Speed of light

Harnessing My Amygdala Infuriated, outraged, furious, we have all felt these emotions before. Beginning with small situations like hitting every red light when your running late to work, to more complex of conditions like getting your brand new car’s rear fender smashed in by a moron who has his life in reverse and still doesn’t look in the mirror. Ironically, both of those examples are memories that I 've experienced. I myself experience anger on a daily basis. Some say I have a short temper.…

Stop signs are important because they prevent drivers from going too fast in the residential areas. Always slow down when the light turns yellow, rather than speeding up. Furthermore, in the rainy weather always follow road slippery signs because they prevent skidding. In addition, anytime you come to a place where people may cross or enter your path or one line of traffic meets…

When the northern lights come out, it sometimes appears as if the sky is on fire. There is an eerie connection between the Sun and our planet’s atmosphere that can sometimes cause the sky to unexpectedly glow with shades of red, yellow, purple and green; an atmospheric phenomenon called the northern lights or Aurora Borealis. The Sun is constantly spraying the solar system with millions of tons of charged particles each minute. The stream of charged particles from the Sun, or solar wind,…

The first photographer I have chosen is Ansel Adams. His photographes, were known as the first photo taken in 1927. He created a portfolio called “Parmelian Prints of High Siera”. This portfolio is well known in the photography industrie. In 1930, Adam dedicated his life to photography and became the owner of a studio that Virginia’s father owned. In that decade, Adam had many photographs shown at the Smithsonian Imstitute (1931). Later, he opened his own gallery and published “Making a…

something else. After coming home after school, I was really excited to take pictures. I wanted to practice to take pictures with my knowledge. Outside was sunny, it contains good amounts of light. I always set the aperture first, because I can decide if I want the background to be blurry or not. Than I set the shutter speed and check it in the live view monitor by pressing the shutter-release button halfway down. On the live…

In order to find the answer to this question, it must be broken down. What are photons? How does gravity affect light? What is a black hole? A photon is typically seen as a particle or wave representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass. Photons are currently best explained by quantum mechanics. However, it is important to know that photons have both the qualities of waves and particles…

Distracted Driving Today’s drivers have developed bad habits that can cause accidents or even fatal crashes. The road is shared by all different types of drivers including senior citizens and young people, foreign drivers and drivers with no licenses. All these people have different skills, behaviors and moods. In fact, many young drivers do not care about other people on the road and do not realize the real danger of their bad habits. For example, cars are switching from one lane to the other…

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…

I. Science Fair Question What is the speed of light in gelatin? II. Background Research Did you ever wonder how the speed of light is measured? This paper will discuss how the speed of light is measured. The terms that will discussed in this paper are the law of refraction, trajectory, Snell’s Law, and the index of refraction. Snell’s Law gives the relationship between angles of incidence and refraction for a wave impinging on an interface between two media with…

Development of Word Recognition Sight Word Inventory To get a better understand of Franklin’s reading level, I administered the ____ Sight Word Inventory (______). This test consists of sight words, or words students can recognize immediately, appropriate for each grade level. Thus, as you continue through the words, they become increasingly difficult. Franklin’s instructional level is at the third-grade level. At his level, he was able sound out the beginning consonant, “r,” for the word…
