Electromagnetism, Light, Atoms, and Other Stuff You Don't Know About

ELECTROMAGNETISM, LIGHT, ATOMS, AND OTHER STUFF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT

......................................en.wikipedia.org/wiki/atom

Electromagnetism is something I have never been able to understand. I find it difficult listen to due the large vocabulary and the amount of times this new vocabulary is used. Due to my little knowledge of this subject, this paragraph will be slow so you (and I) can understand it. Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental interactions in nature. This force is understood and recognized through magnetic fields. On a smaller scale, electromagnetism is responsible for the force between small charged particles. Oscillating energy, like the ones in 3D movies, are also in existence thanks to electromagnetism. On a larger scale, electromagnetism is the creator of magnetic fields due to the movement of electric charges. Electromagnetism is synonymous with light. Unlike the light we usually refer it indicates all the spectrums. In an atom, a photon can knock a negatively charged particle (neutron) off course. It is excited and is now not in the first orbit (the particle can not be in between orbits). Whether it be immediately or in a hundred years, the particle will move back giving off light. Depending on how far away it is, the particle will give off a shade of light (red if closest and other particles farther out). To be a laser (a form of light) all the light must be coherent (synchronized), otherwise, even with a color filter, it would be a flash light.

Waves in All Forms

WAVES IN ALL FORMS

....................................Taken from ToneTester

The joys of being able to hear are unimaginable. Honestly, how would you explain the happiness that comes from sound to a deaf person. When appreciating sound, it is hard to get caught up behind the science behind it, but their is a science behind it and recognizing it is almost as interesting as science itself. When measuring sound, you can do it two ways. You can measure it by height (or wavelength), usually situated on an y-axis, or by speed (how quickly it moves) situated on the x-axis. When put onto a graph, the result is a usually wavy pattern that reminds me of the McDonalds golden arches. Many things are measured using waves including vibrations, sound, and light. A teacher of mind connected waves to actual waves. He said that like waves they can be tall or clumped close together. Some apps that show good examples of waves are the apple app ToneTester and SeisMac. Also check the link below for more cool "wavy" applets.

The Kuiper Belt (Not the Belt You're Thinking of)

THE KUIPER BELT (NOT THE BELT YOU'RE THINKING OF)

...............................htwins.net/scale2/

The Kuiper belt is a large ring of ice and rocks on the edge of our solar system. It is the home to many famous astronomical objects including Pluto, it's moon and hundreds of dwarf planets. I personally feel that the Kuiper belt is often forgotten due to it's smaller brother, the asteroid belt, whom its greatly larger than. Due to its size and contents many of the dwarf planets in our solar system originated in the Kuiper belt. Unfortunately, these planets are either to small or to irregular to actually be called true planets. Some Kuiper belt astronomical bodies could have been large enough to be called true planets, but the constant barrage of large hostile bodies (the size of pluto) hit them destroying large layers of their surface. According to current planetary definitions based on size and the clearness of the orbit, these dwarf planets do not count as the real thing. -- The Brain
