Hi Lisa! How are you? Are you excited for Physics today?
The Following Week........
Hi, I'm great, you? Yeah, I heard that Professor Dave was going to tell us where we will be going for our educational trip.
Electromagnetism
Hello everyone! Today we will learning about Electromagnetism, Ampere's and Lenz's Laws.
Forty - Five Minutes Later................
and that is how electric current is induced in a magnetic field. Now, finally for the news you've been waiting for. We will be going to the Canadian Light Source Synchrotron in Saskatoon next week to learn more about the application of electromagnetism. Make sure to have the permission form signed by tomorrow.
We are here!! Be sure to be on your best behaviour. We'll be meeting up with John who's a control's analyst here at CLSS.
Hi everyone! My name is John a control analyst here. I will be walking you through what a Synchrotron is, explaining how it works, and taking you to important locations
A synchrotron is a device that accelerates electrons to the speed of light. As the electrons are deflected through magnetic fields they create extremely bright light. The light is channelled to workstations where it's analyzed and researched.
That's a great question! When the electrons are deviated from their path by a strong magnet, the electrons emit energy in the form of light and moves into the beam lines where it is experimented and researched on. Nano-spectroscopy is done to extract chemical information at the nanoscale.
What research is done after the electrons are deflected through magnetic fields?
An electric source is located in 1 that emits charged particles using a process that is similar to a Cathode Ray Tube. Then the electrons travel in a circular high vacuum steel tube (number 2). Through the process of electromagnetic induction, intense electromagnetic fields, the electrons are accelerated to a huge voltage. The electrons are then shot from the booster (1 and 2) into the transfer line and into the storage ring (number 3) where there will circle for approximately a day travelling at the speed of the light. After this, synchrotron light is generated. The curved section of the storage ring has a powerful magnet that deviates the electron's path and at that time of deviation, energy is produced in the form of radiant energy. The light energy is then inserted into beamlines where the research is performed.
Fun FactThe electrons present in the storage ring travel 4 times the diameter of the solar system.
And that is how a synchrotron works. Now we'll be visiting one of the beam lines where we extract chemical properties from the small particles.
This is one of the beam lines in this synchrotron where we use the process of nano spectroscopy to identify nanoscale properties that affect the overall performance of functional materials.
I really hope that you learned a lot today and that how the application of electromagnetism plays a role in the Synchrotron.
Thank you John for the tour today! We sure learned a lot that had deepened our understanding of electromagnetism.
