Download or read book Light Dark and the Electromagnetic Spectrum written by Scott Benjamin Gracie and published by Tellwell Talent. This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the dawn of time, electromagnetic energy has permeated through the universe, surrounding and interacting with everything it touches, illuminating, destroying and giving life. The colourful section of the electromagnetic spectrum we see in the form of visible light, rainbows and other phenomena is tiny when compared to its vast entirety. Using many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum have become common everyday occurrence for the majority of people on Earth, as it's been integrated into our lives in ways that we don't even think twice about it. This book illuminates many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and its effects, the endless ways we have harnessed its energy, and how we interact and live with its influence. (less)

Book excerpt: From sound waves to gravitational waves, and from waves of light to crashing rollers on the ocean, Mike Goldsmith explores the fundamental features shared by all waves in the natural world, and considers the range of phenomena resulting from wave motion, including reflection, diffraction, and polarization in light, and beats and echoes in sound.
Download or read book Tour of the Electromagnetic Spectrum written by Ginger Butcher and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Every day, electromagnetic waves surround us. We use these waves, but we can see only a small portion of them. They carry our cellphone calls and radio broadcasts, heat our food, and let us see in the dark. This resource presents the electromagnetic spectrum by introducing how we interact with these waves on a daily basis and how NASA scientists use the unique qualities of each wavelength to study the sun, planets and origins of the universe. EM waves measured by Earth-observing satellites help NASA scientists understand our Earth system and changing global patterns and climate. These materials are designed as supplemental instruction and can be used in formal classroom or informal settings for students in grades 5-12, undergraduates, or adults."--Publisher's description
Download or read book Aether Light written by Randy Holmes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only one man knows in the entire world. 1. Where did we come from? 2. What is gravity? 3. What is matter? 4. What is dark matter? 5. What is dark energy? 6. What is aether? 7. What is light? After reading his book and finding out the true secrets of the universe, many are forced to wonder if this is, indeed, the greatest discovery of our time. It is a fact that sound waves (mechanical waves) require a material or medium for its propagation such as gas, solids, and liquids. The theory is that all waves need a medium to propagate through empty space, as does electromagnetic waves. As far back as 1678, scientists like Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Nikola Tesla, and the scientific community all believed that light needed a medium to propagate through empty space. Since Einsteins special relativity theory in 1905, the modern scientific community recognizes the vacuum for the propagation of light through empty space, and not aether. Randy Lee Holmes has discovered visual proof and illustrations by more than two hundred photos and forty-six videos of the aether of nature and the universe. All photos and videos show the electromagnetic radiation blueprint of the aether that serves as a medium for all light and electromagnetic waves in nature, the universe, and beyond. The book is guaranteed to answer the seven questions that everyone wants to know. You will not only understand what you read, but you will see the world and the universe come together as one big puzzle. After reading the historical and nonfiction book Aether-Light, you will learn that all living and nonliving things are connected and made of light. Yes, people are made of light. In the beginning, God said, Let there be light.

Download or read book Patterns of Light written by Steven Beeson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-10-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any student or engineer working in optics or the field of laser technology will find this a fascinating read. The book begins by addressing the properties of light as seen in the everyday world: events such as refraction in a pool, lenses in the form of glasses, the colors of objects, and atmospheric events. Latter chapters explain these events at the atomic and subatomic level and address the use of electron and optical microscopy in observing the worlds unseen by the unaided eye. Exercises and activities will be found in an appendix, but the primary volume can stand alone if the reader so desires.
Download or read book First Light written by Emma Chapman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astronomers have successfully observed a great deal of the Universe's history, from recording the afterglow of the Big Bang to imaging thousands of galaxies, and even to visualising an actual black hole. There's a lot for astronomers to be smug about. But when it comes to understanding how the Universe began and grew up we are literally in the dark ages. In effect, we are missing the first one billion years from the timeline of the Universe. This brief but far-reaching period in the Universe's history, known to astrophysicists as the 'Epoch of Reionisation', represents the start of the cosmos as we experience it today. The time when the very first stars burst into life, when darkness gave way to light. After hundreds of millions of years of dark, uneventful expansion, one by the one these stars suddenly came into being. This was the point at which the chaos of the Big Bang first began to yield to the order of galaxies, black holes and stars, kick-starting the pathway to planets, to comets, to moons, and to life itself. Incorporating the very latest research into this branch of astrophysics, this book sheds light on this time of darkness, telling the story of these first stars, hundreds of times the size of the Sun and a million times brighter, lonely giants that lived fast and died young in powerful explosions that seeded the Universe with the heavy elements that we are made of. Emma Chapman tells us how these stars formed, why they were so unusual, and what they can teach us about the Universe today. She also offers a first-hand look at the immense telescopes about to come on line to peer into the past, searching for the echoes and footprints of these stars, to take this period in the Universe's history from the realm of theoretical physics towards the wonder of observational astronomy.
Download or read book Zapped written by Bob Berman and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much do you know about the radiation all around you? Your electronic devices swarm with it; the sun bathes you in it. It's zooming at you from cell towers, microwave ovens, CT scans, mammogram machines, nuclear power plants, deep space, even the walls of your basement. You cannot see, hear, smell or feel it, but there is never a single second when it is not flying through your body. Too much of it will kill you, but without it you wouldn't live a year. From beloved popular science writer Bob Berman, Zapped tells the story of all the light we cannot see, tracing infrared, microwaves, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves and other forms of radiation from their historic, world-altering discoveries in the 19th century to their central role in our modern way of life, setting the record straight on health costs (and benefits) and exploring the consequences of our newest technologies. Lively, informative, and packed with fun facts and "eureka moments," Zapped will delight anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of our world.
