Light

CHAPTER 1 Background of the Study A plant can only have 12 hours of sunlight or less and for some plants this is too much or too short. Light is the main source of plants for food production, and also for the growth of a plant. It is needed by a plant in order to […]

The fourth chapter “The Origin of Modern Astronomy” discusses the development of astronomy as scientific field. The author embraces the history from the very beginning, when humans showed curiosity about the lights in the sky, and comes up with modern innovations. From the very first stages of development astronomers tended to understand the movements of […]

Visual phenomena or what we normally call as ‘Optical Illusion’ involves visual deception. A wide range of optical illusions happen in our day to day lives, like seeing a rainbow after a rainy day or even while staring at clouds; In this phenomenon, the human brain tends to develop different pictures to interpret the shape, […]

For this Science assignment, I chose to find out if the color of light a plant receives, affects the plant growth. Light is electromagnetic radiation that comes in waves, the basic units of which are called photons. Plants use light to turn carbon dioxide into sugars necessary for growth, a process called photosynthesis. Sunlight is […]

When we look at the sky and see that it is blue or red what we are actually seeing is the sun’s light reflected (scattered) from tiny particles in the atmosphere (these can be dust particles, water molecules, CO2 and so forth). The angle that the light is being reflected depends on the light particles’ […]

Have you, ever wondered, or just thought for a second about what Mother Nature has provided us with? Including all her extraordinary, mind boggling wonders that are present on our very own planet Earth? Have you ever thought about where you would like to go to explore or just too purely indulge in what nature […]

At daybreak, the dawn-filled sky was a mixture of peach and magenta water colours. The sun bloomed on the distant horizon, with its golden-petalled rays bouncing off the surface of the sapphire water. The beach was silent. The only noise to be heard was the sound of the waves rising and falling with rhythmic ease. […]

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger’s thought experiment revolving around the mortality of a cat came about in a disagreement regarding light with Albert Einstein. The experiment Schrodinger came up with involved enclosing a cat into a box with a radioactive source and a flask of poison. When an internal detects radioactivity, the flask is shattered, releasing […]

LIGHT * Light is part of the electro-magnetic spectrum, the spectrum is the collection of all waves, which include noticeable light, Microwaves, radio waves (AM, FM, SW ), X-Rays, and Gamma Rays. * In the late 1600s, essential concerns were raised, asking if light is comprised of particles, or is it waves.? * Sir Isaac […]

Human beings are almost always positive about knowing where they are in their life. But, they may never exactly know for certain where they maybe going or what their life will lead to. Billy Collins, the author of numerous poems including Introduction to Poetry and Schoolsville shows the aspects of this theory throughout his works. […]
