Artificial light is not always as good as natural sunlight. There are a few types of natural sunlight bulbs that come close, only they are still missing several wavelengths that are found in natural light. These wavelengths are necessary for plant growth and vitamin D production in animals.

Science experiments about growing monggo seeds.?

Investigate the effect of different light conditions (natural sunlight vs artificial light) on the growth of monggo seeds. Explore the impact of various watering frequencies (daily, every other day, weekly) on the growth and development of monggo plants. Study the influence of different soil types (potting soil, sand, vermiculite) on the growth rate and overall health of monggo seeds.


What does Wavelenght vs absorbance graph depicts in u-v spectroscopy?

A wavelength vs absorbance graph depicts in uv spectroscopy shows the different colored wavelenths of UV light and how they are absorbed and percieved, and which ones are visible and which ones are not.


Why does the sun appear brighter than a star?

The Sun is much, much closer to the Earth than any other star - eight light minutes vs. four light years for the next nearest star.


Besides hard and soft list to other ways that could be used to divide nonliving things into two groups?

Nonliving things can be divided into two groups based on their natural origin, such as natural vs. artificial, where natural items are found in nature and artificial items are human-made. Another method is by function or purpose, categorizing them into functional items, like tools and appliances, versus decorative items, such as art and ornaments. Additionally, they can be classified by state of matter, distinguishing solid, liquid, and gas forms.


How does the tilt okf eath's axis affect the season's?

It is the combination of tilt and Earth's orbit around the sun that give us seasons. At one position of the orbit, the tilt is such that the northern hemisphere is receiving the most direct light from the sun (summer). Six months later, when the planet has traveled halfway through its orbit with the same tilt angle, the northern hemisphere will be receiving the least direct light (winter). This also accounts for the changing length of daylight vs darkness.

What are the differences in the effects of artificial light vs sunlight on human health and well-being?

Artificial light and sunlight have different effects on human health and well-being. Sunlight provides essential vitamin D, regulates sleep patterns, and boosts mood. Artificial light can disrupt circadian rhythms, leading to sleep disturbances and potential health issues. Balancing exposure to both types of light is important for overall well-being.


What is the effect of sunlight vs fluorescent light on a black bean plant?

Sunlight should make it grow. Flourescent wont do anything.


How does the African violet respond to different kinds of light?

Bright vs. Dim Bright light will cause the center of the plant to grow very tightly, and can cause 'sunburns' on the leaves. Not enough light will cause the leaves to reach up (and look like a celery plant!). Natural light vs. artificial light Some plants seem to do best with natural light, and others only seem happy under regulated artificial lights! You can experiment and see what your plant likes best. The temperature also has an effect on the plants, especially variegated plants!


Can plants live with only artificial light?

Most greenhouses use artificial lighting (or grow lights) to supplement daylight, for instance, to trick the plant into thinking it is a long hot summer day when it is snowing outside. The latest technology uses LED light bulbs, which can be designed to emit the colors of light that best suit photosynthesis, mostly 80% red and 20% blue LEDs rather than trying to emulate the full daylight spectrum. Heating is usually provided by dedicated heaters, so infrared lighting is not necessary. Ultraviolet light has a disinfecting role in natural sunlight, so it may be needed, although there are no studies about its importance in a sanitary controlled environment such as a greenhouse. Plants are not just about chlorophyll though, it is not entirely clear if other light frequency in the daylight spectrum may benefit plant growing for other reasons, especially if growing them totally out of a natural daylight environment. So yes, plants can grow entirely on artificial light, like underground or maybe on the International Space Station, not even in a green house. But apart from marijuana, there is currently no plant that is grown entirely on artificial light, so we don't have sufficient information to tell if just red and blue lights are viable in the long term. LED lighting is also much cheaper to run than other artificial light sources, and the best LED grow light panels are usually assembled in such a way that you can adjust by software the ratio of red vs. blue light, for different stages of the culture (seedlings, flowers), different crops (leafy vs. root vegetables), seasons, regions, etc. Red and blue light does not look strong enough to us, but it is because human eyes are more sensible to green/yellow light. For a plant, these LED lights are plenty, assuming you follow the manufacturer's instructions. LEDs run on DC current, so they are also perfect for DC power sources such as solar panels, reducing the power usage even more than the LED lights in our houses, which require a DC/AC converter and a huge heat dissipator because of heat generated by the converter. I linked a few reputable LED manufacturers' web sites.

What is the effect of sunlight vs lamp light on a flowering plant?

Lamp light will enable the flowering plant to have a photosynthesis rate 8-10 times slower than sunlight. Consequently the plant will produce lesser starch and show minimal growth or flowering. It's even possible that the plant may die.

How did the revolutions of the motor compare when the solar cell was held to an incandescent light source vs the sun as a light source?

The revolutions of the motor were likely lower when the solar cell was held to an incandescent light source compared to the sun as a light source. This is because incandescent light sources emit less intensity and different spectrum compared to sunlight, resulting in reduced power generation by the solar cell and, in turn, fewer revolutions of the motor.


What is the difference between biserial and point biserial coefficient?

Dichotomous variables can be either a discrete/true dichotomy or a continuous/artificial one. Examples of discrete dichotomies are male vs female, dead vs alive. There is no underlying continuum between the groups. Continuous or artificial dichotomies are those which we assume there to be an underlying continuum but we assign individuals to a category based on some arbitrary criterion. Examples of this artificial dichotomy are pass vs fail (based on some cutoff score on a test) or short vs tall (based on some arbitrary height). A point-biserial and biserial correlation is used to correlate a dichotomy with an interval scaled variable. The difference is that the point-biserial correlation is used when the dichotomous variable is a true or discrete dichotomy and the biserial correlation is used with an artificial dichotomy.
