    invite to Google Wave one week ago, and have been playing with it off and on since then. It’s a fascinating platform, not quite what I expected, and it’s been really interesting to think about potential applications and uses of the platform. My initial impression upon logging in was that it was a typical Google app, visually very clean, colorful, and smooth. I had some idea of how things worked from watching their tech demo video, so I began to play around with creating and joining waves. For those

    Message in a Bottle Rolling waves gently brushed upon the sand and nipped softly at my toes. I gazed out into the oblivion of blue hue that lay before me. I stared hopefully at sun-filled sky, but I couldn’t help but wonder how I was going to get through the day. Honestly, I never thought in a million years that my daughter and I would be homeless. Oh, how I yearned for our house in the suburbs. A pain wrenched at my heart when I was once reminded again of my beloved husband, Peter. I missed him

  • Robert Frost's Use of Nature in Poetry

    2039 Words  | 5 Pages

    Robert Frost's Use of Nature in Poetry Robert Frost, an American poet of the late 19th century, used nature in many of his writings.

I will use "West-Running Brook" and "Once by the Pacific" to demonstrate Frost's use of nature in his writings. Robert Frost was born March 26, 1874 in San Francisco ("American Writers" 150). In 1885, the dying request of his father took Frost back

    Theory behind BrainWave Generator EEG and the brain's state EEG (Electroencephalography) technology is used to measure brain's electrical vibrations from the surface of the scalp. The resulting EEG pattern will contain frequency elements mainly below 30Hz. The frequencies are categorized into four states as follows: State Frequency range Amplitude State of mind Delta 0.5Hz - 4Hz high (up to 200uV) Deep sleep Theta 4Hz - 8Hz low (5uV - 20uV) Drowsiness (also first stage of sleep) Alpha 8Hz - 14Hz

  • AN EXPERIMENT TO FIND THE ACOUSTIC IMPEDANCE OF PARAFFIN AND WATER

    1905 Words  | 4 Pages

    between paraffin and water was calculated using the acoustic impedances of the liquid, then found by comparing the amplitudes of the transmitted and reflected waves. The values were 0.192±0.02 and 0.13±0.02, which are close enough to each other to validate that the acoustic impedances measured are quite accurate. introduction When a wave travelling through a material hits a boundary with another material it is affected by the boundary and some of it will be reflected back. How much is reflected

    The Importance of Birds in Virginia Woolf's The Waves To emphasize her viewpoint in The Waves, Woolf employs a distinctive style.  She interlocks the dramatic monologues of six characters at successive stages in their lives to tell her story; and prefaces each of the sections with a descriptive passage of sun and waves through a single day.  In these passages descriptions of the sun, the sea, the plants, and the birds make implicit comparisons with the characters' speeches.  The actions of the

    of mathematics.” As an avid musician, I chose to study the topic of how math applies to music, more specifically how sound waves are transmitted. My passion for music urged me to research the sounds that are made and how they are produced. Music is transmitted through sound waves, which are very similar to the sine waves studied in Trigonometry. The differences in the waves result in a different sounds that are transmitted. Vibrating objects travel through a medium (the material that the disturbance

That’s where the liquid levitation comes in, a machine that uses sound waves to make liquid solutions float. This way the liquid solutions don't touch any solid materials as the water evaporates, solidifying in the much desired amorphous drug, so it can be more efficient in helping. We can draw to a close that the effect of

  • AM vs FM Radio

    broadcasted with both microwaves and longer radio waves. These are transmitted in two ways: amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM). Amplitude radio is created by combining a sound wave from a microphone, tape, record, or CD with a "carrier" radio wave. This results in a wave that transmits voice or programming as its amplitude (intensity) increases and decreases. Frequency modulation conveys information, voice, and music on a radio wave is to slightly change, or modulate, the frequency

  • Essay On Harmonics

    621 Words  | 2 Pages

    1.2.6 HARMONIC DISTORTION Harmonics are sinusoidal component of periodic wave having an frequency that is an integral multiple of fundamental frequency. Now a day more use of power electronic switches and devices cause harmonics. Examples of harmonics producing loads are computers, adjustable speed drives, etc. Mitigation of harmonics can be done with the help of passive filters or active filters. Hybrid of active and passive filters also solves problems of harmonics. Figure 1.5 Distorted Current

Audio signals may be synthesized or can be originated at a transducer like in a microphone, loudspeakers, musical instruments, pickup convert an electrical audio signal in the form of sound. Digital representations of audio signals exist in number of formats. Audio signals may be characterized by parameters such as their

    a sound wave? A sound wave is produced by a mechanical vibration, such as a tuning fork. The vibrating object causes the surrounding medium, such as air, to vibrate as well.The wave travels through the medium to a detector, like your ear, and it is heard.As with any type of wave, a sound wave is also described by it's wavelength, amplitude, period, and frequency. WAVELENGTH is the distance from one point on the wave, to the next identical point, or the length of one part of the wave. AMPLITUDE

Change occurs in little explosions in which matter is created and destroyed, in which chance guides what happens …” before alluding to particles and waves as scientists use these terms to describe phenomena (41). The observation that “chance guides what happens” in this world helps the reader understand Einstein’s reservations about Bohr’s and Feynman’s explanations because, as most people know, Einstein

  • How Guitars Make Sound

    creates sound. Sound is a pressure wave which travel through the medium which is usually air. The medium then carries the pressure waves to the ear of a person or animal. For example, when a guitar string is plucked, the string starts vibrating violently creating a pressure wave which travels through the medium and to an ear were the sound is heard. The equation of a sound wave is speed= wavelength x frequency. A wavelength is the distance between crest of a wave. Frequency is the rate per second
