What is Ray: Definition and 516 Discussions

Finland's Slot Machine Association or RAY (Finnish: Raha-automaattiyhdistys) was a government-supervised and -owned nonprofit gaming (gambling) association (statutory corporation) in Finland. On January 1, 2017 RAY merged with the government-supervised and -owned nonprofit betting agency Veikkaus and Fintoto. The new company that was founded as a result is also called "Veikkaus". RAY was a gambling monopoly whose proceedings went to domestic charity such as pensioner care and gambling addiction treatment. While RAY was best known for its slot machines, the company also dealt in online gambling and controlled the only official casino in Finland, Casino Helsinki.RAY's operations were governed by legislation and decrees. The operations of the other Finnish gaming organisations, Veikkaus and Fintoto, are also based on the Finnish Lotteries Act. The act was last amended in 2012.RAY's revenue came from slot machines, casino games, and casino and digital gaming. All the proceeds from RAY's gaming operations were used to support Finnish health and welfare, and these funding decisions were also based on legislation.The history of the Tuplapotti predecessor, the Potti game, dates back to 1986, and in the 1990s a newer version of it was developed that rose to much greater popularity than its predecessor. The game was developed by Veikkaus (by then known as RAY), and the game is still one of the favorite gambling games in Finland.

    Ray Bradbury's on Your World with Neil Cavuto, 4:00 pm.

    If you're on the east coast, Ray Brardbury's on Neil Cavuto's "Your World" REAL SOON. Incase you don't know, it's on Fox News. Expect some Michael Moore bashing, as Bradbury got pissed Moore ripped off his book title. Should be fun regardless.

    Hi, quick problem regarding emission of gamma ray.

    A Fe (57) atom is in an excited state 14.4 keV above the ground state. The nucleus decays to the ground state with the emission of a gamm ray. What's the recoil speed of the nucleus? I'm not sure how to set this up. I thought a photon would have no mass, therefor no momentum. If so I...

    Light Ray Problem: Reflection & Refraction

    1. If a light ray go through a boundary of air and glass(i.e. angle of incidence is 90 degree), Is there any refraction or reflection? 2. If angle of incidence is 0 degree( the light ray is normal to a glass), Is there any reflection? 3. Suppose the situation is same as (2), but the light ray...

    Why Does Gamma Ray Take 1M Years to Reach Star Surface?

    I was just thinking, nuclear fusion in the core of a star produces a gamma ray burst that takes about one million years to reach the surface of the star where it becomes visible light. Why does it take the gamma ray one million years to reach the surface if it is traveling at light speed? I...

    QG plasma and gamma ray bursters

    Would a quark-gluon plasma reflect x rays and gamma rays and would such a plasma exist in gamma ray bursters and black holes?

    How the white ray of light changes to a spectrum of colours

    Hi...Juz curious. I was doing the prism experiment yesterday and was just curious about how the white ray of light changes to a spectrum of colours... Has it got anything to do with the change in the speed of the different colours of light, the frequency / the wavelength? Or just purely...

    Angle of an emerging ray through two boundaries

    Thank-you for taking the time to read my problem. I am currently doing work with light and boundaries and have come across a question that I am having a hard time understanding. I know how to calculate angles when they go through one boundry but I can not figure out how to do it when there is 2...

    Image formation and ray diagrams

    Ok, a lens is held upright with a piece of clay. In front of it is a bulb, and behind it is a screen at the location of the image of the bulb. Now, what would happen to the image if the top half of the lens were covered by a mask? And what if the mask had a small hole in the center and were...

    Risk Assessment of Intended Procedures for Cathode Ray Tubes

    Hey guys In a few days i will be doing an Assessment task requiring me to do a number of things relating to experiments on Motors and Generators and Cathode Rays.. I am confident in doing all of it but the last part states we have to analyse secondary information to carry out a risk...

    GCR Spectrum Peak Energy: 1-10 GeV/nucleon | Source

    Does anyone know the peak(or the energy at which the flux is the greatest) of the GCR spectrum? And a quotable source for that. I am pretty sure it is in the 1-10 GeV/nucleon range. thanks

    Electromagnetic Bubble forming Gamma Ray Bursts.

    This Paper may be large, but it is a must for some pretty far reaching consequences for Cosmology. http://uk.arxiv.org/PS_cache/astro-ph/pdf/0312/0312347.pdf I will astounded if the paper is not seen in the near future as a remarkable paper of astronomical foresight and will be a paper...

    Upper Limit of Energy for Gamma Ray Bursts?

    It's embarassing to have to ask this, but I have never seen this issue discussed. Is there an upper limit on the energy of the gamma rays from the gamma ray bursts? Namely 1.022 MeV? Because any gamma ray of that energy or greater can and will produce pairs of electrons and positrons by...

    How Do Matrices Help in Ray Tracing a Scratched Glass Sphere?

    Here is the problem: A glass sphere with a diameter of 5cm has a scratch on its surface. When the scratch is viewed through the glass from a position directly opposite, where is the virtual image of the scratch, and its magnification? The glass has an index of refraction n=1.50. Explain the...
