in 1651‚ which in no way affected his writings and in his sonnet‚ "When I consider how my light is spent"‚ and “How Soon Hath Time”‚ the poet refers to his blindness and the use of time. From the death of his infant son‚ to the death of his wife‚ down to Milton becoming blind‚ surprisingly‚ he had yet to let these obstacles stop him from being the amazing writer/Poet we was. “When I considered how my light is spent”‚ is a sonnet referring to his blindness and his secret obsession with time.

Huygens’ Principle‚ Interference and Diffraction Huygens’ Principle In 1678‚ a Dutch physicist‚ Christian Huygens‚ studied wave behavior and proposed that the wavefronts of light waves spreading out from a point source can be regarded as the overlapped crests of tiny secondary waves – that wavefronts are made up of tinier wavefronts. Wavefronts are an array of identical waves that have the same source and travels through a homogeneous medium‚ thus their corresponding crests and troughs are in the

It is common for artists to utilize light and dark to symbolize goodness and evil. The use of light is very powerful and sometimes helps the audience to determine whether a certain aspect of the artwork is pure or tainted. “A Night Cafe” by Van Gogh includes a unique interaction between light and darkness to show the mysterious qualities about people. This concept can similarly be used in written works so that the setting reflects the characters. “A Streetcar Named Desire” by Tennessee Williams highlights

called the spectrum; the plural being spectra. As light passes through a prism‚ the frequencies of light emitted by an element separate into separate lines to give the atomic emission spectrum of the element. There are two spectrums in the lab: the incandescent and fluorescent. An incandescent light is a white light emitting light as a result of being heated. Fluorescent light is a black light‚ and emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is a form

psychological states Human perceptual system excels at detecting changes in stimulation rather than the simple onset or offset of stimulation Just noticeable difference (JND)- The minimal change in a stimulus that can just barely be detected If a light is bright‚ it will take a much larger increment to detect the difference and make the JND larger JND can be calculated for each sense It is roughly proportional to the magnitude of the standard stimulus Weber’s law- The just noticeable difference

with a Care Bears print on‚ I rushed outside our apartment to join other kids light some fireworks. People everywhere on our neighborhood were lighting their own fireworks and firecrackers. The sky that was usually dark was now filled with different colors of light – yellow‚ red‚ green‚ blue‚ white‚ and pink that started out small then became this huge star! Children around me had hand-held fireworks that emit small light while the adults had the longer and bigger version. It was noisy. Everyone

flare‚ a visual mistake in photographs caused by external light‚ is a very interesting example of atmospheric optics. While hated at first amongst photographers and cinematographers‚ lens flare is‚ nowadays‚ a must-have in photography and films. Starting with Citizen Kane in 1941‚ lens flare was first used intentionally in film. Lens flare is a result of particulate matter (matter that changes state within the atmosphere) interacting with light and‚ additionally‚ getting itself trapped inside a lens

For the unknown light source‚ it had almost every color‚ so it might have been be mercury because they have similar color beams and their color from the naked eye appeared as purple‚ which mercury‚ a light blue‚ is very close to in terms of it’s color on the spectrum. For the unknown flame crystals‚ it may NH4+ because the colors that appeared are very similar to the crystals. Next‚ chemicals have to be heated in the flame for the color to emit because heat adds energy to the substance making the

Introduction Light exhibits both the properties of a wave and a particle. Its wave-like properties are best shown in its propagation while the particle-like properties in the emission and absorption of light.[1] As light behaves like a wave‚ superposition is observed between interacting waves. Superposition of waves is the addition of waves that travel across the same medium. The resulting wave from this addition has amplitude at a particular point that is the algebraic sum of the amplitudes of
