<p>Min Kyung Jo: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> <br /> ==Wavelength==<br /> <br /> [[File:Wiki343333.jpg|right|800px]]In physics, wavelength is the distance in which wave's shape repeats. Wavelength is usually determined by measuring the distance between repeating patterns. Wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter, lambda (λ), and the SI unit of wavelength is nanometers(nm). Different length in wave cause different colors to be reflected. The concept can also be applied to periodic waves of non-sinusoidal shape. Sinusoidal shapes are the shapes of cosine and sine graphs. The term wavelength is also sometimes applied to modulated waves, which are the waves transmitted when information is conveyed. If a sinusoidal wave moving at a constant speed, wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency of the wave: waves with higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequencies have longer wavelengths. The formula for frequency and wavelength is v=fλ. <br /> <br /> [[File:Wiki_00000.jpg|left|250px]]<br /> Wavelength depends on the medium that a wave travels through, such as air, vacuum, and water. Wavelength is a measure of the distance between repetitions of a shape feature such as peaks, valleys, or zero-crossings, not a measure of how far any given particle moves. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===A Mathematical Model===<br /> <br /> We can easily determine wavelength for sinusoidal shaped graphs. For sin(θ), the wavelength would be 2π, since the wave repeats itself every 2π. For sine graph, the wavelength is determined by using the formula, 2π/x, where sin(xθ). [[File:Wiki_00006.jpg|right|300px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===A Computational Model===<br /> <br /> In this case when we are observing the forces applied to a spring moving up and down, we can measure how force repeats by seeing the wavelength of the graph. [https://trinket.io/glowscript/23e96e1c2a]<br /> <br /> ==Examples==<br /> <br /> ===Simple===<br /> <br /> Since frequency and wavelength are closely related, wavelength can be found if frequency is given. In the question below, λν = c. Since the speed of light and frequency is given, wavelength could be easily determined by plugging in the numbers. <br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Wiki_00007.jpg]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Middling===<br /> <br /> A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. The source generating the waves completes 50 to and fro motions in 25 s. A trough travels 2m in 4s. calculate the wavelength of the wave?<br /> <br /> Solution: <br /> <br /> Time taken for 50 oscillations = 25 s<br /> <br /> Time for 1 oscillation, t = 25/50 = 0.5 s<br /> <br /> Frequency of 1 oscillation, f = 1/0.5 = 2 Hz<br /> <br /> The wave travels a distance of 2m in 4s. The wave speed is given by v = 2/4 = 0.5 ms-1<br /> <br /> The wavelength is given by λ = v/f, λ=.5/2=.25<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Connectedness==<br /> ===How is this topic connected to something that you are interested in?===<br /> This topic is not something what I am interested in, but I am willing to have interest from now on. While researching for wiki resource, I learned that different types are waves are deeply related to my current life. I would like to especially learn about the sound waves. <br /> ===How is it connected to your major===<br /> I do not know how this will be connected to my major since I do not know anything about my major. Since concept of wavelength is used in diverse fields, I think this would be related to my major. <br /> ===Is there an interesting industrial application?===<br /> There are interesting industrial application of waves. From radio to ultrasounds, waves are applied through industry. <br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> [[File:neeewton.jpg|left|150px]]The concept of wavelength was first discovered by Isaac Newton. Many people were using prism to experiment with color before Newton’s famous experiments with light. When Newton was observing prism below sunlight, he saw different colors being emitted on the other side of the prism. Newton then realized that you need to move the screen far away in order to get a proper spectrum. After moving the screen and achieving a beautiful spectrum he conducted an experiment to prove that the prism was not colouring the light. He put a screen in the way of his spectrum, and this screen had a slit cut in it, and only let the green light go through. Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours of the visible spectrum, and he also studied the speed of sound. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> [http://physicsbook.gatech.edu/Color_Light_Wave| Color Light wave]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===External links===<br /> <br /> [http://www.qrg.northwestern.edu/projects/vss/docs/communications/1-what-is-wavelength.html| Wavelength]<br /> <br /> [http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/sound/Lesson-1/Sound-is-a-Pressure-Wave| Sound Wave]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> [http://www.juliantrubin.com/bigten/lightexperiments.html| Reference]<br /> <br /> [http://formulas.tutorvista.com/physics/wavelength-formula.html| Reference 2]<br /> <br /> [http://www.chemteam.info/Electrons/calc-wavelength-given-freq.html| Reference 3]</div>

<p>Min Kyung Jo: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> <br /> ==Wavelength==<br /> <br /> [[File:Wiki343333.jpg|right|800px]]In physics, wavelength is the distance in which wave's shape repeats. Wavelength is usually determined by measuring the distance between repeating patterns. Wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter, lambda (λ), and the SI unit of wavelength is nanometers(nm). Different length in wave cause different colors to be reflected. The concept can also be applied to periodic waves of non-sinusoidal shape. Sinusoidal shapes are the shapes of cosine and sine graphs. The term wavelength is also sometimes applied to modulated waves, which are the waves transmitted when information is conveyed. If a sinusoidal wave moving at a constant speed, wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency of the wave: waves with higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequencies have longer wavelengths. The formula for frequency and wavelength is v=fλ. <br /> <br /> [[File:Wiki_00000.jpg|left|250px]]<br /> Wavelength depends on the medium that a wave travels through, such as air, vacuum, and water. Wavelength is a measure of the distance between repetitions of a shape feature such as peaks, valleys, or zero-crossings, not a measure of how far any given particle moves. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===A Mathematical Model===<br /> <br /> We can easily determine wavelength for sinusoidal shaped graphs. For sin(θ), the wavelength would be 2π, since the wave repeats itself every 2π. For sine graph, the wavelength is determined by using the formula, 2π/x, where sin(xθ). [[File:Wiki_00006.jpg|right|300px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===A Computational Model===<br /> <br /> In this case when we are observing the forces applied to a spring moving up and down, we can measure how force repeats by seeing the wavelength of the graph.

<p>Min Kyung Jo: </p> <hr /> <div>==Marie Curie==<br /> <br /> Marie Curie, who won [http://www.nobelprize.org/ Nobel Prize] twice for her work on '''radioactivity''', was born in Polish on November 7, 1867. Born as Maria Sklodowska in Warsaw, Poland, she became the first woman to be awarded a [http://www.nobelprize.org/ Nobel Prize] and the only woman to be awarded for two fields, physics and chemistry. She worked with her husband, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Curie Pierre Curie] , and discovered polonium and radium. After her husband's death, she developed X-rays and died on July 4, 1934. <br /> <br /> ==Discovery==<br /> <br /> Curie was fascinated with the work of a French physicist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Becquerel Henri Becquerel] , who discovered that uranium casts off rays, than weaker X-rays found by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_R%C3%B6ntgen Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen].<br /> <br /> Curie took Becquerel's work and conducted her own experiments on uranium rays, discovering that rays remains constant no matter what condition or form uranium is. This revolutionary idea created the field of atomic physics and Curie started to concentrate on radioactivity. She eventually made a theory of radioactivity, discovered a way to isolate radioactive isotopes, and found two elements, polonium and radium. <br /> <br /> ===Theory of Radioactivity===<br /> <br /> Curie defined theory of radioactivity by stating that ethereal energy radioactive atoms emit must originate from the atom itself, perhaps through some form of decay.<br /> <br /> ===Radioactive isotope===<br /> <br /> Radioactive isotope or radioisotope are natural or artificially created isotope of a chemical element which has an unstable nucleus that decays, and emits alpha, beta, or gamma rays until it becomes stable.<br /> <br /> ===Polonium===<br /> <br /> Polonium is an element named after Poland, the place where Curie was born. Polonium is a silver-grey radioactive semi-metal, and is used for antistatic devices and research purposes. Polonium is an alpha-emitter, and is used as an alpha-particle source in the form of a thin film on a stainless steel disc. <br /> <br /> ===Radium===<br /> <br /> Radium is a soft, shiny and silvery radioactive metal.It has few uses because it is so highly radioactive and therefore is dangerous. Radium-223 is sometimes used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. Because bones contain calcium and radium is in the same group as calcium, it can be used to target cancerous bone cells. It gives off alpha particles that can kill the cancerous cells.<br /> <br /> ==Connectedness==<br /> How is this topic connected to something that you are interested in?<br /> <br /> This topic is highly related to what I am interested in since it both contains information from the two subjects I am interested in, physics and chemistry.<br /> <br /> How is it connected to your major?<br /> <br /> Curie's invention is highly connected to my field, which is biomedical enginnering. Her invention of radium is being used for medical purpose, and her research related to radioactivity consequently resulted in current version of X-ray. It is highly crucial for biomedical enginners to understand the study Curie did. <br /> <br /> Is there an interesting industrial application?<br /> <br /> X-ray is widely used throughout the medical field until now. Curie's development is frequently applied in industry. Radioactive isotopes are used in industry to help efficient producing, and radium and polonium are sometimes used for industrial purpose. <br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> Marie Curie was born in Poland in November 7, 1867. She concentrated on fields of radioactivity, and was awarded Nobel Prize twice. <br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> Are there related topics or categories in this wiki resource for the curious reader to explore? How does this topic fit into that context?<br /> <br /> ===Further reading===<br /> <br /> To read more information about [https://www.aip.org/history/curie/article.htm Radium and Radioactivity]<br /> <br /> ===External links===<br /> <br /> https://www.aip.org/history/curie/contents.htm<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> http://www.biography.com/people/marie-curie-9263538<br /> http://www.realclearscience.com/lists/scientific_discoveries_made_by_women/radioactivity.html?state=stop<br /> http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/84/polonium<br /> http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/88/radium<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Which Category did you place this in?]]</div>

She discovered that the rays remained constant, no matter the condition or form of the uranium. The rays, she theorized, came from the element's atomic structure. This revolutionary idea created the field of atomic physics and Curie herself coined the word radioactivity to describe the phenomena. Marie and Pierre had a daughter, Irene, in 1897, but their work didn't slow down.<br /> <br /> Pierre put aside his own work to help Marie with her exploration of radioactivity. Working with the mineral pitchblende, the pair discovered a new radioactive element in 1898. They named the element polonium, after Marie's native country of Poland. They also detected the presence of another radioactive material in the pitchblende, and called that radium. In 1902, the Curies announced that they had produced a decigram of pure radium, demonstrating its existence as a unique chemical element.</div>
