Hydrogen, like all elements, have a characteristic distance between energy levels. The atom can only accept photons of energy that match that distance and then that light is emitted. 500 nm does not match the wavelength of light that matches the wavelength corresponding to the energy gap in hydrogen.

How do you measure light intencity?

Measure Light Intensity using Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) The resistance of the Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) varies according to the amount of light that falls on it. The relationship between the resistance RL and light intensity Lux for a typical LDR is RL = 500 / Lux Kohm With the LDR connected to 5V through a 3.3K resistor, the output voltage of the LDR is Vo = 5*RL / (RL+3.3) Reworking the equation, we obtain the light intensity Lux = (2500/Vo - 500)/3.3 For a low cost LDR, at the same light intensity, the part to part variation in resistance can be as high as 50%. Therefore such a low cost LDR is seldom used for measuring light intensity but more for light presence/absence detection.


Which island was used to test the hydrogen bomb?

The first hydrogen bomb test was Ivy Mike on the island of Eugelab in Eniwetok atoll. The device was a cylinder 80 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter weighing over 500 tons. The yield was 10 megatons. Eugelab ceased to be an island and became a water filled crater. This crater was later used for other lower yield hydrogen bomb tests in other series.
