Look up, look down, look all around... that's physics baby? Something as simple as seeing can be understood properly through physics. You don't see light, rather, light allows you to see. When light bounces off of a particular object and reflects onto your eyes - you see it! When the lights go out, when its dark outside, you can't see because your eyes aren't receiving any rebounded light. It may seem overly simple and mondane, but its good to understand. The speed at which light travels to your eyes is 3X10^8 m/s^2. Beat that Hussein Bolt... beat that.
Additionally, light travels through objects that are either transparent or opaque. In a transparent object, electromagnetic frequencies of light are able to go through - as seen in my fishtank below! However, in opaque objects these waves cannot. Its simple to think of this easily as things you can see through and things you cannot.

Neat fish tank! (Scary picture...)
ReplyDeleteI like your post's accuracy - no conceptual errors.....BUT there's always things to improve, right?
I think you meant to say "mUndane" (with a u instead of an o).
But hey! 1 spelling error is nothing to beat yourself up about. Great job, buddy.
What a colorful picture!
ReplyDeleteHAHA thank you Sean.. always looking to improve my grammar! And don't worry, I definitely won't beat myself up bro.
