    beauty that seemed to be hidden until I experienced the ocean for myself. We were an hour into our trip when I started to hear the sound of laughing water. I looked out towards a big wave that dad and little brother battled through. My heart jumped at the sight of the wave, rolling in towards me. I heard the hissing of waves inching closer to my kayak. I looked towards the side of my kayak, leaning myself far over the side. My kayak tipped over into the ocean (Crossing the first threshold).The cold water

    the motion of a piece. As a cellist for over six years, I wanted to understand the fundamental idea of why notes were audible. I asked myself, why do I press down on certain parts of the strings on a cello to produce certain notes? How are sound waves calculated? With these two questions in mind, I dove in with the desire to apply a different perspective of music. Diagram 1 One of the earliest discoveries of how string function comes from the Greek philosopher, Pythagoras. The wavelength and

INTRODUCTION Power system make sure good quality of electrical power supply which means voltage and current wave form should be balance and sinusoidal. Moreover, the voltage level on the system should be within dependable limit, generally within 100+ -5% of their rated value if the voltage is more or less than this pre-specified value, performance of equipments

    Cloaking Soumay Gupta1 and Tanvi Sharma1 14116067 14116070 1 E&C Department, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee Abstract Metamaterials have been a subject of increasing interest due to their ability to manipulate the flow of EM waves. We analyse the mechanism by which metamaterials are able to exhibit this property which is exploited to develop the Harry Potter-esque invisibility cloaks. We briefly discuss the whole new branch of optics called “Transformation

    objects, such as animal and human hairs, to allow comparison between them. 1.2 Wave interactions 1.2.1 Diffraction: Diffraction is a physical phenomenon that occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or gap between obstacles. Depending on the wavelength of the wave and the size of the obstacle or gap waves bend and spread out. Waves tend to diffract more around objects or gaps of a similar size to their wavelength. How a wave will diffract when it meets an object can be modelled using Huygen’s construction

    Is light a wave or a particle? This is a question that has been debated for centuries and still is unproven to be only one or the other. This report is about explaining Young’s Double Slit Experiment, which tried to prove light as a wave, and the results of his experiment. This report is also to inform and explain the modern physics world, and it will accomplish this by explaining Young’s Double Slit Experiment to help understand a small part of the modern physics world. In the modern physics world

    widened as I somehow managed to spin around in the cool sand. I dug my toes underneath as the remaining sand covered the tip of my feet. I relaxed a little, it felt good to be home. The sound of my friend calling my name seemed to fade away as the waves roared over the shore, the low tide in activation. I stood there, waiting where the boardwalk met the sand. The breeze made a sound that comforted me, as it also sent a windy feel to it. I shivered.I tucked a loose strand of my salt-filled hair behind

    the amount of water. I decided upon my hypothesis for the reason that as water is added to the wine glass, it will result in a greater mass. This greater mass should result in the glass vibrating in larger and further apart waves. The larger and further apart the waves are, the lower the pitch of the sound, making the frequency proportional to the amount of water. Variables list: Independent variable- Amount of water (depth) and diameter. Dependent variables- Pitch/frequency Controlled variables

    The spectroscopy lab centralized on the properties of waves and they relate to the emission spectrum, however one must understand the Bohr model of the atom first. The Bohr model for the atom depicts a planetary like structure, with a positively charged nucleus in the center with small, negatively charged electrons rotating around in specific, fixed orbits at different distances from the nucleus. When an electron transitions from a higher orbital, where it is in its excited state, back down to a
