physics of space plasmas

Matter exists in several phases. If we look at all objects around us, we perceive that some materials have a definite shape and occupy a definite amount of space or volume. We call these materials solids and we can name many objects that are solids. We say that solids have a definite shap..

Plasma are much like gases except that their constituent particles have become electrically charged, and their behavior in consequence depends strongly upon electromagnetic forces. Most of the matter in the universe is in the plasma state. A fluorescent tube contains plasm..

Space waves travel in (more or less) straight lines. But they depend on line-of-sight conditions. So, they are limited in their propagation by the curvature of the Earth, except in very unusual circumstances. Thus, they propagate very much like electromagnetic waves in free space..

Propagation of EM Waves in Atmosphere - In an Earth environment, electromagnetic waves propagate in ways that depend not only on their own properties but also on those of the environment itself. Since the various methods of propagation depend largely on frequency therefore the complete electromagne..

Conclusion - Unfolding the mysteries of the dark and silent space with no known boundaries has always been a dream of the human race. The desires of man has ultimately been accomplished through the exploration of space using various space launching vehicles, space..

Space Launching Vehicles - To place a satellite into orbit it needs to be accelerated in several stages. The required acceleration is produced by firing rockets at various stages of flight. These rockets are fitted into a system called 'launch vehicle' which carries the satellite. By firi..

Matter occurs in four states: Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma..
