What is Heat; The Photon is Heat
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 0
Abstract
All photons will burn you. How do we describe photons as having different amounts of energy? This paper illustrates photons do not have different amounts of energies, rather different types of energy. The experiment of 1800 provides enough data to be analyzed because it has that third point to question the idea that photons carry different amounts of energy. This paper argues that all photons have equal amounts of energy just different types of energy. The composition of the energy within a photon depends on the frequency of a photon, a lower frequency photon like those represented by infrared can boil water faster than higher frequency blue light. A higher frequency photon like a gamma particle is stopped by lead. Given the nature that heat is from photons we can start thinking of sophisticated thermometers that give us the quality of heat not just the quantity of heat. It is the atmosphere that gives more evidence around the nature of photons, we can understand the cycle of the photon/ photonic cycle/ electromagnetic cycle, allowing us to ponder on deep philosophical meanings, intelligent life is there for universe to sustain itself, as well as ask the question why we are not burning given the nature of low frequency electromagnetic radiation. And for those vigorously looking for habitable planets out there, the idea of the circumstellar habitable zone must change to accommodate the proper understanding of heat.

An approximated Snake Function for Road Extraction from digital images
This paper proposes an optimized mathematical model (Snake-ant) for linear feature extraction from satellite images. The model first uses the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to establish a pheromone matrix that represents...
Stress fields in granular material and implications for performance of robot locomotion over granular media
Legged locomotion of robots has advantages in reducing payload in contexts such as travel over deserts or in planet surfaces. A recent study (Li et al. 2013) partially addresses this issue by examining legged locomotion...

Study of the optical properties of SiO2, and Al2O3 films deposited by electron beam technique
Al2O3 and SiO2 thin films have been prepared by electron beam evaporation at different oxygen flows. The influences of oxygen partial pressure on optical properties of Al2O3 and SiO2 thin films have been studied. We have...
Effect of uniform electromagnetic field on the trajectory of a free jet in a resistant medium proportional to the velocity.
The effect of electromagnetic field in a resistant medium of a free jet was carried out. The solutions of the governing equations showed that increase in electric field also increases the velocity profile of the fluid wh...
