energy levels to the lower ones, the energy of the photons emitted is just the energy difference between two levels. In terms of the wavenumber 1.2 The Pickering Series and the Hydrogen-like Ions In our textbook the Modern Atomic and Nuclear Physics by Fujia Yang it talked about the hydrogen-like ions. And the first well-researched hydrogen-like atom is the helium ions, and this ion

Isaac Newton, was one of the most famous mathematicians in history, but he was so much more. He is often known for his laws of gravitation during the 17th century. He contributed to modern day physics, optics, and mathematics. He lived a very unusual life that led him to be the man he was. “I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.” (“Isaac Newton Quotes”). He spent his life trying to create advances and step outside the box of basic thinking. Isaac Newton did

birth was England in Lincolnshire at Woolsthorpe, it is still in this region that he attended a free grammar school, later on in the year 1661 he joined Cambridge University. During his life in college he developed an immense interest in astronomy, physics and mathematics. He was elected in 1669 as a Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, while before in the year 1667, he had been elected as a Fellow of the Trinity College. Most of his years, he spent lecturing at the Cambridge University until the year

During this past week of tremendous physics class we have been experimenting with yet again another awesome lab! It is called the Stomp Rocket Lab. Stomp Rockets are plastic projectiles that are launched when a bunch of air is being pressure out by the hit or stomp of a foot. Typically, the launch angle can varies due to how the student corresponds the pressure and angle of the rocket itself. That was one of the biggest reasons why everyone had different time and speed reactions. We used stopwatches

What is time ? Time is our universe's fourth dimension. It is something that is relative from an observer to another. Time is measured in physics by the speed of light. The speed of light in a vacuum, is constant for all observers. It is 30,000 KM/Sec. But as time is the fouth dimension in our universe, we should ask, what is a dimension ? A dimension, is a measurment required to define the characteristics of an object. There are some theories, that explain dimensions as a measurment created

Stephen Hawking A cosmologist, a physicist, a theorist, and an author are only a few things to describe Stephen Hawking, a man with many accomplishments regarding his theories on space and the universe. Even though Stephen has had a very rough path to get to where he is now after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at twenty one, that has not stopped him from theorizing and changing the way we look at ourselves and the universe. On January 8th, 1942 in Oxford, England, Stephen

a surprisingly excellent job explaining why and when everything has happened throughout time. His book enters deeply into the subject while being clear, educational, and humorous. Bryson presents a large scope of scientific information including physics, chemistry, and biology, and he makes it incredibly easy and enjoyable for the reader to understand. Bryson successfully accomplishes his goal of helping people understand the history of science and its concepts in a delightful but educational manner

interested about Earth science when he started going to his high school, Gateshead High School. He then after started to go to college a few years later at Imperial College in London in 1907. Then when he was in college he then started to read about physics. He then after he was in Imperial college changed his colleges and started to go to Royal College of science and got his first degree ever , it was in geology. One of the main science contributions he made was that he found out how old the earth is

However, the expansion of scientific knowledge did not stop at the end of the scientific revolution. There were many scientific discoveries in the 19th century contributing to the understanding of physics and chemistry. Scientific discoveries in the 1800s greatly improved on the existing knowledge of physics and chemistry such

drills, marching in step, to more advanced things like keeping in line during section live firing, IA drills during weapon stoppages or malfunctions. However, to get to the more advanced stages, one has to start at the bottom, with the basics. Simple physics states that in order for a structure to be stable, it must have a strong base, a solid foundation. For the SAF, basic discipline is that strong foundation upon which we build everything else that creates the thinking soldiers of this generation.
