Experiment 10: Polarized Light Clara Mbamalu November 9th, 2014 Physics 1402 Professor Ndetan Abstract: The purpose of the experiment is to learn more about the polarization of light, polarizing filter and the light intensity changes through polarizing filters. Overview: The action of light is an extraordinary phenomenon. Light, for example, the one emitting from a light bulb, is a form of wave motions that consist of electric and magnetic fields that vibrate at right angles to the direction

they obtain nutritive organic molecules (1), in other words, their food. Plants are denominated as autotrophs, organisms that can produce their own food from abiotic sources surrounding them, such as light, carbon dioxide and water (2). Plants use these three factors in photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy, which is then stored until the plant needs it, or used right away (3). The process of photosynthesis takes place on organelles (substructures inside eukaryotic cells) called

controversy over the relationship between light and dark, as well as its overall impact on society as a whole. When comparing light versus dark, they are related in the same fashion as a yin-yang symbol to the point where there is good and evil within both of them. Just like Anne Frank stated in the above quote, light by itself is able to both defy and define darkness. This is because, while it is shining through the dark, there is also a shadow being cast from the light breaking through. Many believe that

Have you wondered why streetlights are yellow, or why the year 2000 cars have brighter headlights and they are a different color? Have you ever wondered how the indiglo light on your watch works, or why it glows green and not white? And did you know that same indiglo light can be used while frozen, dipped in water, bent in half, stepped on, or in hazardous environments. Lighting has changed over the last few years; there are advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of lighting.      Lighting

Light and Energy Practical Report Results Lens Observation Focal Length Thick Convex Lens Focal Point As light passed through each convex lens the refracted rays converged together, while for the concave lens the rays of light diverge away from each other. 32mm Concave Lens Virtual Focal Point 64mm Thin Convex Lens Focal Point 75mm Discussion Light is form of energy that we can visible see, it travels through electric and magnetic waves, it is formed out of both natural and man-made resources

Dark under the sun Are you afraid of the dark? I assume that everyone is, right? Darkness always represents evil. In many cases today, darkness relates to death, ghosts, slaughter, and sin. Light, in contrast, is often a symbol of hope, justice, life, and saints. The story takes place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Hester Prynne, a married woman, fell in love with the young clergyman, Dimmesdale. She was found guilty of adultery when she gave birth to a little girl, Pearl. As a punishment, Hester

The green light at the end of daisy's dock is the symbol of gatsby's hopes and dreams. It represents everything that haunts and beckons Gatsby: the physical and emotional distance between him and Daisy, the gap between the past and the present, the promises of the future, and the powerful lure of that other green stuff he craves money. The light is something that is a key part of gatsby's character, even the very first time the books protagonist nick sees gatsby he is down at his dock staring at

In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, the motif of light and lightness symbolizes the knowledge of Clarisse McClellan and her angelic-like qualities and the acquired knowledge of Guy Montag. A major part of the light motif, is the character Clarisse and her appearance described from Montag’s point of view. As Montag is coming home after a day of work, he meets this young women name Clarisse. She is described thoroughly, especially her face as “slender and milk-white [... and] of pale surprise [...]

Use of Light and Dark in Antigone   The "Golden Age" of Greece is noted for its many contributions to the creative world, especially in its development of the play. These performances strived to emphasize Greek morals, and were produced principally for this purpose. Antigone, by Sophocles, is typical. The moral focused on in Antigone is the conflict between physis (nature) and nomos (law), with physis ultimately presiding over nomos. Throughout Antigone, King Creon is a symbol for nomos, while

that was made was, if we shine light at several different transparent objects at ranging densities the light will bend more when it moves through an object of higher density, and bend less with an object of lower density. For this project a computer was used to simulate shining light at the following objects/mediums: Prisms, water, air, and glass. The intensities of the reflection and refraction were measured by the angles from the vertical speed and wavelength. Light came through several prisms, and
