Is there a way to synthesize glucose, or any other high energy sugars, from simpler compounds? What are the compounds and how can they be converted into glucose? Can you describe the reactions that take place to form glucose? This is what I mean, as an example: Say we have methane, or CH4...

I'm pretty sure that it is wavelength, because I've heard talk about Faraday cages and other such electromagnetic barriers, and I've heard "lambda/10 for good shielding." Thanks for the clarification.

From just basic experience, I think that it will stay separated, because I've never heard of anything forming bonds when under high pressure. But then again, considering that there is only water in a completely enclosed container, there is really no place to go for the gases created to go, and...

I have noticed in faraday cages and in microwaves that the holes in the screen manage to prevent certain frequencies from passing through them. Why it is that this happens?

CuSO4 solutions yield sulfuric acid when electrolyzed...

Scenario: Let's say we have ONLY 100% water in an enclosed container that cannot be penetrated. If we run current through it, and the water is completely split into hydrogen and oxygen, then will it: -Recombine to reform the water? OR -Stay separated at the extremely high pressure? And if...

So then those progressively larger rods on yagi-udas on houses match different wavelengths, so as to get the best reception of the certain signals?

Thanks for the correction. I understand now.

Why is it that an antenna length must be somehow proportional to the wavelength of the frequency

I don't think I am getting this. If I have a circle with a radius of 10mm then hypotenuse is 10mm and the peak of a sine wave is 10mm. So far we have the first half of the sine function: sine(X)=opp/10mm. Now I need opposite, but that is dictated by radians. This is where I am stuck. How do I...

Lately I have been trying to plot sine waves, but I can't understand any explanation on the net. I always get y=sine(x), but I never receive any explanation regarding what x IS, be it angle or just the x-axis number. I found a way around this using the Pythagorean theorem, but that is annoying...

Considering Earth spins there is a centripetal force acting on us. How much force is acting on us? Say a 1Kg weight? Can someone give me an equation? Is it significant? I was wondering if land racer would be noticeably lighter or heavier if traveling in one direction or another at 700mph due to...

Microwaves? Cool! Say 32KHz frequency. Is there a way to generate coherent waves at this frequency? How accurate would this be?

"Raser": Is it Possible? Is it possible to make a "raser" (Radio Amplification by Stimulated Emission), or what we know now as a laser, but in the form of radio waves? How would this be achieved?

This also seems to work with digital projectors; the light reflected off the screen and then reflected off the floor appears only green.
