Prove that Light is a Wave! - 3 In-class Experiments

 Here are some 3 cool experiments that you can do in class if you have a laser pointer. One of them shows that light is not just a stream of particles/ photons, but a wave at the same time. 1. Laser does not spread out with distance the way the flashlight beam does 2. You cannot see a laser beam from a side. You need a mist to disperse it 3. The famous "double slit experiment"   There is only one hard word that we have to learn today - Diffraction .

Prove that NEGATIVE times NEGATIVE gives POSITIVE - Real-life example

Image
You shall know that: +*+ = + +*-  = - -*+  = - -*-  = + But why? Here is a real-life example. Video: Prove that Negative Times Negative Gives Positive (youtube.com) Example 1: + +  Let's say you gain 2 dollars every day - the coefficient is  +2 How much the amount of money that you have would change in 3 days? - the number of days is +3 So the amount of money you earned in +3 days with +2 each day is 3*2 = +6 dollars   Example 2: - + How much money did you have 3 days ago comparing to now? -3 days  -3 days, times +2 dollars per day, -3*2 = -6 dollars Example 3: - - You spend 2 dollars each day - the coefficient is -2 How much money, comparing to now, you had 2 days ago? -2 days -2 dollars per day * -2 days ago, -2*-2 = +4 dollars
