Wander Johannes
De Haas
Dutch Physicist most famous for his work
with Einstein. Haas and Einstein formulated
the Einstein-de Haas Effect. Together they
embarked on an understanding of
magnetism, angular momentum, and
spinning elementary particles.
Niels Bohr
Danish physics, who created elaborate
and closely accurate ideas as to how the
atom was constructed, was an award
winning physics himself. Albert Einstein
would use his model of the atom to
further develop his own as well as further
his creation of the quantum theory.
Photoelectric Effect
The photoelectric effect is the ejection of electrons from matter that has absorbed
electromagnetic energy in the form of light, X-rays, microwaves, radio waves, ultraviolet
radiation, etc. The ejected electrons are called photoelectrons. When electromagnetic
waves (whichever source) hits an electron within one of the atoms the metal, or material
is made up of, energy is transferred to it. If the amplitude, or intensity of the energy
(waveform) is great enough the electron will come out of the atom completely creating
the photoelectric effect.
Theory of Relativity
Space is a dimension that appears to be alterable by
how we perceive it in relation to our bodies. Simple
relativity + general relativity = theory of relativity. Simple
relativity states that the speed of light is the same for
every observer despite how fast or slow they are
moving and despite the direction they are moving.
General relativity states that time, matter, and space
must coexist to exist. In theory, Newtons three laws of
motion are only true to the extent of the observer and
what is occurring, or what they perceive has occurred,
relative to them. The theory also states that light
doesn't bend - space bends, and matter can bend
space. In fact, matter and energy are directly
Bose-Einstein Condensate
The new state of matter, Condensation, is when gas
T
combines and condenses directly into a liquid. When gases
slow down they begin to collect and form a liquid. Bose
had sparked an idea in my (Einsteins) brain. Boses original
idea was that light was a collection of photons. I (Einstein)
assumed the same applied to atoms as well. However
atoms operated on different properties than that of light
and that atoms were morely affected by energy levels.
Where the temperature changed considerably - through
coming in contact with hotter/colder temps., we predicted
the atom changed as well and this came to be known as
condensation.

*Einstein was not able to complete this -his very last theory.
He literally worked on it, on his deathbed, until the day he
died.
Dear Reader,
My topic of choice was chosen because it was guaranteed to capture my attention for the duration of the
timeframe we had. Albert Einstein was obviously involved in the sciences, which have captured my interest from
an early age, but particularly Physics. Einstein was a must because this was also my first year taking a physics
course. I thought of myself as killing two birds with one stone with Einstein as a topic of choice. My order of
genres start from the most basic to the complex details about Einstein and his life. In completion of this project I
had somewhat ease with the basic biographical details and creating genres for those such as the photo book, birth
certificate, and biography summary. However the more complex part of research particularly Einsteins
scientific journal was horrific in trying to construct. This was by far the part that was the most challenging. Not
only did I have to try to muster an understanding of Einsteins work but I had to try to explain it a simply as
possible - while making it look like his (Einstein's) personal journal. Though challenging this part wasnt
necessarily my least enjoyed part. My least enjoyed part was not in researching/understanding Einstein's works
but in trying to explain it very clearly to the reader - it was frustrating knowing it could of been explained clearer
even though some of his theories are struggled upon to be explained by people all over the world. Some people
even win awards for being able to explain his theories/works simplistically. I enjoyed putting the project together
(Visual attractiveness part) and learning about one of my favorite scientist, Albert Einstein. I definitely liked this
approach to research better than a traditional paper because I feel like I simply learned more and got a better
understanding of Einstein that is going to stay in my memory unlike what a traditional paper would've given me.
