the speed of light “So far as problems involving light are concerned‚ the electrons (in atoms) behave as though they were held by springs”.Feynman “In a microscopic but otherwise classical analysis‚ the electric field in electromagnetic radiation accelerates electrons held by springs in the atoms of a piece of glass‚ and these accelerated electrons re-radiate in all directions. The observed light is the superposition of the electric (and magnetic) fields of the incoming light and the re-radiation

Sun light vs articical light One of the main benefits of artificial light is that you can control how many hours of light per day your plants receive. This way‚ those living in northern or southern latitudes can provide their plants with light for growth and development even when the sun sets early‚ in essence tricking the plants into believing that it is summertime and that they should continue to grow rather than become dormant or‚ in the case of annuals‚ die. In addition‚ your plants will receive

The Effects of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis Aim: To investigate the effects of light intensity on photosynthesis. Background: Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo to produce glucose. The plant then uses the glucose to produce energy which the plant needs to sustain life. The chemical formula for photosynthesis is: Sunlight 6CO2 +6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll The plant requires light‚ carbon dioxide and

Light Effects Refraction‚ reflection and dispersion are all processes which happen when a ray of light is shone at either a glass block‚ a mirror or a prism. The ray box is the light source. Mirror When the ray box is shone at a mirror the angle of incidence is always a few degrees different to the angle of reflection. For example‚ if you shine a light ray into a mirror at 60* then it will reflect out at about 57*. Glass Block If I shine a light ray into a glass block then the light would
