Notes on EQUIP
Notes on EQUIP ------------------------- ST Command The “time interval” field for the “Status output” control determines how often the ST command is sent to the DAQ; it does NOT affect how often a dataline is written to the raw data textfile. Thus, it will not (directly) affect…
X-Ray Diffraction and DNA Lab Activity
Hello Everyone, Here is the the lab activity that uses the diffraction pattern of a spring as an analogy to the famous x-ray diffraction of DNA. This lab is written by Rick Dower who adapted it from the physics teacher. The original physics teacher article can be found at https://…

Below are resources from Brian Washburn's presentation on polarized light and lasers from the 2016 summer workshop.
2016 LIGO Workshop at Buffalo
22-23 August, 2016 Objectives Participating teachers will be able to use the LIGO e-Lab to: Plot and interpret data recorded by LIGO seismic instruments Explain the importance of LIGO seismic data in gravitational wave search Identify and list classical physics concepts in…
Danielle's LIGO Workspace
Hello World! Questions from the powers that be on seismology: What are the types of seismic waves? How are they different from one another? s-waves or shear waves (transverse!!!) p-waves or pressure waves (longitudinal!!!) How do the various types of seismic waves propagate…
The Gents; Virtual meeting 2016, LIGO questions
Why seismic waves are important to LIGO All kinds of things shake the ground and therefore affect the interferometers. These background vibrations have to be "subracted" just as background radiation is subtracted to determine radiation from a radioactive source. sources of seismic…
Kathy and Debbie
1. Compressional or P (for primary) Transverse or S (for secondary) Love Rayleigh P and S are called body waves because they travel or propagate throught the body of Earth. The latter two are called surface waves they travel along the Earth's surface and amplitude decreases with depth…
