Light is just one portion of the various electromagnetic waves flying through space. The electromagnetic spectrum covers an extremely broad range‚ from radio waves with wavelengths of a meter or more‚ down to x-rays with wavelengths of less than a billionth of a meter. Optical radiation lies between radio waves and x-rays on the spectrum‚ exhibiting a unique mix of ray‚ wave‚ and quantum properties. At x-ray and shorter wavelengths‚ electromagnetic radiation tends to be quite particle like

HVDC LIGHT TECHNOLOGY ABSTRACT [pic] Transmitting power at high voltage and in DC form instead of AC is a new technology proven to be economic and simple in operation which is HVDC transmission. The HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances by overhead transmission lines or submarine cables. It is also used to interconnect separate power systems. A further development in this technology is HVDC

ummary: Did you ever think that how the street lights automatically turn ON in the night and turn OFF automatically at morning? Is there any person who comes to ON/OFF these lights? The following circuit that described below which perform this job automatically. This circuit employed the output from an uncomplicated light/dark activated circuit and oblige a relay in its output which can be further attached to switch ON/OFF a street light and electrical application in a household also. Many of the

The absence of light There is no darkness‚ only the absence of light. You cannot measure the dark; it is a measure of illumination‚ or in some cases‚ a lack of it. This point stands in both a physical and metaphorical state. Imagine a pitch-black room‚ if I were to ask you “what do you see?” would you say “the dark”? How can you see darkness? You can’t. You notice that there is an absence of light. In the same way‚ when we judge someone to be‚ in essence‚ evil‚ that is just how we perceive it

LED LIGHTS A Museum Exhibit Case Study By Kathy Andal September 6‚ 2013 In April 2014‚ the Durango County Museum of History installed a small exhibit titled Our heritage: Pictures from the past. The collection consists of five daguerreotypes and several silver albumen prints. A study was made to measure the benefits and costs of using LED. lights instead of traditional halogen lamps.

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

The Bingham Light In the small town of Dillon South Carolina was a small community called Bingham. As a child we were told many stories of the Bingham Light. Ghostly haunting stories by many were told about the farmer John Bingham and how he haunted the woods. This is a short story of my experience. According to legend‚ which changes from generation to generation‚ the farmer tried to warn an oncoming train with his lantern of the broken train tracks‚ which resulted in him being decapitated

Xxx.comTheories of light In the seventeenth century two rival theories of the nature of light were proposed‚ the wave theory and the corpuscular theory. The Dutch astronomer Huygens (1629-1695) proposed a wave theory of light. He believed that light was a longitudinal wave‚ and that this wave was propagated through a material called the ’aether’. Since light can pass through a vacuum and travels very fast Huygens had to propose some rather strange properties for the aether: for example; it must

emergency vehicles. Red color is being chosen as the color for the emergency vehicles strobe lights is because of the night vision capability by using this color. It cannot be denied that red color is more easily to be notice if compared to other color. Red color can catch more attention and alert when we saw red because red is signal us about danger. Advantages and Disadvantages White: light is the most effective attention-getting signal‚ containing all visible spectral wavelengths
