Light is generated when photons are emitted from an atom.

This occurs when an electron on one energy level of an atom falls to a lower energy level.

Which will generate more light on a light bulb a potato or a lemon?

A lemon would generate more light on a light bulb due to its higher acid content, which can create a small electrical current when connected in a circuit with a light bulb. Potatoes have lower acidity and will generate less energy in comparison.


How would you generate plane waves?

To generate plane waves, you can use a coherent light source (such as a laser) and pass the light through a collimating lens to ensure the light rays are parallel. This results in a beam with planar wavefronts. Alternatively, you can use acoustic sources or electromagnetic antennas to generate plane waves in the corresponding wave domains.


How is light related to electricity?

Light and electricity are related through the phenomenon of electromagnetism. When an electric current flows through a material, it can generate light in the form of photons. This is the basis for technologies such as light bulbs and LEDs, where electricity is used to produce light. Additionally, light can also be used to generate electricity through processes like photovoltaic cells, where light energy is converted into electrical energy.


How many current produced in photocell?

The amount of current produced in a photocell depends on the intensity of light that hits the cell. Higher light intensity will generate more current, while lower light intensity will generate less current. The current produced is generally in the range of microamps to milliamps.


When the energy of a light wave is transferred to a particle and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the energy of the light wave is?

converted into thermal energy.

How does Venus's generate light?

Venus itself doesn't generate much visible light. There may be some electrical activity in its atmosphere that generates some light, but it's minimal. The light we see from Venus is mostly reflected light from the sun.


What is different about the light you see from planets?

Its reflected sun light - unlike the stars which generate their own light.


Why does fruit not provide light energy?

Fruit does not provide light energy because it is not a source of light, it does not generate light and glow.


What do lanterns do in Half Life 2?

Lanterns (or lights) are the "light source" that the Source engine uses to generate light for the game. They are very realistic and can generate shadows and can be moved.

What is the difference between fluorescent bulbs and regular light bulbs?

Fluorescent bulbs generate light by using an ionized gas and electrical discharge, whereas regular light bulbs generate light by using heat within the filament contained in the bulb.
