experimentation or passive observation. Imagination is also one way of learning. For example in physics the first structure of atom was first imagine by a scientist but then that keep on changing . What is active experimentation ? it is when you yourself do some thing new ,which is new to you. that is basically active experimentation. what is passive observation ? passive observation is when you see or observe something happening…
