What do you do if you are stabbed with a lead pencil?

You tell your parents or if there's nobody there, either call your doctor. You could either get led poisoning or blood poisoning. But if you get the led out with a pin then you could give it a couple days but if the stab starts to get warm then it might be getting infected. I would put some Neosporin on and if its a big cut then put a band aid on. You see, I just got stabbed with a pencil by my friend and my mom had to get the led out with a pin and it HURT! :(

What determines the frequency and wavelength of light emitted by an LED?

The frequency and wavelength of light emitted by an LED are determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor material used in the LED. When current passes through the LED, electrons recombine with holes in the material, releasing energy in the form of photons with specific frequencies and wavelengths corresponding to the band gap of the material. The composition of the semiconductor material and the manufacturing processes used can also affect the emitted light properties.
