does a Lens Refract Light? Different Lenses refract light in different ways. First‚ we will look at a double convex lens. Several light rays will approach the convex lens in a parallel manner. After they approach the lens‚ each ray will refract towards the normal. The light is passing from an optical less dense medium (Air) into a more dense medium (such as plastic or glass) at this boundary. Since the light rays are passing the boundary from a less dense medium in which light travels fast (optically

Introduction Man has propagated plant material almost as long as he has cultivated the land to produce food. For a long time‚ plant material was propagated mainly by using the seeds of existing plants. Better methods were discovered over time‚ methods that allowed the farmer to retain the desirable qualities of the plant material‚ while eliminating some of the less desirable qualities. Through these methods‚ the farmer was also able to eliminate the variations between plants of the same cultivar and produce

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Abstract: This paper aims at presenting the concept of "Artificial Intelligence." It is the branch of Computer Science concerned with making computers behave like humans. It is the Science and Engineering of making intelligent machines‚ especially intelligent computer programs. It is the hot topic on many boards and software houses. The term was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This paper briefly describes how Artificial

Artificial satellites are those put into orbit by man. Equipment on a satellite is hardened to survive in the radiation and vacuum of space. Since there is no air in space and therefore no air resistance‚ satellites come in many shapes and sizes. Types of Satellites and their Uses We use satellites for different purposes and all satellites can be placed in one of the following categories: Communications Satellites Distribution of television and audio signals‚ and telephone connections via satellite

Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is playing an important role in today’s world and in the future. “Evidence of Artificial Intelligence folklore can be trace back to Egypt‚ but with the development of the electronic computer in 1941‚ the technology finally became available to create machine intelligence. Its short modern history‚ advancements in the field of AI have been slower than first estimated‚ progress continued to be made. From its birth 4 decades ago‚ there have been a variety

our nutrition experts claim that eating artificial sugars to satisfy our sugar addiction is part of a healthy diet. Replacing sugars in beverages‚ honey‚ etc.‚ can dramatically reduce the amount of calories that are consumed. Although this appears to be healthy for the consumer‚ health risks are involved with the artificial sweetener. Since two-thirds of Americans are obese‚ artificial sweeteners could be extremely beneficial. Artificial sweeteners do have their benefits. These sweeteners would
