Summary Of Into The Wild Chapter 6
1. "Those are odd sounds coming from Junior's room," observed Dad, laying aside the evening paper.

2. "One!" We heard Junior say firmly.

3. "Yeow," squalled Hey Bag, our cat.

4. "Two," snapped Junior.

5. "Yeow! Yeow," squawked the cat.

6. "What on earth can be going on in there with junior counting and the cat yelling, "Yeow," Mother asked as she and dad eased toward the door of Junior's Room.

3. "Faraday's important discovery," continued Mr. McCall, "is described in yesterday's assignment."

4. I then remembered the chapter entitled Science is Applied to Industry and Agriculture.

5. Was it Michael Faraday who wrote I have at last succeeded in magnetizing and electrifying a ray of light.

6. When I said that Faraday turned magnetism into electricity,' Mr. McCall exclaimed, "Good for you

    The instrument used by Hertz incorporated an induction coil to produce an extremely high voltage. This was connected to a circuit with a very small opening, with small copper balls on each end. Capacitor plates were used to adjust the capacity of the circuit for resonance. A ring of copper wire with a small gap, also edged with spark balls placed at varying distances, up to a few hundred metres away. When the power was turned on, small sparks were produced in the opening. This proved Maxwells theory about electromagnetic wave propagation. Hertz also unknowingly demonstrated the photoelectric effect during his experiments.…
