    The Visible Light Spectrum “Mr. Petersuh-uh-uhn…. I need a white crayon for the white parts of the map!”, my daughter’s classmate whines as she peers into her box of mismatched Crayons. “Don’t worry about coloring those parts of the map. White isn’t a color anyways…”, replies her sixth grade teacher. Uh-oh. Big mistake! The entire class is now in for an impromptu lesson in the properties of light and the visible spectrum, courtesy of the child of a laser student. Added bonus: elevated egg-headed

    PART 1 The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of frequencies of possible electromagnetic radiation. The Spectrum ranges from 0 Hertz up to 2.4x1023 Hertz. The exact wavelength limits of the Spectrum are unknown however it is widely believed that the short wavelength limit is equal to the Planck Length (1.616x10-35m) and the long wavelength limit is the length of the Universe. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is an occurrence that takes the form of self-propagating waves produced by the motion

    The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic radiation can be radio waves that we use to listen to music, visible light that we use to see or microwaves that we use to cook food with. We deal with all of these types of radiations in our daily lives. RADIO WAVES: Radio waves are used exactly for what it says — radio. They are also the waves responsible for the signals cell phones and televisions receive. Objects in space, such as planets and comets

  • Electromagnetic Spectrum Essay

    2005 Words  | 5 Pages

    Spectrum refers to the electromagnetic spectrum, which is the range of frequencies through which electromagnetic radiation travels. Electromagnetic radiation is the energy that travels at the speed of light in waves as a stream of photon particles. This form of energy encompasses radio waves, microwaves, visible, nonvisible light, X–rays and gamma rays, and these classifications are based upon the frequency at which the energy travels (see figure 1). In order to refer to a specific portion, also

    Autism Spectrum Disorders Autism numbers are on the rise in the U.S and more and more cases of autism are being diagnosed each day. Many parents are unaware that they have a child with autism. Signs of autism are not easily detected so, parents who suspect that they may have a child with developmental delays or a child with autism would have a hard time distinguishing autism from other developmental problems. There are no specific causes or cures for autism but with today’s technology that just

    The autism spectrum is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. Children with autism show some social, language and communication problems. They exhibit various challenging behaviors such as having trouble switching from one activity to another, ignoring or refusing requests, engaging in self-stimulatory behaviors such as hand flicking, flapping and rocking, lack of interest in other people and difficulty in making friends (Cohen, & Volkmar, 1997). However, despite being faced

These regulators govern what frequency band companies can purchase to provide a wireless mobile service to customers. The term spread spectrum is used in data communications and is a technique in which the transmitted signal is distributed over a wide frequency band, much wider than the minimum bandwidth required to transfer the information. The signal distributing is accomplished by deploying

  • An Analysis of William T. Vollmann’s The Visible Spectrum

    1897 Words  | 4 Pages

    The task of interpreting William T. Vollmann’s works seems as monumental for the reader as writing the story oneself. The text of “The Visible Spectrum”, in fact, does not feature any extensively challenging vocabulary or particularly thwarting subject matter; yet it would seem that in all of its “objectivity” and “transparency”, there lies no obvious, dominant or intended interpretation. The narrative is ambiguous in its “message” to an infinite degree, and thus the reader must construct its “meaning”
