Polarization of a light ia a process by which an unpolarized light (any light which is having its Vibration in any random direction) is changed to a polarized light (light Having waves vibrating in a particular direction). Polarization is done in Order to produce plane polarized light amd is done by reflection, refraction o Other methods.

Types of polarizaion:

 - Plane polarization.

 - Circular polarization

 - Elliptical polarization

 33- Explain the phenomenon of stimulated Emission and laser operation.

Stimulated Emission is the process by which an incoming photon of a specific frequency can Interact with an excited

Louise Hay born in metz France, to polish-jewish parents. The family immigrated to New York in 1946 after spending part of WW II as refugee in Switzerland. Louise received her B.A in mathematics from Swarthmore College in 1956 and her master's degree from Cornell University in 1959. She then took an instructorship at mount Holyoke College after her husband, whom she had married after her junior year at Swathmore, began a tenure-track position at Smith college.  In 1963 Hay returned to cornell to complete her Ph.D in math, finishing her dissertation in 1965 (after a brief interruption for the birth of twins) . She returned to Mount Holyoke as an assistant professor, the in 1968 after a divorce, movet to the university of illinois at chicago...

Formulas:

Diphthongs: is a combination of two vocalic elements. There`s a glide from one vocalic element to another. The first sound in each Terms in stronger the second one. They are all voiced, are stressed in the very Beginning and all have falling intonation. They are grouping for their ending. The similarities between a long vowel and a diphthong is that they have the Same length, affected by a pre fortis clip.

Introduction

In the 1950s, physicist Richard Feynman delivered a groundbreaking talk that sparked interest in the field of microscale fabrication. At the time, machines were large and electronics relied on bulky vacuum tubes. Feynman envisioned a different path, describing a field where little had been explored but held immense potential.

The Promise of Microscale Fabrication

Feynman's vision centered on manipulating and controlling matter at a tiny scale. He famously proposed that the entire Encyclopedia Britannica could be written on the head of a pin. By reducing the size of written text by 25,000 times, he argued that it could fit within the pin's surface area.

Technical Feasibility

Feynman explained how this miniaturization could be achieved... Continue reading "Richard Feynman's Vision: Microscale Fabrication and the Miniaturization of Information" »

A: Light as a Wave and a Particle

Particle-like Nature of Light

Light energy is contained in small packets called photons. This explains:

• Why light can travel through space.
• The photoelectric effect: Light shining on a metal plate can give electrons enough energy to escape. Brighter light has more energy, but interestingly, dim blue light can dislodge electrons while bright red light cannot.

Representing Light

• Rays: Arrows quickly depict the straight-line path of light.
• Waves: Represent the oscillating nature of light. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel, while electromagnetic waves do not.

Light as a Wave

We define light as a transverse, electromagnetic wave. It exhibits properties like reflection, diffraction, and refraction.

Lord Byron (1788-1824): A Controversial Romantic Figure

Early Life and Reputation

George Gordon Byron, known as Lord Byron, was a prominent figure of the Romantic era. Despite his handsome appearance, he had a deformed foot, which caused him to limp. While considered the embodiment of Romanticism in Europe, his reputation in England was tarnished due to his numerous love affairs and unconventional lifestyle, including rumors of incest and homosexuality. Despite his aristocratic background, Byron opposed absolutist monarchies, showcasing a contradiction in his beliefs. He died in Greece while fighting for their independence from Turkey, solidifying his image as a romantic hero.

Syntactic Functions

In an analytic language like English, the syntactic function of a sentence constituent is determined by its position.

On the other hand, Polish is a synthetic language, which means that syntactic functions of constituents are marked by case.

Phonological Features

In many languages, including Polish, there is anticipatory assimilation of unvoiced obstruents immediately before voiced obstruents. For example,

Polish prośba 'request' is pronounced [[ˈprɔʑba]] (instead of *[[ˈprɔɕba]]).

In both languages, the voicing of phonologically voiced obstruents varies depending on the context. In Polish, there is a rule of word-final devoicing, but its activity is counterweighted by voicing retention in connected speech, whose degree...
