I love learning about radios!
Hi!! From Tennessee. I hope ya’ll have as much fun as i do watching these science live’s!!!
How would spark create radio waves? Also, I’ve been wondering, does Acellus have a Meteorology or Astronomy course?
I’ve always wondered how we got the measurement hertz
I didn’t know a spark could create radio waves! How neat.
Good afternoon miss Pajet!
How did the electron jump? I love Dr. Rodger Billings!
Hi. Thank you for having me. Mohammad From Virginia!
hey from Texas have a nice night and I’m so grateful for ACELLUS❤️
It was amazing to hear about how LED’s were invented. Some people can truly beat the odds even when others deny you.
Hello from Phuket
How does making a spark create a radio wave?
We should have a class for morse code.
I”ll definetly check out the research paper Dr.Billings wrote on the diet that helps with metabolic health! Interesting and helpful at the same time.
how did they prove infrared’s existence if it can’t be seen?
The spark made radio waves. That is pretty cool. Hi from Maryland! Cole
What is a tornado’s favorite classic game to play? Twister.

How did he create those transmitters in such a different time?
Hi from Arizona! Dr. Tobias’ talk on LED lights was really interesting!
What else can LED lights be used for? Can mold be used to protect us from things other than radiation?
radio waves have always been so interesting to me like just the thought that no matter what you do there is always waves it’s so fascinating
James Clerk Maxwell first figured out the radio waves. People use radio everywhere.
Great show tonight. Hello from Alabama!!
What is a theoretical physicist? Do they just make theoretical equations and attempt to make them possible?
Comment Hello from New Mexico! Another great lecture i have only been on Acellus for a few weeks but it’s truly helped a lot! Thank you!
