    the light we see as a rainbow. The light hits the raindrop and is dispersed or split like going through a prism. Then‚ the separated colors are reflected off the backside of the drop and then exit where they are refracted again‚ as the index of refraction index changes between water and air. Each raindrop contributes only one color to the rainbow that you see. In looking at a rainbow‚ you are seeing the collective picture made by millions of raindrops. (figure 1) figure 1. The raindrops that

    an analog signal is measured (sampled) per second Electromagnetic waves- a wave produced by the acceleration of an electric charge and propagated by the periodic variation of intensities of‚ usually‚ perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. Refraction- deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray or energy wave in passing obliquely from one medium (as air) into another (as glass) in which its velocity is different Medium- a substance regarded as the means of transmission of a force

    NT1310 Unit 7 Exercise 1 1. Crosstalk: A disturbance caused by electromagnetic interference‚ along a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal disrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can cause the signals to become confused and cross over each other 2. Waveguides: A circular‚ elliptical or rectangular metal tube or pipe through which electromagnetic waves are propagated in microwave and RF communications. The wave passing through the medium is forced to follow the path determined

    Reflection Experiment Background Information The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence will be equal to the angle of reflection. I.e. the angle that the light strikes the reflective surface at will be the same as the angle that it leaves it at. Aim To investigate the law of reflection and evaluate its accuracy. Hypothesis The law of reflection will be correct. Apparatus and Materials  Light Box  Mirror  Protractor  Blank Paper Safety This experiment is

The eight step is to shine the three different lasers through each clear glass cup and determine the refractive angles with the three different lasers.  The ninth and last step is to record (on a piece of paper) the three different angles of refraction with its corresponding laser wavelengths on a data

    bands of resistant and weak rock which when in contact with the discordant waves makes the soft rock erode much quicker to form bays. The Bay is made bigger by the spray from the waves also causes chemical weathering on the cliffs of the soft rock. Refraction of waves from the headland‚ these waves drift inwards towards the bay ‚ these waves have more of an effect on the weaker rock so it erodes rapidly. Headlands are formed when the soft rock has retreated to form a bay which leaves a headland sticking
