As for the amout of light that is required it is not regulated however every municipal jurisdiction that regulates building construction has a regulation regarding the amount of window space each living unit must have. In most areas it is 10% of the floor space of that unit, however this may vary depending upon the regulations.Window space can be measured and regulated. Light may possibly be measured but it is impossible to regulate it. Hope this helps. Bob the builder.

Would the amount of light increase decrease or remain the same when lamp is placed across a 120 V dc power line?

When a lamp is connected to a power supply the total amount of light increases.

What amount of energy in a light bulb goes to actual light and how much to just heat?

I took AP Physics this year and from what my teacher told the class, from a light bulbs energy, about only 5% of it is transmitted as light. The other 95% is heat.


What are the uses of total internal reflection?

The 'sparkling' of diamonds is due to the way the diamonds are cut, plus the fact that diamonds have a high index of refraction results in the total internal reflection of light. The high index of refraction means that diamonds have a very small minimum critical angle (recall the diamond to vacuum in the observation table). The minimum critical angle in a diamond is 24.4 degrees. Therefore, a lot of the incident light experiences total internal reflection inside the diamond. A ray of light can reflect several times in the diamond before exiting through the top of the diamond. Fibre optics is a technology that uses light to transmit information along a glass table. To achieve the light not escaping as it travels through the cable, it must have a small critical angle so that the light entering it will have an angle of incidence greater than the minimum critical angle for this medium.


What is the minimum watt of a light bulb 30 40 50 60 or 70 watt for night reading?

40 watts. I did an experiment on this. Go do one and see for yourself. Sheesh. -_-

How exposure system works and affect the image?

Exposure is the combination of aperture and shutter speed. Aperture (measured in f-stops) determines the amount of light that will enter your camera. Shutter speed (measured in seconds) determines the amount of time that the shutter will stay open to allow light to enter.


Where will be speed of light minimum-water or air or vacuum or glass?

The speed of light is minimum in Glass. It is because light travels at minimum speed in solids.


Which circuit can decrease the fluorescent brightness to the minimum amount?

You need to purchase a Fluorescent dimmer switch, no circuit can dim the brightness of the light safely.


Is light a living thing?

Light is not a living thing.


When light waves enter a new medium and bend what occurs?

When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of refraction.


Does light affect the amount of living things in a water environment?

Yes, it does. When the plants get light, they photosynthesis and give out oxygen to the aquatic animals.The animals then give out carbon dioxide to the plants for them to photosynthesis. But if, there is no sunlight, the plants cannot photosynthesis to make food and give out oxygen to the aquatic animals.Both the aquatic plants and animals eventually die. Therefore, the light affects the amount of living things in a water environment.

What advantages does bioluminescence have over incandescent as a way for living organisims to produce light?

Incandescent mean glowing from heat- like a standard light bulb or a fire. That amount of heat would kill a living organism. Bioluminesence produces no heat (like a lightning bug)
