No they do not use or make electromagnetic radiation to make light. The light is made with DC current made with capacitors to lower the voltage down from 110volts. In good LED lights there is power factor correction and power rectification to keep from polluting the AC line with extra sin waves.

Which television gives off more radiation LED or LCD?

LED, this is because a light emitting diode(LED) is a form of light that uses electricity and converts it into electromagnetic radiation -LEDs are therefore long lasting tech.


Do led has radiation?

LEDs can also be designed to emit light in the infrared spectrum, but the radiation emitted is very slight and only has limited use, such as communication between electronic devices using infrared ports and signals. Since the diodes are so small, they cannot easily be used to generate large amounts of heat. Other LEDs fall in the visible light spectrum, with some nearing ultraviolet light.


Do LCD screen emit radiation?

An LED TV does emit radiation. However, the amount is very small and not considered harmful. The radiation from an LED television is much less than the radiation that was emitted from older television models.


What characteristics of the electromagnetic waves predicted by maxwells theory led him to suggest that light might be electromagnetic wave?

The speed calculated for such waves, which happened to be precisely the speed of light.


Will LCD Clocks light up at Night?

LCD displays require an additional light source to light up in the dark. LED displays generate their own light.


Different between led infrared led?

Both are light emitting diodes, but an infrared led emits infrared light in the electromagnetic spectrum. With the naked eye, humans can't see infrared light but many cameras can. Infrared leds are used in remote controls and many other applications.


What do the acronyms 'LASER' and 'LED' stand for?

LED is "light emitting diode". LASER was originally an acronymn which meant "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation". Easy to see why they'd want to shorten that one.


Who is Heinrich Hertz and what is he famous for?

Heinrich Hertz was an inventor; Hertz clarified and expanded the electromagnetic theory of light that had been put forth by the British physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1884. Hertz proved that electricity can be transmitted in electromagnetic waves, which travel at the speed of light and which possess many other properties of light. His experiments with these electromagnetic waves led to the development of the wireless telegraph and the radio.


How does an LED operate?

LED, which stands for Light Emitting Diode, generate light using a semiconductor material. As the voltage is applied to the semiconductor, the energy that is used by the LED is converted into light energy.Different semiconductors produce different types of light. Red and green were discovered first, followed by yellow, orange, blue and finally white.This is usually Green and No chemicals , dont care, dont know


Why LED is used in the circuit diagram explain with reason?

Without seeing the actual diagram no real answer can be given.LEDs are used to generate light, often as status indicators.


Why should you change away form using incandescent light bulb?

There are other forms of artificial light devices that consume much less power, and generate less heat, such as Halogen, LED, and so forth.


What type of diode produces light when properly biased?

That would be an LED or Light Emitting Diode an LED is a light
