The Amazing Adventures of Electromagnetic-Man! 1st Publish

In the distant city Pigmentum, in a small office, a man named Ray Blue. He worked as a house painter. 
Not too famous yet, not unknown. Though he was actually the famous superhero of the town 
Electromagnetic-Man! He became Electromagnetic-Man when once in a science class, 
he was playing with electromagnetic radiation, and now he can bend light using refraction, 
diffraction, and reflection, and change its colors. Instead of using his powers for evil,
Electromagnetic-Man decided to use his powers for the good of society.
His Arched nemesis is infrared, the super villain that was Ray's lab partner in that 
dangerous experiment with. 


One day, in Pigmentum City, while Ray was painting the mayors house, all of a sudden 
he saw in the sky his sign 
and he knew that he was needed. Ray jumped to the air, did a front flip, and used diffraction to change the color of his cloths and he changed the color of his skin next t his eyes so he would have a mask like skin. As fast as he changed, he flew towards where the problem was. When he arrived the crime scene, he saw his arched enemy Infrared keeping all the traffic lights on red, not allowing them to change! This made the people of Pigmentum  very upset, but for their luck  Electromagnetic-Man had a plan. "Hey Infrared!",  Electromagnetic-Man shouted "Be careful of the winds!" and so  Electromagnetic-Man used his power to warm up the atmosphere, causing strong wind currents to send Infrared flying away and twirling in the air while he screams "Curse you Electromagnetic-Man!". As quick as lightning, Electromagnetic-Man used his powers again, to change the frequency of the light from the traffic light from 4×10¹⁴ Hz to  5.77×10¹⁴ Hz which changed the light from red to green! 


That way, the traffic lights no longer stopped people from getting to work. 


Once again, the day was saved by... ELECTROMAGNETIC-MAN!!

The Doppler Effect

In class, we have encountered a disturbance in the frequency of a wave that is called the Doppler

effect. like Antoni's "waawawawwaw" (bad ambulance noises) and like in the video Dr. G has showed us (here's the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyTnx8GgDD0&feature=related). Basically what the Doopler Effect is, is that due to the movement of the source of sound, the wavelength is changed, and one can hear only a small part or a bit distorted part from the sound. In the vidowe that was given above, the Doopler Effect is prominent and is easily discovered. www.kettering.ed's definition fo the Doppler Effect is "THe sudden change in pitch of a car horn as a car passes by (source of motion) or in the pitch of a boom box on a sidewalk as you drive by in your car (observer motion) was first explained by Christian Doppler. His Doppler Effect is the shift in frequency and wavelength of waves which result from a source moving with respect to the medium, a reciever moving with respect to the medium, or even a moving medium."

The Importance of Mechanical Waves and Electromagnetic Waves

In our world, there are many different kind of waves. Transverse waves which moves up and down unlike longitudinal waves which stream and move sideways. These two kinds of waves are 2 of 3 waves that can be describes as mechanical waves. The third kind that goes under the category of the mechanical waves are surface waves. The only prospect that is required in order to transmit these kinds of beacons is matter. Without matter, the waved wouldn't be able to be transmitted. One of the most important kind of mechanical waves that we use and hear in our everyday life is sound. we hear each other because the particles of sound are moving through the air and are reaching us. Another use that is known to us that is based on mechanical waves is ultrasound. According to Wikipedia.com ultra sound is "cyclic sound pressure with a frequency greater then the upper limit of human hearing." Ultrasound is used for the Realm of medicine, especially in sonography to see the baby in the mothers womb.

Another conspicuous kind of wave that is important to our everyday life is the electromagnetic wave. These frequencies are used in microwaves, X-rays, TV, Radio, and the most important of all light! According to http://www.colorado.edu electromagnetic waves are "wavy disturbance that repeats itself over a distance called the wavelength." Without electromagnetic waves, we would not be able to live, due to the fact there would be no light (and according to a fact Marko Jovsic gave last class, humans will be able to survive only 8 minutes without the sun which produces our light), we would not be able to listen to music in the radio while our parents are driving us to a far place, we would not be able to watch movies on the TV, and we would not be able to pop popcorn!
