July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
| Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 1935, the spectrophotometer was patented by A.C. Hardy. Have at it, you guys. What is it, where did it come from, what does it do, and why should you care? I'm not looking it up to see what it's all about, so let's hear your takes on it.    Friday, January 08, 2016 This is a Chemistry Subject. In 1854 Robert Bunson and Gustav Kirchhoff joined forces in chemical research. They knew that when chemicals are heated they give off light waves. They found that when dispensing light waves, from heated chemicals or objects, with a prism, the light breaks down into individual unique patterns they called spectral lines. The science of Spectroscopy was born to analyses colors. They cataloged these spectral color lines. In the process they developed the first laboratory instrument for this purpose. The Spectrophotometer was developed for the science of Spectrophotometry. Other people advanced this technology in the 20th century.The Spectrophotometer that has developed from those first research movements examines visible light, near ultraviolet light and near infrared light. A www.Youtube.com entry published June 13, 2013 says, “Historically used by chemists to understand the structure of atoms.” In the process of using this light technology new chemicals have been discovered and new materials that advanced the progress of living conditions such as rubber tires has been developed. {embed:Https://youtu.be/F342GNLXsxA} apondia#1781748 apondia#1781748 |
