What happens to light as it moves away from its source?
It dims......Nikki
What causes an overhead light bulb to dim when a small dry vac is plugged into a wall outlet in the same room and turned on?
This light bulb may be on the same line as the vac. 1. Even if the dry vac is, let's say 300W, when it starts up it uses at least twice as much energy. If light dims and then goes back to normal, it's perfectly normal. 2. When light bulb dims and stays dim while operating dry vac, unplug it and never use in the same room again; it uses too much energy for the size of the wire and can cause overheating of wiring and fire! == == <><><> If the wiring is modern, check the connections on every device on that breaker or fuse. If you have a meter check the voltage at the receptacle with the vac and the light. <><><> There are two possibilities, depending on the details of the fault: 1) The bulb dims momentarily when you start the vacuum, then returns to normal brightness even while the vacuum is operating. This is normal, as previously stated. The reason for this is that the limiting factor to current flow in a motor is the counter-voltage created by the running motor. [It actually works as a generator!. If you jam the motor so it cannot turn, the current flow through what is now an unimpeded conductor can be high enough to trip the circuit protective device!] ... and reduce the available voltage to any parallel connected device to the voltage across the motor! In this case, the resistance value of your circuit conductors can be the only significant load on the circuit [low resistance=high current!] 2) The bulb dims and stays dim throughout the operation of the vacuum. There is something wrong with the circuit ... loose connection, partially open service neutral, partially broken wire, bad plug, dodgy breaker, etc. ... and the defect is part of the load, causing a voltage drop across the defect and your series connected motor! [voltage drop=energy usage=heat at the defect] In this case, the bigger the load, the worse it looks!
At what distance would a supernova of absolute magnitude -20 look as bright as the sun?
Sun apparent mag -26.37. The super need to be closer than 10 parsecs. 6.37/2 Mags. ( light dims by a square law. 5 mags= 100 . 1 Mag 2.5118, 3.19...uh 18.9 closer. 1.7LY?
If a dimmer switch will not turn off completely and one dims the lights off with the dimmer switch is there a chance of causing an electrical fire at the switch?
Your question is a bit unclear and vague, but if you have a dimmer switch and you turn it all the way to its lowest setting then the switch should not fail because of that. If there is nothing wrong with your electrical system then using a device exactly how it was designed to be used then there is no reason why it would catch on fire.
What happens to the brightness of the view when you go from low to high power?
The field of view DIMS as you go to a higher power -- here's a basic explanation: Each time you increase the "power" of a microscope, you are looking at a smaller and smaller area. The LIGHT from this area gets evenly divided across your entire field of view -- so you are actually seeing less area and therefore, less light in your field of view.
What causes a star to dim every 3 days?
A star that dims every three days would likely be a binary star system. Such a system consists of two stars that orbit their mutual center of mass. If their orientation is right then, from out perspective, one star will periodically block the other from view, reducing the amount of light we see from them.
How do you switch on the roof light in Chrysler neon?
On the left lever, where you turn your head lights on, there is another rotating switch, it dims and brightens the dash lights. If you turn that switch till you hears click the light will come on
How does the Hermione Granger illuminating wand work?
The wand has a type of LED on the end and is powered by two AAA batteries, the LED brightens and dims, the batteries are stored inside the wand itself, so this makes it thicker than the normal wands.
Why are Stars are brighter when they are seen from the moon?
No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.
When headlights are on electric dash dims in 1992 Jimmy?
That is normal. The dash dims so at night you are not distracted by a bright light in your face
What does f1 do on a laptop?

Where is the dimmer switch in a 1993 Mercedes 190?
Center of the speedometer control on the driver's dash. Two round, black knobs. Push each and gently spin to see what each does. One dims or brightens the interior operators light (speedometer's panel lights), one resets the trip millage meter (not the car's main millage) and the other allows you to reset the clock. Have fun!
Why does your cluster dash lights flicker on 2000 ford focus?
You might try moving the little adjustment wheel that dims and brightens the dash lights. It is connected to an electrical rheostat that might have become a little corroded over the years. "Exercising" (adjusting) the brightness up and down several times might be enough to re-establish a good, non-corroded, contact. Good luck.
