Homework Statement


Choose a technology such as MP3 players, laser, medical imaging, or another that interests you (Other than the cell phone). Research the internet and find out how it is related to the physics of light and waves. In approximately 100-150 words, write a paragraph explaining the between our understanding of laws of physics and your chosen technology. Evaluate how this technology has affected our daily lives. Be sure to briefly describe the technology, its use, and its link to science.

Homework Equations


N/A

The Attempt at a Solution


I was thinking of doing ultrasounds. If there are any other suggestions I am interested in hearing them.
I am not really sure what the question means by link to science. Does it mean how it works?
For explaining the link between our understanding of the laws of physics, I was going to talk about how ultrasound creates images using the echoes/reflections of waves (is this accurate to say?)
I am worried I don't have enough to talk or don't know enough about relating ultrasound to our laws of physics beyond waves.

Thank you for reading.

I'd suggest going with breaking news that is very significant, and provides you an opportunity to learn about CAT scans in this specialized appliction. Have fun, and do a good job in your report!
