Waves

There are three types of earthquake waves: 1. Primary waves: These are the waves that reach the surface of the earth first immediately after the energy is released in the earth’s crust. 2. Secondary waves: The waves reaching the surface after the primary waves are called secondary waves. 3. Surface waves: Primary and secondary waves affect the surface resulting in the generation of waves called surface waves. These waves are considered to be the most destructive waves. Volcanoes Plate…

demonstrates characteristic waves and spindles captured on electroencephalogram (EEG) readings that differ significantly from REM sleep5. 2.1.1 Stage 1 NREM Sleep During periods of wakefulness, a frequency of greater than 13 Hz can be read on an EEG output, which is frequently denoted as a beta wave. However, as an individual approaches sleep onset, a change in the EEG reading can be observed6. Stage 1, otherwise known as N1 sleep, follows a low voltage frequency wave pattern of 2 to 7 Hz,…

epicondylitis) and the cause of bone growth and immediate fracture after the acute stage, show that ESWT might not be the appropriate modality to treat those conditions. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy…

On a bright and sunny evening my mom, some of her friends, and I went to pine-trees. The beach was beautiful, the sun was shining, there were no clouds blocking the sun, there was a cool breeze, the water was blue, the waves were not too big but not too small, they were just right. My friend Tiana and I decided to go swimming, she took a tube and I took my body board without any finns. When we were out on the water it was going great. There was some big sets, but nothing to major. We kept going…

can be found within the three waves of feminism. These intersections are also connected to power in many ways, and where the power lies. It is important to analyze the three waves of feminism in an intersectional way because many people face oppressions that do not fit into just one single category, but multiple categories of oppression at the same time. In the first wave of feminism, which lasted from around…

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 sometimes as a particle. In the famous Young's double-slit experiment, a…

the beach. This prevents the full force of the waves hitting the beach and absorbs the majority of energy that, had the wall not been there hit the beach full on. Over time however, sand builds up of the lee side of the breakwater and the beach can grow seawards. To stop erosion the construction of a sea wall out of large stone or reinforced concrete. These blocks are placed on the landward side of the backshore zone and are designed to reflect wave energy back to sea. These sea walls…

forces like running water, wind, glaciers and waves. Erosion is a key factor in the formation of beaches because erosion moves sediment (sand) from one location to another. There are three major types of coastal erosion; hydraulic action, corrosion and corrosion. Hydraulic action is when waves crashing against a headland causes erosion. Waves enter cracks in the rock and air is compressed into the crack by the force of the water being pushed by the wave. As the air is compressed it acts to erode…

Isabella Discua 4/18/16 Period 2 . Influenza Catastrophe From 1918-1919, a deadly, contagious disease, known as the influenza pandemic was spreading at an incredibly fast rate worldwide. There are several names for the flu such as “Spanish Flu”, “Three-Day-Fever”, and “The Flu.” It was first recognized in Europe, the US, and parts of Asia before spreading worldwide. Many of the victims exposed to the disease were young and the adults were healthy. There were no effective medicine to cure or…

Describe the development of single dish radio telescopes and advantages of radio interferometers. Discuss major discoveries that were possible after detection of radio waves from space and how they changed our understanding of Universe. Astronomy is all about increasing our understandings about our Universe through observing objects like stars, galaxies and other bodies which exist outside Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomers make observations of these celestial phenomena by collecting…
