![]() The biggest gamma-ray generator of all is the Universe.Īre radio waves completely different physical objects than gamma-rays? They are produced in different processes and are detected in different ways, but they are not fundamentally different. Gamma ray: Doctors use gamma-ray imaging to see inside your body. Hot gases in the Universe also emit X-rays. X-ray: A dentist uses X-rays to image your teeth, and airport security uses them to see through your bag. "Hot" objects in space emit UV radiation as well. Ultraviolet: Ultraviolet radiation is emitted by the Sun and are the reason skin tans and burns. Fireflies, light bulbs, and stars all emit visible light. In space, infrared light helps us map the dust between stars. Infrared: Night vision goggles pick up the infrared light emitted by our skin and objects with heat. Microwave: Microwave radiation will cook your popcorn in just a few minutes, but is also used by astronomers to learn about the structure of nearby galaxies. ![]() Radio waves are also emitted by stars and gases in space. Most laser levels are used in the construction industry.Ī tower-mounted laser level is used in combination with a sensor on a wheel tractor-scraper in the process of land laser leveling to bring land (for example, an agricultural field) to near-flatness with a slight grade for drainage.Radio: Your radio captures radio waves emitted by radio stations, bringing your favorite tunes. The position of the sensor on the graduated staff, also known as a grade rod, or story pole, allows comparison of elevations between different points on the terrain. A staff carried by the operator is equipped with a movable sensor, which can detect the laser beam and gives a signal when the sensor is in line with the beam (usually an audible beep). If the mirror is not self-leveling, it is provided with visually readable level vials and manually adjustable screws for orienting the projector. The laser beam projector employs a rotating head with a mirror for sweeping the laser beam about a vertical axis. Rotary laser level Ī rotary laser level is a more advanced laser level in that it spins the beam of light fast enough to give the effect of a complete 360 degree horizontal or vertical plane, thus illuminating not just a fixed line, but a horizontal plane. It was invented by Oscar Soliz in the late 1960’s, who later sold the rights to it. ![]() The concept of a laser level has been around since at least the early 1970s, the original spinning-mirror design laser plane and line level was patented by the late 1980s, and the compact lens-based laser line level (as produced by many tool manufacturers today) was patented in the late 1990s. The tool is leveled according to the accuracy of the device and projects a fixed red or green beam in a plane about the horizontal and/or vertical axis. In surveying and construction, the laser level is a control tool consisting of a rotating laser beam projector that can be affixed to a tripod. The graduated staff is leaning on the pile of sand. A rotary laser level set up and used to level sand fill in trenches.
