Frequency

The frequency of a wave is determined by the number of complete waves, or wavelengths, that pass a given point each second. The colour RED has a frequency of around 430 trillion vibrations a second, whereas Violet has a much higher frequency, so each violet wave would pass a given point much quicker than the colour RED. All light travels at the same speed but each color has a different wavelength and frequency. Frequency of waves To try and explain the frequency of colour a little further, imagine that an ocean with waves that are 10 meters apart that crash on the shore every 5 seconds could be classed as having a frequency of 5, whereas an ocean of waves 10 meters apart that crashed on the shore every 10 seconds, would be classed as having a frequency of 10. The more frequent the waves, the HIGHER the frequency. It is these different wavelengths and frequencies that cause the different colours of light to separate and become visible when passing through a prism. This can be looked upon in the same way that radio waves have different frequencies and wavelengths, certain stations can only be listened to at a particular frequency or wavelength. So the colour blue - say, can only be visible at a particular frequency and wavelength range. The higher the frequency, of the colour, the closer together the waves of energy are. Higher frequency colours are - violet - indigo - bluelower frequency colours are - yellow - orange - red.A high frequency light wave has a higher energy than that of a low frequency light wave

Wave length

A wavelength is the distance between the same locations on adjacent waves. As an example; an ocean full of waves, that were 10 meters apart, could be said as, having a wavelength of 10, whereas an ocean of waves that were 30 meters apart would be said as having a wavelength of 30. The same applies to light. The colour RED has a wavelength of around 700 nanometers long - one wave spans only 7 ten millionths of a meter! Whereas, Violet has a much shorter wavelength, so each violet wave would span a much shorter distance. Waves of Energy Within the Universe, positive and negative charges (waves of energy), are constantly vibrating and producing electromagnetic waves traveling at an incredibly high speed.(186,000 miles per second, the speed of light.) Each of these waves has a different wavelength and speed of vibration. Together they form the electromagnetic spectrum. Light travels in waves. A wavelength is the distance between the same locations on adjacent waves.

Light energy

The amount of energy in a given light wave is proportionally related to its frequency, thus a high frequency light wave has a higher energy than that of a low frequency light wave. Colour is made up of different Wavelengths and Frequencies Each colour has its own particular wavelength and frequency. Each colour can be measured in units of cycles or waves per second. If we can imagine light traveling in waves like that in an ocean, it is these waves that have the properties of wavelength and frequency.

The prism

To physically see this, we need a prism. When light from the sun passes through a prism, the light is split into the seven visible colours by refraction. Refraction is caused by the change in speed experienced by a wave of light when it changes medium.

If your complexion is looking lackluster, chances are dead skin cells are to blame. "Dull skin is caused by a buildup of dead skin cells that don't slough off properly, kind of like old paint or nail polish that loses its luster," says top dermatologist Dr. Jessica Wu. Couple that with dry winter weather, sun damage and hormonal changes and you've got a recipe for skin care disaster. Fortunately there are a few easy steps you can take to keep your skin looking its healthy, glowing best.Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. If your skin isn't shedding those dead cells on its own, you're going to have to do it yourself. If you have normal/oily skin, Wu suggests using a salicylic acid product, like Philosophy The Microdelivery Peel, once a week. If you prefer mechanical exfoliation over chemical, try the Clarisonic Skincare Brush to physically remove buildup. For those with dry or sensitive skin, Wu recommends a gentle scrub like Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Smoothing Scrub to gently lift off dead skin cells without aggravating your skin.Get into a routine. In addition to your weekly exfoliation, Wu suggests you keep your skin vibrant by using a sunscreen during the day to protect from skin-dulling sun damage and use a night cream that contains a retinol or retinoid like Renova to speed up cell turnover and push new, healthy cells to the surface.Do a quick fix. If you want your skin to look brighter instantly, Wu has a few sneaky tricks to get glowing right now. "I'm obsessed with shimmer powder, which reflects light and makes your skin instantly glowier," says Wu. Try: Stila Illuminating Finishing Powder and Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick. Wu also suggests using a makeup primer to smooth flaky skin and provide an even surface for powder or foundation application. We like: Dior SkinFlash Primer.

Mother's Day History

Filed under by Nahal Ahmed on 8:58 PM


The history of Mother's Day is centuries old and goes back to the times of ancient Greeks, who held festivities to honor Rhea, the mother of the gods. The early Christians celebrated the Mother's festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. Interestingly, later on a religious order stretched the holiday to include all mothers, and named it as the Mothering Sunday. The English colonists settled in America discontinued the tradition of Mothering Sunday because of lack of time. In 1872 Julia Ward Howe organized a day for mothers dedicated to peace. It is a landmark in the history of Mother's Day.In 1907, Anna M. Jarvis (1864-1948), a Philadelphia schoolteacher, began a movement to set up a national Mother's Day in honor of her mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis. She solicited the help of hundreds of legislators and prominent businessmen to create a special day to honor mothers. The first Mother's Day observance was a church service honoring Anna's mother. Anna handed out her mother's favorite flowers, the white incarnations, on the occasion as they represent sweetness, purity, and patience. Anna's hard work finally paid off in the year 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as a national holiday in honor of mothers. Slowly and gradually the Mother's day became very popular and gift giving activity increased. All this commercialization of the Mother's day infuriated Anna as she believed that the day's sentiment was being sacrificed at the expense of greed and profit.Regardless of Jarvis's worries, Mother's Day has flourished in the United States. Actually, the second Sunday of May has become the most popular day of the year. Although Anna may not be with us but the Mother's day lives on and has spread to various countries of the world. Many countries throughout the world celebrate Mother's Day at various times during the year, but some such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. Mothering SundayThe early Christians in England celebrated the Mother's festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter) to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. Interestingly, later on a religious order stretched the holiday to include all mothers, and named it as the Mothering Sunday. People working out of their homes were expected to return to the "mother" church (the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm). It also became an occasion for family reunions.

Mother's Day In Australia

Mother's Day is celebrated with great zeal and fanfare all across the world, including Australia. Similar to the people of United States, Australians celebrate the day on the second Sunday of May, every year. The day marks an excellent opportunity to thank and express the deep felt gratitude to one’s mother. It is dedicated entirely to the leading lady of the family. Whilst the Super Moms sit back and relax on this particular day, children take up all their responsibilities. People of all the ages, from preschoolers to adults, contribute to make the day a special one for their mother. The celebrations in Australia are similar to that in United States, except for the traditional custom of wearing a carnation. In Australia, colored carnations hold different meaning than the white ones. If a person is wearing a colored carnation, it signifies that his/her mother is living. On the contrary, a white carnation is worn to pay homage or tribute to a deceased mother. All across Australia, on Mother's Day, children thank their mom for the undying love and care she showers on them. Right from the morning tea to the evening party, they try to articulate their feelings through a number of small as well as large gestures. Mother's Day is also an excellent time for the Australians to surprise the mums with gifts and tokens of appreciation. Traditionally, gifting fresh flowers has been considered the best way to articulate the feelings. However, with changing times and commercialization, the options are varied. Cards, expensive gifts, home decorations, novelty gifts, flowers, chocolates, perfume and surprise evening party, all pave the way to an exceptional retort for the Australians to pamper their moms with.
