What objects give light in the home?
Lamps of various kinds (ceiling lamps, standard lamps, desk lamps, table lamps, etc.); also, candles, torches, TV and (most) computer screens, LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes; e.g. the power light on a TV or computer), and anything that gets hot enough to glow, so the heating elements of electric cookers and ovens and some electric heaters also fit into this category. You could include luminous objects like the luminous (sometimes radioactive) paint on the hands of some analogue clocks. Oh, and of course the Sun as well - it probably provides drastically more light than any other source in most homes. I guess other stars also contribute, but not so much that you'd notice. Although whether these celestial objects even count as answers to your question depends on exactly what you mean by 'give light in the home.' I can't think of any others. Hope this helps :)
What is the increase in brightness of light is called what?
It gets brighter (at least until it burns out)
Is the sun's energy radiation?
Yes, the sun's energy is primarily emitted as radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. This energy is produced through nuclear fusion reactions in the sun's core and then radiates outwards in all directions.
Where does the sun get its energy from and how does it make or get energy?
The sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms in its core combine to form helium, releasing a huge amount of energy in the process. This energy is in the form of heat and light, which is then emitted into space.
What is the difference between the light from the sun and light from the moon?
The sun produces its own light when it transforms hydrogen into helium. The moon gets its light from the sun. It doesn't produce light. The brightness that we see on the moon is a reflection of the sunlight.
How hot is the average tanning lamp?
The average temperature of a tanning bed gets to be around 100 degrees fahrenheit. Depending on whether you are using UVA or UVB lamps they can control how fast you tan and how dark you become.
What is the relationship between the Kelvin temperature and the color of light emitted by an object?
The relationship between the Kelvin temperature and the color of light emitted by an object is that as the temperature increases, the color of the light emitted shifts from red to orange, then to yellow, white, and finally blue as the temperature gets hotter. This is known as blackbody radiation, where higher temperatures correspond to shorter wavelengths and bluer light.
What type of light build glows when a filament inside it gets hot?
Electric lamps having incandescent filaments.
Is mercury used in lights?
There are several types of lights using mercury:Mercury-vapor lamps use mercury to generate Ultraviolet light for tanning lamps. With a suitable phosphor the UV is converted to visible light. These lights are now baned and have been replaced with metal halide (e.g. sodium} lightsFluorescent lights, both the large tube types and new compact fluorescent bulbs, excite mercury vapour to generate UV and convert it to visible light with a phosphor coating. The new smaller bulbs use fraction of the mercury and no liquid mercuryBlue "neon" lights can use an argon mercury misture
What turns the street light on and off?
Most street lamps have a sensor to trigger it on and off. When it gets dark, the light turns on. When it's light, it turns on. Lasers can turn them off at night because the beam is so bright.
What energy is being emitted from a flashlight?
The chemical energy stored in batteries gets transformed sets into electrical energy through the wires. This then gets transformed into light energy that you see.
How are neon lamps different from filament lamps?
filament lamps have a wire with high resistance, meaning that electricity doesn't pass through it well. As the current passes through the filament the wire gets hot and glows, giving off light and heat. Since the wire is in a vacuum sealed bulb there is no oxygen so the filament doesn't burn up. neon is a gas that "fluoresces" (gives off light) when an electric charge is passed through it. a neon light has a tube filled with neon and in either end is an anode. the transformer and capacitor build up a charge of electricity that zaps from one end to the other and as it passes through the gas, about 60 times per second, it causes the gas to emit light, but not much heat.
Stored energy in a flashlight and batteries becomes light energy when the flashlight is turned on?
Yes, when a flashlight is turned on, the stored chemical energy in the batteries is converted into electrical energy, which then gets converted into light energy by the bulb. The light energy is what we perceive as the beam of light emitted from the flashlight.
Is there a sensor that controls the day light running lamp?
Most vehicles use a light sensor to detect the ambient light level and automatically turn on the daytime running lamps when it gets dark. This sensor is usually located on the dashboard or near the rearview mirror.
Why did you burn so quickly in the tanning bed?
The wavelength in the emitted radiation on a tanning bed are more conducive to burning, in your case, then the wavelengths you would see under the natural lighting of your area. IN a tanning bed you can get tan in 10 min what would take you a hr in the sun... The reason being that the lights are bright and hot and surround you and are very close to you... What is happening while you are tanning is you are literally being cooked from the inside out... so think of a tanning bed as a giant oven. That is why you should not tan for too long or else you can die... I love my tanning bed... If you have one and plan on tanning daily you want to start of with a few min a day then after a few days go up a few more min and so on that way your body gets used to it... If you just go in there after not tanning in a while and tan for lets say 20 - 30 min your more likely to have a sun burn rather than a tan and it is more dangerous as well.
How color of light is related with surface temperature?
The color of light emitted by an object is related to its surface temperature through a principle called blackbody radiation. As an object gets hotter, it emits shorter wavelengths of light, shifting from red to orange to white and eventually blue as the temperature increases. This relationship is described by Wien's displacement law.
What is tanning effect?
Tanning is a result of exposure to sun rays. When skin gets exposure to UV rays melanin production increases. There are number of methods to remove tan, but it can take long.
