Physics notes – Interactions of light and matter Young was able to explain this result as a wave-interference phenomenon – the double-slit interference pattern demonstrates the wave-like nature of light. Free download and print from www.itute.com ©Copyright 2009 itute.com Explaining the interference pattern using the wave model Light has been described both as a particle and as a wave. Isaac Newton (~1665) made up a particle model of light to explain many of the known behaviours

Johannes Kepler Born on December 27‚ 1571 in Weil der Stadt‚ Wurttemberg‚ Germany‚ Johannes Kepler was the son of a mercenary who helped put down a protestant uprising in the Low Countries. His mother was the daughter of an innkeeper (Kepler Biography). Although he was a sickly child‚ he proved excellent in his academics (Encyclopedia of World Biography). At the age of five Kepler took the

Have you ever seen how beautiful a lava lamp can be with all of the different colors it can have? I’ve always wondered what kind of material a lava lamp contains inside to get its color and what those floating blobs is made out of! Since I was a young kid‚ I’ve always had a lava lamp in my room just because it is amazing to look at. In this journal‚ I will explore exactly what is inside of a lava lamp that makes people like me attracted to it. Did you know the real name of the lava lamp is called

All three of these sources have a lot of interesting facts‚ experiments‚ and tips about energy and how to save it. In the Energy Story‚ the author talks about how we use energy and how many things require energy and use a lot of it.They also talk about where it was first discovered‚ where it comes from‚ and how it works. The next story Short Circuit tells us how to do an experiment and explains what causes it and what is happening. The final story Conducting Solutions talks to us about ions and and

The Nominee In this assignment‚ I am tasked with nominating a 20th-century figure whose work or artistic contributions can be classified in both the Age of Modernism and the Age of Pluralism for the 20th Century Genius Award. My nominated figure stands out in my mind as a genius of Western culture in many ways. I have nominated the one and only Albert Einstein. This nomination may seem cliché to some‚ but no one can deny the fact that his work in the world of science and theory is still very much

Of course‚ we live in an imperfect world and not all surfaces are smooth. When light strikes a rough surface‚ incoming light rays reflect at all sorts of angles because the surface is uneven. This scattering occurs in many of the objects we encounter every day. The surface of paper is a good example. You can see just how rough it is if you peer at it under a microscope. When light hits paper‚ the waves are reflected in all directions. This is what makes paper so incredibly useful -- you can read

ACCESS TO LIFE SCIENCES UNIT 2: ENERGY and WAVES (Level 3) written assignment This written assignment covers assessment criteria 5 and 6 The Photoelectric effect‚ and the Production of Light In 1887 Hertz discovered the photoelectric effect‚ where electrons were emitted from a zinc surface when illuminated with ultra-violet light. These electrons (called ‘photoelectrons’) were only emitted when the frequency of the ultra-violet light was above a certain value (called the ‘threshold frequency’)
