Essays on Red Light

Chapter 1 – Introduction to Color Study

1. What is the difference between direct light and reflected light? Give examples of each. Direct light travels from the source to the destination without being interrupted while reflected light is the light produced when the direct light bounces off a material. One example of direct light is the sunlight while reflection from the mirror is an example of reflected light (Young, Freedman & Ford, pp. 1080). 2. Describe the cause of color, the means used to generate it, and the effect. Light consists of a spectrum of light wavelengths which have a representative color; thus, upon reaching the retina ...

Introduction

In this paper we use basic tools of statistics and probability theory to investigate is it reasonable to install such red light cameras in our town. There is some data available from neighboring towns in the form of accident rates per week at various intersections before and after the red light cameras have been installed. We perform statistical hypothesis testing based on this data set.

Analysis

The sample of 50 observations was collected from neighboring towns. This data is given below in the following table: If we want to consider is it reasonable to install such red light cameras, ...

Lab Report

Introduction The purpose of the experiment was to show how prism separates white light into its component colors and to show how different colors are refracted at different angles through a prism. It was hypothesized that violet color would be the most refracted because it had the lowest wavelength.

Materials

- Light source - Trapezoid from Ray Optics Kit - Blank White Paper

Procedure

The light source was placed in a ray box mode on a sheet of blank white paper and a single white ray was selected by turning the wheel. Trapezoid was positioned such that its acute angle side faced ...

In this essay I will trace the development of Latin American countries that have led to a violent state of impunity and corruption, particularly in Mexico. The current state of things will be analyzed in light of the recent disappearance of 43 students, a crime in which authorities and criminal organizations are equally responsible. The history of Latin America is very enlightening when thinking about its current issues. Take poverty for example, Latin American countries were conquered by different European nations and conquerors cohabited with local people. The locals were obligated to serve their conquerors and to live as slaves. ...

What is sunlight?

The sun provides tirelessly every square meter of the earth's surface, which it attacks, with an average of about 1370 watts of power (in the form of electromagnetic radiation). We say that the sun burns, but actually it does not. Instead, the sun is a giant nuclear reactor (Layton & Freudenrich, 2000). This solar energy is called the solar constant, since it does not change, except for minor fluctuations. Solar energy is sent in the form of light waves. Light is an electromagnetic wave. The frequency of light - or how fast the waves vibrate - determines the differences in color. ...

My telephone rings and it is Joe, my news manager.

“Jillian, there a breaking story. An invasion of the lungs. I need you on it. Where are you guys?” “We’re just finishing up the interview in the femoral vein. We always edit later if you think it’s a hot story.” “It’s bacteria. Our girls got a fever so you should be feeling the heat already,” he responds. “We’re on it.” I tell my photographer Doug who also pilots this sub to head for the lungs.

“Which way?” he asks and I roll my eyes.

Red light cameras have a few detriments that debar it from being the substitute of reducing any threat in the transport system precisely at the road intersections where there are traffic light control systems. The system is such complicated and has a lot of slips and could lead to exposure of impending danger to the drivers. The policy of banning the use of red light cameras is recommendable and would reduce chances of causing more collision. It also expose the driver to fear of breaking the law hence he or she loses the concentration. Lose of concentration leads to unexpected accidents ...

On a car journey to visit relatives, we pulled up at a red light. In the car next to us, a pair of young men in baseball caps and tracksuits also waited for the lights to change.
