Hydroelectric power: The World’s Established Renewable Energy Resource For over a century‚ hydroelectric power has been used to generate electricity from falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Hydroelectric dams create height for the water to fall and provide storage. In general‚ the higher the dam‚ the more potential energy is available. Building up behind a high dam‚ water accumulates potential energy. The

“That’s one small step for man‚ one giant leap for mankind.” With these eleven words astronaut Neil Armstrong brought the greatest technological race on Earth to its end. But‚ he did so standing on the moon‚ giving America one of the most illustrious victories in its short and dense history. Leaving behind the Soviet Union‚ the United States literally rocketed past their competitor to claim supremacy in the Cold War (a silent war for power). However‚ both countries achieved success in advancing technology

Lab 5 The Diffraction Grating Chinua McDonald Objective: To measure the wavelength of light with a diffraction grating. Theory: The two types of diffraction gratings are the transmission and reflection gratings. They are made by ruling on a piece of glass or metal a number of evenly spaced lines with a fine diamond point. Diffraction phenomena can be analyzed in terms of Huygens’ principle‚ according to which every point on the wave front of a wave should be considered as a source
