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 speed of light (meaning speed of light in vacuum)‚ usually denoted by c‚ is a physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its value is 299‚792‚458 metres per second‚ a figure that is exact since the length of the metre is defined from this constant and the international standard for time.[2] This speed is approximately 186‚282 miles per second. It is the maximum speed at which all energy‚ matter‚ and information in the universe can travel. It is the speed of all massless particles and

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
