Electric light

Symbols are always open for interpretation. The same object can represent two completely different things in different stories; what matters is the context of each situation. In Ernest Hemmingway’s “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” the symbolism of light and dark can be used to explore the themes of isolation, depression, and the idea of nothingness in a man’s life and how this has a monumental impact on the way he lives it, invading every crevice and taking over. Although the story seems quite…

describes before absorption how much material light of a certain wavelength can penetrate. E.g., for low absorption coefficient, light is poorly absorbed, and for thin material, it will seam transparent to that wavelength. Thus, it depends on the material & wavelength of light being absorbed. α is given by: Where, λ is wavelength & k is extinction coefficient. Fig1: α observed at 300K for different semiconductors as function of vacuum wavelength of light. 2. Angular diameter: from a given…

In Paul Bogards essay, "Let there Be Dark", he offers a very clear stance on why natural darkness should be preserved. He does this by retelling a personal incident, relating to a piece of art, and providing detrimental facts. First of all, he provides a personal anecdote during a time where he was in Minnesota. He starts off by saying,"..I knew woods so dark that my hands disappeared before my eyes." By saying this, he shows off how darkness is really affecting him. He also says that 8/10…

In experiment 1 there were five cuvettes of decreasing concentrations from the initial 0.01 mg/ml concentration of Fast Green solution (cuvette 1). The diluted concentration of cuvettes #2 through #5 were calculated using the dilution formula, C1V1 = C2V2 ; the calculations for the dilute concentrations are in Results section. The concentration for each tube were as follows: 0.015 mg/ml for tube 1, 0.0075 mg/ml for tube 2, 0.00375 mg/ml for tube 3, 0.001875 mg/ml for tube 4, and 0.000935 mg/ml…

in C1. Come back together to watch the next batch of videos in C2 and end with a review of safety procedures in the DP. What does FPV stand for?(First-Person View.) How does a camera capture visual data?(When light hits the pixels in a camera, it knocks electrons loose and creates an electric current that the camera can detect and interpret as an image.) Why are most FPV systems based…

All street lights which usually made the street blaze in the night were off. The boy looked up at the full moon in the sky, which was shining through the clouds. “All of this could not be real,” he thought. Suddenly, Xavier’s eyes were blinded by the green light which exploded in the distance. It was huge and bright, and was gleaming like a fire. As it was spreading its rays, lighting…

(electron-hole-doped) semiconductor material and n-doped (electron-doped) semiconductor material. When electric current through this junction is present, the electrons participating in the electric current are of an elevated energy state and propagate in the conduction energy band. The conduction energy band exists at a higher energy than the valence band, which is where electrons occupy the valence states of an atom. In an electric current, it could also be interpreted that a flow of…

In the depletion region, a strong electric field exists which separates the photo-generated electron –hole pair, and is responsible for directing the charge carriers into the avalanche region. In the regions outside the depletion region, the electric field is very weak, hence photo-generated electron-hole pairs are more likely to recombine. Using Beers-Lambert law, the SiPM can be optimized to absorb light for a certain desired wavelength(or range of wavelengths) in the…

I. Science Fair Question What is the speed of light in gelatin? II. Background Research Did you ever wonder how the speed of light is measured? This paper will discuss how the speed of light is measured. The terms that will discussed in this paper are the law of refraction, trajectory, Snell’s Law, and the index of refraction. Snell’s Law gives the relationship between angles of incidence and refraction for a wave impinging on an interface between two media with…

Nicholas Carr’s “Flame and Filament” is a piece of writing which seeks to outline the importance of candle light throughout history and emphasize that it still has a significant place in the modern world. Nicholas begins his story with an introduction to the history of artificial light and explains how the technology slowly evolved over the years, into the modern electrical light which has become of a staple of the world today. Throughout the story the author has added supporting details which…
