reflection from the ionosphere. Sky waves: a radio wave that is reflected back to earth by the ionosphere or a communications satellite; permits transmission around the curve of the earth’s surface Line of propagation: is the electro-magnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation. Electromagnetic transmission light travels in a straight line. The rays or waves can be diffracted‚ refracted‚ reflected‚ or absorbed by atmosphere and obstructions with material and generally cannot travel over the

Theoretical Physicist Adam Brown writes about the possibility‚ or as it turns out‚ the impossibility to mine energy from black holes. It is common knowledge that the Earth’s resources are being burned through at an alarming rate. This issue has lead to many people seeking other sources of energy. However‚ the article poses the question‚ what happens after humanity find the new form of energy and exhaust that? Some propose should the descendants of the human race seek help from the stars. Ironically

are located remotely apart and the electromagnetic radiation serves as a link between the sensor and the object‚ the sun being the major source of energy illuminating the earth. The part of this energy is reflected‚ absorbed and transmitted by the surface. A sensor records the reflected energy. Remote Sensing is performed using an instrument‚ often referred to as a sensor. Most of the remote sensing instruments record electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that travels at a velocity of 3x10^8 m/s from

A good example of black body radiation is the heat inside a stove‚ electromagnetic radiation light and heat exist in a form of standing waves‚ waves like the vibration of a guitar string is attached in both ends. The ends of the standing waves do not move‚ the are attached to the side of the stove‚ and many waves

Visible light (commonly referred to simply as light) is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye‚ and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light is usually defined as having a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometres (nm)‚ or 400×10−9 m‚ to 700 nanometres – between the infrared‚ with longer wavelengths and the ultraviolet‚ with shorter wavelengths. These numbers do not represent the absolute limits of human vision‚ but the approximate range within which most people can

of water and salts essential for normal body function‚ the free dictionary (2012). Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluid then it takes in. This is very dangerous to the body. Dehydration cans results from a hot‚ dry climate; prolonged exposure to sun or high temperatures; not drinking enough or other medications that increase urination. Dehydration can upset the delicate fluid-salt balance needed to maintain healthy cells and tissues. According to free dictionary (2012)‚ Sub Heading

Introduction Hello‚ I will be discussing Leukaemia Cancer. I will be covering what leukaemia is‚ who is being affected by leukaemia and how is it affecting them‚ what health professionals are involved and what is currently being done about Leukaemia. What is Leukaemia? Leukaemia is a blood cell cancer‚ abnormal blood cells are made in the bone-marrow. Leukaemia involves the manufacture of abnormal white blood cells. The leukaemia cells continue to grow and multiply swarming the normal blood cells

an extremely broad range‚ from radio waves with wavelengths of a meter or more‚ down to x-rays with wavelengths of less than a billionth of a meter. Optical radiation lies between radio waves and x-rays on the spectrum‚ exhibiting a unique mix of ray‚ wave‚ and quantum properties. At x-ray and shorter wavelengths‚ electromagnetic radiation tends to be quite particle like in its behavior‚ whereas toward the long wavelength end of the spectrum the behavior is mostly wavelike. The visible portion

LABORATORY ACTIVITY FLAME TEST Summary The purpose of this lab was to see how different compounds can change color while in a flame and with this color‚ I can identify the compound. The test involve putting sample element and see what color appears. Also Thermal excited electron goes from low to high energy level which raises the color but when the excitation ends electron gets to lower level which makes the color back to normal. In order to determine the identity of several unknowns‚ I will
