    speed is different. The refraction of light when it passes from a fast medium to a slow medium bends the light ray toward the normal to the boundary between the two media. The definition of produced visible light means when the electromagnets radiation meets the human eye. The first example of produced is a glow stick because it produces its own light . Another example of produced visible light is Fireworks. Also a vapor lamp is a good example of produced light . The definition of reflected means

    Flame Tests Atomic Emission and Electron Energy Levels AES‚ or atomic emission spectroscopy‚ is a method which chemically analyzes the particular wavelength of a sample element to identify and determine the abundance of this certain element. The wavelength of the atomic spectral line unveils the identity of the element while the emitted light intensity is proportional to the number of atoms in the element. The flame test is also a very effective way to identify an individual element. The color

    ratio. What happens when an unstable nucleus emits an alpha or beta minus particle? Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles which each comprise of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Beta radiation consists of fast moving electrons. A beta minus particle is emitted because a neutron is changing into a proton. What is a photon? A photon is a ‘packet’ of quantum of electromagnetic waves. An electromagnetic wave consists of an electric wave and a magnetic wave which travel together and vibrate: *at

    Visible light (commonly referred to simply as light) is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye‚ and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light is usually defined as having a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometres (nm)‚ or 400×10−9 m‚ to 700 nanometres – between the infrared‚ with longer wavelengths and the ultraviolet‚ with shorter wavelengths. These numbers do not represent the absolute limits of human vision‚ but the approximate range within which most people can

    About Radiation: Radiation is an energy that is transmitted in the form of waves or tiny particles. These are electromagnetic waves‚ which are classified as ’ionizing radiation’ and ’non ionizing radiation’. Electromagnetic radiation is when an object gives out electromagnetic radiation. For example when you on a torch light‚ the light is an example of radiation. Ionising radiation has more energy than non ionising radiation. Therefore it is enough to cause chemical changes by breaking chemical

    The Photoelectric Effect Definition: It is the emission of electrons from a metal surface under the illumination of a suitable radiation. The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon whereby electrons are emitted from a surface (usually metallic) upon the exposure to and absorption of electromagnetic radiation‚ such as visible light‚ that is above the threshold frequency. This is because electrons cannot get enough energy to overcome their atomic bonding. The photoelectric effect furthered wave
