    Nietkalieva Dinara IS113k Lab 1: Radio and Light Waves Virtual Lab 1) How is the radiating electric field (or electromagnetic signal) produced when radio stations broadcast? Include a description of what is producing the signal as well as the reasoning behind how this could produce a signal. We know that electromagnetic radiation is produced by accelerating charges. In the radio transmitter, electrons oscillate up and down and are thus accelerating. An electron will exert a force on another

    The military has many uses for electromagnetic waves. They use it in the kitchen all the way to the battlefields. They use radio waves for seeing the damage that space dust could make. They use microwave radiation for cooking. They use Infrared waves for looking for enemies. They also use visible light to send streams of data. Two more waves are X-Rays and gamma rays. X-Rays are used for looking through other objects. Gamma rays are used for explosives. Dust particles crash into the military’s

    The classical theory of Raman Effect was developed by G. Placzek in 1934. According to the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, electric and magnetic fields oscillating at a given frequency are able to give out electromagnetic radiation of the same frequency. Electromagnetic radiation theory can explain light scattering phenomena. When deriving the Raman Effect, it is generally easiest to start with the classical interpretation by considering a simple diatomic molecule as a mass on a

    Xrays I need to understand the detrimental danger involved in taking an x-ray. X-rays are just another form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays are very similar to microwaves, radio waves and infrared radiations but x-rays are far more active compared to these other radiations. They penetrate many materials to varying degrees. Electrons with high energy crash into the target to produce x-rays. X-rays are transmitted through a subject onto a photographic film. The x-rays are blocked by

    INTRODUCTION Radiation, flow of atomic and subatomic particles and of waves, such as those that characterize heat rays, light rays, and X rays. All matter is constantly bombarded with radiation of both types from cosmic and terrestrial sources. This article delineates the properties and behaviour of radiation and the matter with which it interacts and describes how energy is transferred from radiation to its surroundings. Considerable attention is devoted to the consequences of such an energy

    Styrofoam cup or a Soda Can. Our group picked the Styrofoam. So we covered the cup in aluminum inside and out. When combusting the chip we determined that the total energy captured increased. Secondly we have Electromagnetic Radiation. Basically the study of Electromagnetic Radiation is dealing with how much electrically charged particles come together with each other with Magnetic fields. EM

    Summative CER Final Document Electromagnetic Radiation can help us in various ways to learn about matter in the universe. It helps us by determining the location of matter in the universe, planets for example. The waves that bounce back at a certain time can determine the distance between you and the planet. NASA and other people have come up with many ways of finding matter in the universe. There is a lot of ways to find matter in the universe but this is the most popular. The type of wave it sends

    Electromagnetic radiation is good for us humans because it helps us in many ways. One example on why electromagnetic radiation is good for us is the uses it helps us with. Uses like medical x-rays, observing the internal structure of objects, airport security scanners, and killing cancer cells. As it states in Ck12, Electromagnetic Spectrum. Therefore, in our daily lives, we use many different radiation waves without even knowing. Electromagnetic radiation describes and ranges the wavelengths of
