Fireworks Research Paper

Light can be produced in many different ways, including incandescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence (Gunderman 1). Incandescence is when heat makes an object release light, like the filament in a light bulb. Phosphorescence is when a material absorbs energy and then releases it slowly over time, like glow-in-the-dark toys. Fluorescence is when a material absorbs energy and releases it quickly as light (Gunderman 1). Fluorescence is the process used in glow sticks (Science Fair Projects 1). The fluorescent dye in this experiment’s glow sticks released yellow light. Different color glow sticks are made with different dyes (Harris 2).

the Fireworks by Grucci compound evokes a military test range of the desert West. A network of lonely gravel roads is studded with metal shipping containers, or "magazines," each containing the raw materials of fireworks displays, ringed by hulking berms to prevent a chain of accidental explosions. In nearby cinder-block buildings, specialists wearing static-free clothing are at work "packing programs," or assembling the sequences of color and sound that will embroider the night sky for some future audience.

When metals are burned during a flame test their spectrum colors are each unique to their element. To start off, each element during the flame test was burned under a Bunsen burner. Each element showed a special and specific color that was seen through a spectroscope. As shown in the table, lithium was burned and showed a red and orange color. When calcium was burned, it revealed a red, orange, and yellow color. Potassium burned a yellow and orange color, following copper that was burned a solid green color. Strontium was a red color, while sodium was an orange color when put under a flame. As one can see, each of the element had a different mix of colors that made that burned element so unique and remarkable. The reason why all of these elements

Solids and liquids glow at very high temperatures. To see these glow, you need to look at using a spectroscope. When you do look through the spectroscope, you see a band of colors that resembles a rainbow. The reason why this happens is because the atoms are packed closely together. In the early 1900’s, Niels Henrik David Bohr created an explanation why the lines of the spectrum are the way they are. Niels Bohr was a Danish born physicist who is world renowned for his works of quantum physics. Bohr proposed that electron that orbits the cloud of protons and neutrons has a set to have a certain energy. When the electron occupies the energy level of lowest energy, it is in its ground state. If an electron occupies a higher energy levels then

A giant piece of a recently launched Chinese rocket fell to Earth last night (July 27), blazing a spectacular sky trail that left observers across parts of the western United States slack-jawed.

“Do you ever feel like a plastic bag; drifting through the wind; wanting to start again.” This is a lyric from a song, “firework,” by Katy Perry. It is kind of like the emotion of the author of the poem, Pablo Neruda. A feeling of peace, but lost, also a feeling of calm but loneliness. The poem “The Sea,” by Pablo Neruda, describe a young man who feels a sense of “stubborn sorrow” and “gathering oblivion,” like a “plastic bag,” but by the structure, sound, and symbolism of the poem, Neruda gives the readers a message that by being near and observing the sea, the young man realizes he is part of the “pure movement” of the universe. The poem talks about a life of a young man, who feel lost and sad, changes significantly after he went to the sea.

ABSTRACT: For hydrogen, neon, helium, carbon dioxide, and mercury, a SpectroVis Plus was used to find the emission lines. The constant was found by plotting both the 1/ ƛ and 1/ n 2 and finding the slope of hydrogen. 10972566.5 ± -1.1x10 -5 m-1 was found compared to the known value of 10967758.34 m-1. The changes in values could be due to the slight changes made when the data was recorded. The visible spectra of green, red, yellow, and blue food coloring dyes were also measured using a spectrometer. The spectrometer verified that green dye is a mixture of blue and yellow due to the comparison of data.

The federal law recognizes that tribes have inherent right to sale and distribute Class C fireworks. The sale of fireworks in tribal communities boosts the economy for the tribe and surrounding areas, while providing a service to the general public. As a means to regulate tribes in a secondary manner, in the sale of fireworks, states regulate cities who participate in the celebrations that entail fireworks which jeopardizes this opportunity for tribes. In addition to the banning of possession and discharge of fireworks, the sales and distribution of fireworks in state fireworks stands attempt to monopolize the fireworks economy. This fictional research project analyzed the effects of increases in state fireworks stands, professional firework shows, laws and regulations and how they have impacted the sales of fireworks within tribal lands

There are 7 key factors to the successful combustion of fireworks. The first is fuel that burns the star. The most common type of fuel is charcoal, however, black powder or gunpowder will also work. Next, oxidisers are vital because they provide oxygen that will stabilize the combustion of fuel. Reducing agents, another part of the composition of a firework, burn the oxygen provided by the oxidiser in order to create hot gasses. Then, regulators are metals that control the speed of the reaction. Next, one of the most important parts of the composition is the colouring agents. These are what cause fireworks to have color. Certain elements will make certain colors such as, Strontium causes red, Copper makes blue, Barium creates green, Sodium forms yellow, Calcium produces orange, and Iron provides gold. Combining Strontium and Copper will give off the color purple. A binder is the next item of the composition. Binders secure the composition with a pasty substance like dextrin, paron, gum, or resin. The final ingredient is chlorine donor. It reacts to the metals, and will intensify the

As the fuel burns, it literally creates hot specks of metal that eject from the sparkler as sparks. The color of the sparkler is determined by the type of metal powder used in the chemical slurry. If you buy wedding sparklers for instance, they will burn gold which means they are made from aluminum and magnesium powder. If you want your sparklers to burn white, you would use titanium powered. Iron burns red, and there are all sorts of other metal powders used to create other colors. In some cases, color pigments are added to enhance or chance the color of the metal powder as the sparkler

Colors are emitted by the spectrum of light energy in everything around us. Even our flesh is the color it is due to the frequency of vibration we emit.

Inset gas fires in Samlesbury is a great option if you prefer a fireplace that is easy to use and without the fuss associated with a wood burning fire. Fireplaces are wonderful additions to your home. They are not only useful and convenient, but can also accentuate the beauty of your house. Gas fireplaces are easy to use and have many advantages over traditional wood-burning fires.

The Role of Black powder in Fireworks Fireworks are a device containing gunpowder and other combustible chemicals. Fireworks cause spectacular effects and explosions when ignited. They are most commonly used for display on in celebrations (William Collins Sons & Co, N/D). Fireworks are spectacular as they produce amazing bursts of colour that form a variety of shapes.

Fireworks flared into the crowd, causing confusion and minor injuries to attendees of the event.

Throughout this whole experiment we will be dealing with several different elements. We will be using lighter fluid, baking soda, and powdered sugar. We will control the amount of baking soda added. We will start with the designated amount and increase in increments to see how large of a snake we can grow. All elements could be potentially dangerous when combined with each other, but the particular black snake firework experiment chosen is the least dangerous. In this experiment fire is a big part of the black snake. But, it is also proven that your fire can be extinguished with baking soda. That intrigued me to want to know why it extinguishes fire, and then why it doesn’t put the fire out in the experiment. Also, sugar is used in this experiment. Fireworks are and have been an interesting thing for people of all generations and it will be interesting to see how combining these three elements will make a growing black snake firework.
