The human eye detects only electromagnetic waves, and even then, only those electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between 4000 and 7000 angstroms.


Which is safer a navy ship or a navy submarine?

A Navy ship is equipped with cannons and guns and is a lot bigger. However, it is on the water, which makes it an easier target. A submarine is only equipped with torpedoes, but it is underwater, which makes it a bit safer usually, unless the enemy detects the submarine's movement and targets it.


Why RFID over bar code in library?

An RFID can be hidden in the book's spine and scanned when a person passes through the main door of the library, an alarm can be triggered if the main library computer detects it has not been properly checked out. This can't be done with barcodes. Stores use a similar but cheaper system, where an AC magnet at the checkout counter is just used to destroy an RF based anti-shoplifting device.


What are the mental effects of agent orange?

The U.S. Military used chemical agents such as napalm and agent orange to kill vegetation and harm the enemy during the Vietnam War. Agent Orange was a chemical defoliant used to strip leaves from trees in the jungle and to destroy rice crops to deny the enemy food sources. The defoliants were sprayed to allow the U.S. to see into the jungle and see the Viet Cong that were hidden from air-view due to the trees covering the grounds. The defoliants caused health defects in the Vietnamese civilains. Some of the health detects included cancer, sterility in soldiers, unhelathy and deformed babies and still born babies.


What did the SS do?

SS stands for Schutzstaffel (which literally means 'protective squadron').It was first formed in 1923 as a unit of the the Nazi paramilitary SA (Sturmabteilung - Stormtroopers) and did not become fully independent till 1934. The original task of the SS was to act as bodyguards for senior Nazis, but in 1925 it became Hitler's personal bodyguard. From 1929 onwards it was headed by Himmler and expanded considerably.In 1934 the SS assumed sole responsibility for running the concentration camps and it became a central element in the Nazi terror apparatus. It was the SS that organized the Holocaust.After what was known as the Night of Long Knives that took place on June 30- July 1, 1934, in which major components of the SA had been disovled, the SS basically became a state within a state. There was almost no aspect of German life that the SS did not have its hand in. One of the key figures in the SS rise to power was Reinhard Heydrich who was head of the SD (SS security services) and later became head of the RSHA (Reich Security Main Office). Heydrich was one of the architects of the Holocaust and it was through him that major members of the Nazi party and of the SS met at Wannsee in 1942. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the practical organization of the extermination of the European Jews.Forerunners of the Waffen SS emerged in the late 1930s. In 1940 this became a kind of a 'second' German army alongside the main army the Wehrmacht (Heer).The SS considered itself the elite of the Nazi soldiers. Germans who wanted to join the SS had to prove that none of their great-grandparents had ever been Jewish. Officers had to prove their heritage was free of Jewish ancestors even further back then men Enlisted in the SS. In Nazi racial ideology the SS towered high above ordinary ('Aryan') Germans. However, in World War 2 the SS also became a kind of Nazi 'foreign legion', with Ukrainian, Latvian, Bosniak and many more units, as the regular armed forces (Wehrmacht) did not accept foreigners.Their leader, Heinrich Himmler, was, together with many of his fellow SS, responsible for designing and executing the Holocaust.The Waffen-SS were the Nazi elite troops, but also included some very poor troops, too. SS men were used to guard concentration camps and some members were turned into Einsatzgruppen, which were used in Eastern Europe to track down and murder Jews.Schutzstaffel- Protective staff, organization, unit. There were both General ( called Allgemeine- this not a military rank,) SS ( including police crime-lab technicians, photographers, etc, and Waffen-SS men who as the adjective applies were fully armed!
