The breaking of water stream under the light of total internal reflection of laser Jiho Yang Colegio Retamar Abstract In this paper‚ we report the circumstances that produce breaking of water stream. The usual way to visualize this is by using a strobe‚ as how they do in Science museums. Experimental methodology that we have used to investigate this topic is based on an experiment carried out by two scientists in 1850 that contributed to studies about total reflections. By using a laser

Salt Water Intrusion and Salination By: Ryan Tallman University of Phoenix 2009 In this modern world we are faced with many different issues. Sometimes we forget that the majority of our earth is covered in oceans and freshwater. Almost two thirds of the world’s population lives within 250 miles of an ocean coastline. One of the many issues we are facing in our waters is saltwater intrusion and salinization. Saltwater intrusion and salinization is defined as the increase of chloride ion concentrations

The Biological Structure of Water Water is a substance with the chemical formula H2O: one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom. Its structure enables it to carry out many important functions in the body. Water molecules are charged‚ with the oxygen atom being slightly negative and the hydrogen atoms being slightly positive. These opposite charges attract each other‚ forming hydrogen bonds. These are weak‚ long distance bonds that are very common and
