Light

Thomas Edison took part in the early 1700’s debate on whether or not light was a wave or a particle. He argued that light was a particle and not a wave. This debate divided the scientific community because of the implications it had on how we view the world around us as well as what makes it up. One of the arguments that light was a particle and not a wave was that the lines that shadows made were extremely sharp. He argued that if light really was a wave, the edges of shadows would pulsate or oscillate

Francis Bacon once said, “In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.” This shows that you truly cannot have or see a good thing without also knowing what bad looks like. There are billions of people in this world, the best and brightest people are those people who have overcome that darkness. Those people know what darkness is and have experienced it first hand, therefore they shine so much brighter. These people who have seen darkness and who shine so bright because

These hues are in the bright copper trestles that fall upon either side of my shoulders and my rosy cheeks and lips that give my face life. The light from beyond the windows close by cascade and resonate throughout the kitchen and into the alcove I reside in. The dazzling lights that dance down from the chandelier that hangs over my head gives just enough light to soften the wood frame of the glass panes that sit just out of reach. However, as I write this, the sun is quickly retreating behind the

Light is electromagnetic radiation, energy shown as a wave or a particle, that can be visually perceived as radiant energy.1 Light is measured by the wavelength and frequency. A wavelength is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the next wave and shown by lambda, λ.2 The different types of light begins with gamma rays and proceed to radio waves when increasing wavelengths are compared. Frequency is the number of crests per second and is expressed in hertz and shown as

way of color or light to be seen. The sky has become gray, and the sun has been obscured, reduced to a faint, dim light. In this dark, achromatic world the use of color and light is reserved for objects and ideas of importance. Cormac McCarthy utilizes this scarcity of light and color throughout the novel to provide contrast between the old world and new, and between good and evil and to draw attention to important object and topics. The primary use of this contrast between light and dark is the

This following science lab reflection is about light and how it bends while it travels from one thing to another. Our main goal for this lab was to discover how light bends. But the problem is that we have to break-in and get past laser security in the Whitehouse. I hypothesised that, if we can bend the light around us then we will be able to get past the laser security. If we shine water at the light then the light will bend better and we will be able to get past the laser security and into the

Darkness and light have been used as symbols in various literary works throughout history from meaningful lines in the first book of the bible to powerful statements in modern literature. These two naturally opposing forces are displayed in literary texts to exemplify the ever continuing battles of good vs. evil, illusion vs. reality, happiness vs. misery, or love vs. hate. Most of these external struggles are shown especially in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire. There are instances in

Abstract The effects of light intensity and light wavelength on photosynthesis was observed in two different experiments and closer study of different pigments in spinach was observed. For the experiment where the effects of light was observed, it was found that a light intensity of 30 cm, wavelengths of blue and red lights show the greatest photosynthetic activity. The different pigments present is spinach were also observed and it was noted that though chlorophyll is the most abundant in plants

Dark light Light vs. dark is the most used most important motif in the play Romeo and Juliet. It is used the most in the story. It explains the main idea. The main idea is the love overpowers hate. Light vs. dark is the In Act 1 the play uses light vs. dark to express the main idea of love overpowers hate by comparing the Juliet’s beauty to the light. “One fairer than my love: the all seeing sun never saw her match since the world first begun.” Said Romeo in Act 1 Scene 2.”These happy masks that

that natural light in photographs make the images look better than artificial light. Natural light illuminates the object or person in a photoshoot better than artificial light. In artificial lighting sets, the light does not produce the same effect as natural light. My field of study of photography, which the definition of photography is the art of capturing light. The art of capturing light should only be done by natural light. Light that is used by nature is soft while artificial light is harsh,
