    Is light a wave or a particle? This is a question that has been debated for centuries and still is unproven to be only one or the other. This report is about explaining Young’s Double Slit Experiment, which tried to prove light as a wave, and the results of his experiment. This report is also to inform and explain the modern physics world, and it will accomplish this by explaining Young’s Double Slit Experiment to help understand a small part of the modern physics world. In the modern physics world

    device that can be thought as a gun. The second screen has a surface that can record or detect any wave or particle that manages to pass through the slits and strike the screen. As will be seen, sometime the researcher will open just one slit and other times both slits. The experiment is conducted in stages in order to contrast waves from particles. In the first stage a series of bullets (particles) will be fired toward the barrier with one slit open. As expected a vertical pattern of bullet

    The spectroscopy lab centralized on the properties of waves and they relate to the emission spectrum, however one must understand the Bohr model of the atom first. The Bohr model for the atom depicts a planetary like structure, with a positively charged nucleus in the center with small, negatively charged electrons rotating around in specific, fixed orbits at different distances from the nucleus. When an electron transitions from a higher orbital, where it is in its excited state, back down to a

    investigate and experimentally demonstrate the elastic wave filtering properties of graded undulated lattices. Square reticulates composed of curved beams are characterized by graded mechanical properties which result from the spatial modulation of the curvature parameter. Among such properties, the progressive formation of frequency bandgaps leads to strong wave attenuation over a broad frequency range. The experimental investigation of wave transmission and the detection of full wavefields effectively

    Introduction: Modern age is the age of technology and in this era data communication has become pervasive in every field of life. It has changed the way we live. Advancements in technology made the communication more efficient, by carrying more and faster signals. The transmission media plays an important role in efficient communication and the technologies used for transmission advanced from wired to wireless. LiFi is one such advanced wireless communication technology which uses LED’s as a medium

    vibrations moving in the air they are called traveling longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves allow us to hear. By allowing us to hear, it allows high and low pressure to form called compression and rarefaction. What behaviors do air vibrations cause? They cause a Standing wave. A standing wave is the result of the wave reflecting off the end of the tube and interfering with itself. Vibration inside a tube forms a standing wave. When sound is produced in an instrument by blowing into it, allows

    to greatly muffle the noise and vibration generated by the passing commuter trains. According to IIT, the tube muffles the train noise noise from an average 120 dB to about 70-80 dB outside the building, about 70 dB inside the building. Sound waves are caused by disturbances in the air. These disturbances are usually caused by a vibrating object. In the case of the MTCC, the CTA train railroad is right above the MTCC. As the train is traveling along

    This past weekend I went back to my home town; Jacksonville, Fl, and visited with some of my old friends from high school. Since we all live so close to the beach we all decided to have a beach day on Saturday. While we were at the beach on Saturday we all decided to rent two paddleboards and try it out. None of us have ever paddled boarded before this just surfed, but we always see people paddle boarding at the beach so we thought it was going to be pretty easy. My friend Michelle and I were the
