Light energy to electrical energy?

he electrical energy can be created from light as we know solar energy plates which contains solar cell it actually works on UV rays comes from the sun it absorbs all the UV rays to one point and produces heat and then change it in to the electrical pulses so the next is the photons emitting from the fluorescent tube light it also help to create electrical energy but not in much quantity.As electrical energy can be created from light...............

Can foam flip flops get wet?

yes. as long as it absorbs liquids, it will be fine


How much light can the color white absorb?

White does not absorb light - it reflects all visible light waves, while black absorbs all visible light and reflects nothing.


What does a scosche 500k microfarad do?

When the bass hits in your car the headlights will dim if you have enough power. Installing a capacitor (the capacitor stores power and creates a buffer) absorbs this surge and your headlights don't dim. Not unlike a capcitor in your home airconditioner. Without a capacitor, your house lights would dim when it turned on.


What is the purpose of diode?

Diode is a generic name for many different electronic devices that have 2 electrical connections. The most common one (rectifier diode) will let current through in one direction, but not in the other, but several other "diodes" exist, like the Zener diode that absorbs excess voltage, or the light emitting diode that emits light. Some common devices, such as a a resistance, also have 2 connections but are not traditionally called a "diode". A diode can also be used as a clamp, and as a detector (mixer) in an a.m. receiver.

Are emission lines produced when an atom absorbs a photon of a specific energy?

No. Those would be absorption lines.


Why does a gas give off an emission spectrum when it absorbs energy?

It doesn't. An absorbtion spectrum is produced when it absorbs energy. An emission spectrum is produced when it lets the energy go again. The energy changes are associated with the element's electrons going up to higher energy levels and then dropping down again.


What is meant by coupling magnetic field in electromechanical energy conversion?

Coupling field is link between electrical and mechanical energies in electromechanical energy conversions. If the output is mechanical (motor), coupling field reacts with input electrical energy in terms of Back EMF which opposes the input. Coupling field absorbs energy from electrical system, converts and delivers mechanical energy. If output is electrical (generator), coupling field reacts with input mechanical energy in terms of Magnetic Drag which opposes the input. Coupling field absorbs energy from mechanical system, converts and delivers electrical energy.


Why are solar panels usually in black?

black absorbs the light! and solar power uses the sun! more sun absorption more solar power! I thought the electrical current was produced by short-wave radiation, not infra-red (heat). in fact, as the heat goes up, the efficiency of the solar cell goes down.


Is black the base of colors?

No, black is a mixture of all colors. Color is produced by reflected light is reflected. Like a red object absorbs all colors but red, which is being reflected and is what you see. Black reflects all colors, and whites absorbs all.
