Speed of light

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…

anything was visible, except for a flickering light in the distance. As I kept pacing towards the light, my view became more clear, there was a chair. A little wooden rocking chair. If only I knew what sat on it would be the last thing I’d ever see.…

However, sometimes a light will rarely stop instantly. I watch as a motor vehicle slides in the rain into a pole. An audible crunch is produced and the lights stop dead in their tracks. The three shadows stand from the couch to inspect the outdoors and then soon walk out the door. From my simple shelf I watch as they walk to the car and remove a person from the frozen car. Sirens begin to blare and flashing lights replace darkness. The driver is moved into a different…

burned within the clouded dusts bringing the nebula together and as time passes, it would eventually be converted into helium gas thus releasing energy that heats the star and the resulting outward pressure balanced the inward pull of gravity. The speed at which the collapse happen, the life span of a star, and its death are determined by the star’s mass.…

Just like before with incredible speed we left the moon and approached another heavenly body. The next planate or circle that I saw as during the ascent appeared to be Mercury which due to its extreme heat as Beatrice explained in her motherly voice is reserved for the Ambitious, which aspire fame and light. We landed on the surface of the body and it was hotter then anything that I had experienced back home. During my tour here I meet many great men but the one that hit closest to home was…

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…

characteristic of visible light that has important applications in a variety of fields such as lighting, photography, videography, astrophysics, manufacturing and publishing. In generally the hues of light generated are either warm (yellowish) or cool (bluish) and measured in degrees of Kelvin (K) 2.5.1. Technical Definition The color temperature of a light source is defined as the color temperature of a black body radiator that radiates light of comparable hue to that of the light…

cabin, near Grand Rapids, with all my cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, grandparents, and parents. All in all, there were 16 of us. Traditionally we would enjoy fireworks sitting by the fire pit where there is level ground, a relatively safe place to light fireworks off. But, this year we decided to hold our show 20 feet in front of our cabin so the parents could gape from inside, safe from the infamous red dots. The kids and two brave adults suited up with bug spray and an excess of clothing…

Experiment #6: Polarimetry Resolution of (∓)-Racemate: (∓)-ɑ-Phenylethylamine OBJECTIVE All chiral molecules have a mirror image of themselves. While they have the same physical properties, they interact with other chiral molecules completely different. Since there are many chiral molecules in organics, this can lead to the need to make optically pure products. If the chemist does not, it can lead to many problems including death. In this experiment, the separation of two enantiomers was…

Ebony was in the grassy green field, dancing in the dusk afternoon. Her warm smile and light hair matched the bright, sinking sun that was watching her. The autumn leaves were being carried away by the gentle breeze flowing through the air. The pumpkins in the field were showing off their beautiful orange skin. To Ebony, this autumn day was perfect. She kept on dancing to her heart’s content. That is until she stopped when she could not see herself anymore. Was I really dancin’ for that long?…
