jumper03 0 #103 April 7, 2006 QuoteQuoteSo the angle of incidence is greater then the angle of refraction? Something like that... the blue wavelengths (as well as violet and ultraviolet) are able to refrace through the atmosphere) whereas the other wavelengths are reflected... (kind of like a prism...) near the earth's poles where it atmosphere is thinner and due to ionization effects some of the other wavelengths make it through the atmosphere... and viola we have the aurora borealis... at least I think that's about right... I'll post the real answer AND answer the borrealis tomorrow when i'm sober....Scars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I love this thread...laughing so very much. My 5th grader knew the answer to why the sky is blue.. we went to the Santa Ana planetarium in Jan2006..hey that's it..why not take your students on a field trip>>> IF you are going to be Stupid - you better be tough!

popsjumper 2 #112 April 7, 2006 I feel for you 'bro. When I was in the Army they had me teach a new class for the Signal Corps - Microwave Operator. Idiot's class...here's the On swich, here's the tuning dial, here's the signal meter - max out the signal reading. Simple, right? Evidently Wrong! Bozo's (all but 1) failed the first freakin' exam - half couldn't read and the other half didn't give a shit. So. Solution? Pulled the cable off the TV and connected rabbit ears to watch Sesame Street every day at 10am. Oh well Got fired from teaching the class though...on the last day of class I had them all stand in their seats and jump down onto the rickety old WWII barracks wooden floors and yell "COOKIES!" Funny, yes, but the classrom was right above the school's NCOIC and he took exception to the shenanigans. True storyMy reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

champu 1 #113 April 7, 2006 QuoteQuoteI thought we had the aurora borealis because emissions from the sun i.e. "Solar wind" essentially plays havoc with the earth's magantic field and those particles get ionized in the process. yes... its because light is an electromagnetic wave...

jumper03 0 #118 April 7, 2006 QuoteI imagine swedishcelt may have a ruler story, too. I'd rather hear hers than mine though.... First lab of the semester last fall in intro physics - I'm doing measurements, significant figures and threw in density. So I gave them wooden blocks, rulers, and balances, told them to meausre the blocks, find the mass, calculate the density and compare it to the listed density (which was standard so they would have to do some conversions as i was making them measure in metric). So I pass out the stuff and a girl at the back raises her hand...."Um...How do I use the ruler?" Now usually a question like that, the other students will look at that person with the look "you dumbass" nope - they were all looking at me and I got nervous. "How many of you do not know how to use a ruler?" 47 out of 49 students raised their hand....Scars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
