The dark lines in the continuous spectrum of the Sun would be correlated with the bright lines in hydrogen and helium gas spectrum tubes. The wavelengths of the lower energy colors in the visible spectrum would be compared to the higher energy colors, with their shorter wavelengths. I would develop other applications for the equipment, once the equipment was at hand. Students will experiment with basic fiber optics components to construct their own projects. These materials would allow the 140 who students enroll yearly in general and honors physics to explore the use of fiber optics in communication technology.
Electromagnetic waves result when a charged object is accelerated or decelerated.
Electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultra violet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. The energy of electromagnetic waves is carried in packets whose magnitude is inversely proportional to the wavelength. As a result of activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop understanding and abilities of technological design. The applications of technology in science. The funding of this optics project will enable teachers and students to have hands-on laboratory investigations that reinforce the standards described in national, state, and local curriculum guidelines.
