The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. There are 7 regions in the electromagnetic spectrum and they are gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves and radio waves. All types of electromagnetic radiation are transverse waves and they all travel at the same speed in a vacuum. The regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are explained below in order of increasing wavelength and decreasing frequency. Gamma Rays (γ-rays)

In the absence of agreement about its meaning, the term "social" is used in many different senses and regarded as a fuzzy concept, referring among other things to: Attitudes, orientations, or behaviors which take the interests, intentions, or needs of other people into account (in contrast to anti-social behaviour) has played some role in defining the idea or the principle. For instance terms like social realism, social justice, social constructivism, social psychology, social anarchism and social

Unit 9 #1 Transder: A device that converts from one form to another. #3 Radio Frequency interference and Electromagnetic interference. #5. Electric Field and Magnetic field. Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as visible light, X-rays and radio waves #17. Refraction is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission medium. #18. Shadow Zone is an area following an obstacle that does not receive

show previous and current research “suggest that in the presence of companion animals, children with autism spectrum disorders function better socially” (Wood, 2015). 2. What questions remain unanswered? The questions that remain unanswered are, what further research is needed? What results from research make Dr. O’Haire caution parents about buying an animal for their with autism spectrum disorder? What further research needs to be done? 3.

Schawlow’s Ruler Every color on the visible light spectrum has a distinct wavelength. These wavelengths can be measured by using the diffraction pattern of the light. In this experiment we used a HeNe laser and a green laser pointer with known wavelengths of 632.8x10-9m and 532.0x10-9m respectively. We aimed the lasers at a slight angle from horizontal onto a precision steel ruler with 0.5x10-3m and 1.0x10-3m rulings. When the laser is incident on the rulings, it reflects onto a surface

Name Instructor Course Date Antennas This report provides details of different types of antennas used in ships as well as maintenance procedures and precaution measures when dealing with antennas. An Antenna is a component capable of radiating and capturing radio waves. Thus, antennas are useful elements of a ship and together with radio equipment are a means of communication between the vessel and the control tower. The first type of antenna used on ships is the quarter wave vertical

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. Types of Electromagnetic Spectrum: Radio-The wireless transmission through space of electromagnetic waves in the approximate frequency range from 10 kilohertz to 300,000 megahertz. Micro wave-An electromagnetic wave with a wavelength between

and characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder among young children. Journal of Developmental and Behavior Pediatrics. Literature Review Researchers suggest that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder are now being identified at younger ages. Data from the CDC Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network characterized preschool aged children with the disorder in the US (in five communities). It was found that preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were more likely

This is both a very serious topic to address as well as a difficult one to approach with a neutral approach for all that are involved. This topic has been the basis for many convictions to be overturned, and for many officers, and detectives to face disciplinary charges for having acted in an improper manner. It is very easy to do the right thing when someone is watching you, but very hard to do the right thing when nobody is watching you. There are many factors involved in making
