Wave

infrared, visible, and X-rays waves for experimentation on earth, will tell us discern the temperature and help us see through thick clouds of dust and particles on the dwarf planet, Pluto. Pluto gives off many different types of radiations. One is infrared light waves. These waves are emitted by cool clouds of dust, and many planets, including Pluto…

When Claude Debussy composed his piece, La Mer (Movement II, Play of the Waves) between 1903 and 1905, he found inspiration in Katsushika Hokusai’s artwork, The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Because the song is based off of artwork, one with expect for it to be programmatic, and it meets those expectations. The title, La Mer, is customary for absolute music because it is telling of the idea that will be produced in the music. The music then follows through with the title by audibly depicting the sea…

technique involves using high frequency sound waves and their echoes. The machine transmits high-frequency sound pulses into the patient’s body using a probe. In the image, the technician presses and moves the probe along the patient’s body. This photo was taken in the St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and obtained from *. In terms of physics concepts, medical ultrasound techniques involve waves, it is important to understand the nature of a wave. A wave is a traveling disturbance that carries…

that the sun is just rising and the sand has not had a chance to warm up. The beach is empty except for other surfers hoping to catch some good waves. Watching the waves crash, I can’t wait to get out. The refreshing water wakes me up as I paddle out. The early morning sun is blinding me while I look for waves. As my eyes adjust to the light, I see a wave in the corner of my eye. I…

the magnetics properties of the nucleus. 2. Sound waves are longitudinal waves and they produce alternately states of compression and rare fraction at a point in a medium. Therefore when two sound waves of equal frequency travel simultaneously in a medium in the same direction then at some idea both waves produce compression that is they meet in the same place. At these points the amplitude is equal to the sum of the amplitudes for the two waves and the intensity of the sound is maximum. On…

happens when the rock underground breaks suddenly. When the stress finally builds up, it releases, sending seismic waves which are also known as vibrations. The vibrations are responsible for making the ground shake. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs. Earthquakes are all normal geographical behaviors of the earth. Earthquakes produce three types of seismic waves: primary waves,…

through the use of auditory brainstem response (ABR) procedures is less commonly researched. A previous study attempted to examine the effects of aging on the central auditory nervous system through the use of ABR wave V latencies, but the results were inconsistent due to the absence of wave I latencies. Through the use of high intensity click stimulation rates, the current study analyzed…

massive sea waves that are spawned from earthquakes generated underneath the ocean at tectonic plate boundaries. Although earthquakes are known to be the main cause of tsunamis, these enormous waves can occur due to occurrences such as rapid changes in the atmospheric pressure or volcanic eruptions. These waves are formed in a series, sometimes referred to as a “wave train.” There is never just one wave when a tsunami occurs. Typically, the first wave of a tsunami is not the strongest; waves…

opposes the harmful chemicals is the use electromagnetic waves to repel small rodents. These electromagnetic devices claim to affect the nervous system of small rodents, which allows them to stay away from said area. A new solution is to combine ultrasonic waves with electromagnetic waves to repel pests, the ultrasonic waves will produce a frequency that cannot be heard by humans, but bugs will hear as a warning. The electromagnetic waves will be used to affect the nervous system of the bugs,…

Sidebar: The largest tsunami wave ever recorded happened in 1958. An earthquake triggered a massive rockslide on the shore of Lituya Bay in southeast Alaska. Almost forty million tons of rocks splashed into bay. The sudden impact generated a tsunami that crashed against the other shoreline, flooding the area. The local tsunami traveled down the length of the bay and into the Gulf of Alaska, taking millions of trees as it blasted through the water. The wave reached a run-up height of 1,720 feet.…
