Before the invention of the light bulb‚ illuminating the world after the sun went down was a messy‚ arduous‚ hazardous task. It took a bunch of candles or torches to fully light up a good-sized room‚ and oil lamps‚ while fairly effective‚ tended to leave a residue of soot on anything in their general vicinity. When the science of electricity really got going in the mid 1800s‚ inventors everywhere were clamoring to devise a practical‚ affordable electrical home lighting device. Englishman Sir Joseph

This article‚ “Relationship between call light use and response time and inpatient falls in acute care settings”‚ focused on three main points of interest. The first was the use of call lights from inpatients and their families. The second was the nurses’ response time to the call light. Finally‚ the third was the amount of inpatient falls that occurred. The goal of the study was to determine whether the call light use rate and the average call light response time contributed to the fall and injurious

on a plant phenotype. Hypothesis- Radish plants that is grown in sunlight‚ room light and in the shade where there is absence of light‚ those that in the shade will display etiolating where there is pale stems and leaves‚ elongated stems and leaves reducing in size whilst those grown in light will be green‚ sturdier and shorter. The plants that are grown in the room light will be in the middle of the other two (light and dark). Apparatus and materials- 6 plant pots Beaker to measure amounts of

Background Theory Photosynthesis: Plants require water from the soil‚ sunlight and carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere for growth and development. In the process of photosynthesis‚ carbon dioxide and water – in the presence of chlorophyll and light energy – are converted into sugar and oxygen‚ which is given off as a by-product. Generally‚ as sunlight increases in intensity‚ the rate of photosynthesis also increases [1]. This means greater food production within the plant. Many garden vegetables

The reactions occur in the chloroplasts and require light energy. 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 In aquatic plants‚ the production of oxygen can be used to measure the rate of photosynthesis as the oxygen bubbles can be observed and counted or collected and

Statement of the Problem The proponents of this study would like to answer the following question: 1. Will this colored solar powered bulb be effective in terms of light provision? 2. Will this colored solar powered bulb be effective in lessening the electrical consumption? Objectives 1. To make an effective

The Fresnel Lens Do you know what the largest light house in America? Or how many steps it takes to get to the top? I do. It’s Cape Hatteras light house in Buxton‚ NC. It was completed in 1971 and stands 193 feet in the air. It takes 268 steps to climb to the top. I visited this light house in August of 2010 I had the pleasure of seeing the 6‚000 lb. bronze and crystal lens. In 1803 it was replaced due to being damaged by vandals. Light houses from the 18th century used burning candles‚ oil lamps

Not all the colors of the rainbow appeared and they were black gaps in the spectrum. 1802 it was discovered the solar spectrum had tiny gaps‚ they were many thin dark light in the rainbow colors. 100 years ago ‚ the hot solid gave continuos spectrum and the overall color of the line revealed the temperature of the object. This discovery made it possible to measure the temperature of an object from a distance. Blackbodies absorb virtually all the light shown in

nature of light Abstract This experiment aims to demonstrate the particle nature of light by photoelectric effect. Stopping potential was measured against different intensities of yellow (λ = 578 nm) and green (λ = 546 nm) light from first order spectral lines of mercury. No significant relationship was observed for stopping potential and percent transmission. However‚ charging time was inversely proportional to the percent transmission for the yellow light which implied
