Journal Entry Week 3

1. Analyse why red sunsets can sometimes be more impressive when there is more dust or pollution in the air than usual.

 They are more impresive when there is no dust or pollution in the air because the light rays refracts and can discolour the light off the pollution and dust particles which prevents the full effect of the sunset.

1. Describe what happens inside water droplets to cause a rainbow and explain how you can tell whether a rainbow is a primary or secondary.

the white light goes through the falling water droplets then it  reflects and refracts to cause the spectrum to appear.

You can tell if a rainbow is primary or secondary by the colours they are in from top to bottom. A primary rainbow will have red on top and a secondary rainbow will have violet on top.

The things that influence my issues relating to my life would definatley be my religion, family, friends and the way i have been brought up, to be the person that I am.

            JOURNAL ENTRY WEEK 2

Investigate the two types of sight defect- long-sightedness and short sightedness.

Find the following information:

1. what causes the defect

 the eyeball is too long compared with the focusing power of the cornea and lens. This means light rays from objects in the distance are focused in front of the retina because they’ve been bent too much by the cornea and lens.

Long-sightedness (hypermetropia)

the eyeball is too short when compared with the focusing power of the cornea and lens. This means light rays from near objects are focused behind the retina because they haven’t been bent enough by the cornea and lens.

1. the symptoms displayed

Short-sighted:  Objects in the distance appear blurry

Long-sighted: Headache, eye strain, blurry vision when concerntrating on close objects

1. propose what sort of lens may be used to correct each vision.

Long-sighted: Convex lenses

Short sighted: Concave lenses

Relevance of plays to 21st century

I have found Shakespere plays are not relevent to the 21st century because they use old english and people dont really want to watch 2 people fall in love and die because the way the plays happen does not really happen in the 21st century. But some people still love shakespere plays and really enjoy watching them.

What are the typical features that all Shakespeare plays must include?

The typical Shakespere plays include Girl Characters, props, lighting, action, death, love and romance.
