In , particles ionize gas atoms. The tube
contains a gas at low pressure. At one end of the tube is a very thin 'window'
through which charged particles or gamma rays pass. Inside the tube is a copper
cylinder with a negative charge. A rigid wire with a positive charge runs down
the center of this cylinder. The voltage across the wire and cylinder is kept
just below the point at which a spontaneous discharge, or spark, occurs. When a
charged particle or gamma ray enters the tube , it ionizes a gas atom between
the copper cylinder and the wire. The positive ion produced is ...
Many time periods have been interesting to those who were living in them. Things aren?t going to change overnight, even if they change rapidly. Some issues are enormous, fundamental and long-term, such as male dominance, social victimization, or urban sprawl. Meanwhile other critical issues play a smaller part, such as disposable packaging, youth...
Brown J. Jed, Glenn Edward P., and O?Leary James W. 1998. Irrigating Crops with Seawater. Scientific American. ?? talks about the global problem of finding enough water and land for the world?s population to survive. An estimated 494.2 million acres of cropland is needed just to feed the tropics and subtropics for the next 30 years. H...
Have you ever turned on the television and saw an oil spill or gotten really excited to go to the beach only to see contamination signs everywhere? Pollution may be destroying the ocean before the ocean's resources will fully be used. For years, all kinds of garbage and toxic waste have been disposed into the ocean, thinking that the ocean is large...
In this report I will give a history on the development of . I will cover some of the most important dates in the development of atomic theory. An atom was first thought of by the Ancient Greeks who believed that matter was made of smaller particles called elements. The name they gave to these particles was the atom. In 1776 the man known as "T...
