“Light Pollution” is a form of environmental pollution in which excessive artificial outdoor lightings affect the natural environment. Light pollution in Hong Kong is very serious. The main reason behind that are the artificial outdoor lightings. As there are many buildings scattered in Hong Kong‚ artificial lighting is omnipresent. The severe light pollution reduces the number of stars that are visible in the sky. The HKSAR Electrical and Mechanical Services Department‚ 20% of the total electrical

As the sun rises‚ birds begin to sing the joy of light and as the day ends‚ the birds fly back into the darkness of night. The darkness of our lives is often transformed by the delusion of light. In James Baldwin’s essay‚ "Sonny’s Blues‚"� the title itself sets up an irony that is explored throughout. The name "Sonny‚" when read‚ sounds like "Sunny‚" meaning brightness‚ light and hope. The word "Blues" presents the reader images of night‚ darkness and sadness. The darkness represents the reality

In light reactions‚ the goal is to transfer solar kinetic energy to chemical potential energy. This is first done by the absorption of a photon of light. Plant pigments are molecules that selectively absorb light energy at wavelengths. A pigment molecule absorbs a photon of light one of pigments electrons jumps to an energy level further than the nucleus. The electron has more potential energy here. The electron now has raised from the ground state to an excited state. Pigments of photosynthesis

Brazil‚ to light his workshop when his neighbourhood was suffering energy shortages‚ enabling him to continue working. His neighbours‚ intrigued by the idea‚ soon started following suit‚ adding the bulbs to their homes in kitchens‚ bathrooms and living areas where electric light was prohibitively expensive and inefficient. The bottle bulb revolution was then further enhanced by The “MyShelter Foundation”‚ which runs a program in the Philippines called “Isang Litrong Liwanag: a Liter of Light”. Based

Light pollution happened slowly at first which was several decades ago it was a process that was hardly noticeable. A light here‚ a light there‚ burning way into the dark nighttime realm‚ helping us see in the darkness when people all their our beds fast asleep. The process still continues today‚ with little thought ever given to what we are stealing away. Our intentions are good but our methods need adjustment‚ and they needs to be done immediately. In fact‚ our methods should have been changed

The light bulb is an invention that has been around since the 1800’s. This invention has significantly‚ affected society by allowing the world to create a comfortable safe environment. The light bulb was invented in 1879 using lower current electricity‚ a small carbonized filament‚ and an improved vacuum inside the globe; this was not an original invention by Edison this was an improved invention by Edison from 50 years ago. Edison was able to produce a reliable‚ long-lasting source of light

THE NATURE OF LIGHT Until the time of Isaac Newton (1642–1727)‚ most scientists thought that light consisted of streams of particles (called corpuscles) emitted by light sources. Galileo and others tried (unsuccessfully) to measure the speed of light. Around 1665‚ evidence of wave properties of light began to be discovered. By the early 19th century‚ evidence that light is a wave had grown very persuasive. In 1873‚ James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves and calculated

Students are not expected to know the answers to the Prior Knowledge Questions.] • To survive‚ what gas do we need to breathe in? Oxygen • Where is this gas produced? In plants Gizmo Warm-up During photosynthesis‚ plants use the energy of light to produce glucose (C6H12O6) from carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and water (H2O). Glucose is a simple sugar that plants use for energy and as a building block for larger molecules. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Plants use some of the oxygen they

LIGHT PEN A light pen is a computer input device in the form of a light-sensitive wand used in conjunction with a computer’s display. It allows the user to point to displayed objects or draw on the screen in a similar way to a touchscreen but with greater positional accuracy. A light pen detects a change of brightness of nearby screen pixels when scanned by cathode ray tube electron beam and communicates the timing of this event to the computer. Since a CRT scans the entire screen one pixel at
