Physics essays / Co2 Lasers
Carbon Dioxide Lasers
Carbon dioxide lasers are one of the most powerful lasers ever constructed. The word “LASER” stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers are devices that amplify light and produce light beams, ranging from infrared to ultraviolet. A light beam is consistent when its waves or photons, increase while mixing together. Laser light can be e...

Lasers 3
The idea for the laser started as long ago as 1905 when Albert Einstein suggested the simulated emission of light. Light sources ie. candles, florescent substances, torches, and light bulbs give of packets of energy, called photons, when their atoms are excited by energy. Einstein suggested that these atoms could be artificially stimulated to emit photons, where the light produced would be highl...

Heat-Capacity Ratios for Gases
Cp = Cv + R
The ratio,

An Investigation Into Electrical Resistance
Background Knowledge
Resistance, in electricity, is a property of any object or substance to resist the flow of an electrical current. The quantity of resistance in an electric circuit determines the amount of current flowing in the circuit for any given voltage applied to the circuit. The resistance of an object is determined by the nature of the substance of which it is composed, its resist...

What does it take to launch an ultra-light fishing line over 200 feet? A little physics and a lot of feel for the fishing rod, that s what. The trick to doing good is to have the thinner, end of the line, land on the water first then the fly. The end of the line cushions the fly, having the effect that a fly is landing on the water, not a piece of nylon string. This m...

I feel the future of transportation lies in space travel. People can go any where in the world and can do anything but travel in space. This is do to the incredible cost of space travel. The use of massive amounts of fuel for departing and re-entering the atmosphere contributes a high percentage of the cost. If there was only a way to cut down on these costs, space travel would become a mo...
