I just hit a huge milestone designing my giant pinball machine in Minecraft: the playfield is all laid out!
I'm calling the game Deep Field, and there's five primary objectives based on hitting different shots representing bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
IR: rollover switches Visible light: pop bumpers UV: captive ball X-rays: Drop targets Gamma rays: spinner
Also, a kinetic sling disc to light locks for Pluto Multiball!

Measuring Length: Transit-Time Measurements
One method of measuring distance, or length, is to emit a signal toward an object and measure the length of time it takes for that signal to return. Any signal can work for this method (sound, light, etc.), so long as the math for the speed of that signal is known (such as the speed of sound in water, or the speed of light in air, etc.). Then, a mathematical calculation can be performed to determine the distance between the signal emitter and the object.
Radar is one example of this method, using radio waves to determine distance. Another example is the global positioning system (GPS), which determines distance based on the time difference between your device and the signals sent from multiple satellites.

imagine how cool it would be to listen to music with monica’s power cuz she could be able to see sound waves. THINK ABOUT IT!!!! IMAGINE THE COLORS AND THE VIBRATIONS AND LINES AND ALL OF THE SHAPES

lablings in order of appearance: helium, ultraviolet, Quarks, boron
helium uses she/they, UV uses she/her, Quarks uses They/Them (capitalized cuz They are the labling's version of God), and boron uses he/him

Figure 20.3 summarises the wavelengths and frequencies of some regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. (...) The infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (figure 20.3) covers the range of wavelengths from 7.8 × 10-⁷ m (just longer than the visible than the visible region) to 2.0 × 10-³ m (just shorter than the microwave region).

EM Waves in increasing order of frequency:
Tumblr media
(source)
~~~
Radio Waves: Lowest frequency waves. Used to carry signals in communication industry.
Microwaves: Capable of penetrating obstacles and objects. Due to penetrating nature, they carry radar, computer data transmission etc.
Infrared Waves: IR waves of high wavelength - producing heat. IR waves of low wavelength - imaging technologies, remote controls. capturing pictures during fog, smoke etc.
Visible Light: Emitted by natural/artificial sources visible to the naked eye. (Objects are visible when they absorb light of specific wavelength and emit light of another wavelength)
Ultraviolet Waves: High frequency, low wavelength, used in studying molecular structures and help astronomers. Carcinogenic.
X-Rays: High energy waves (High frequency, low wavelength). View bone structures in the human body, X-ray therapy. Carcinogenic.
Gamma Rays: Used for medical purposes, cancer therapy. Also carcinogenic.

Researchers develop thermal radiation controllable epsilon-near-zero material that can withstand extreme environments
Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted by all objects with temperature and most representatively, there is the solar radiation spectrum that enters the Earth and causes the greenhouse effect. Controlling and utilizing the thermal radiation energy emitted from solar power, thermal power generation, and residual heat in industrial sites can reduce the cost of electricity production. Therefore, interest in radiation spectrum controlling technology is increasing in areas such as cooling, heat dissipation, and energy production. Until now, radiation spectrum control technology has been mainly used in general environmental conditions, but recently, materials that can withstand extreme environments such as space, aviation and TPV system are needed.

Science is cool. I rest my case. I MEAN, LOOK AT THE FIRST PICTURE!! (special thanks to one of my friends who held the lens so i could take a picture and show others like a little weirdo)
