Incandescence
Process of producing light as a result of high temperature
Electric discharge
Produced by electric current passing thru a gas, causes gas to glow
Phosphorescence
Absorbs UV light and then emits visible light over time
Flourescence
Material absorbs UV light & immediately emits visible light
Chemiluminescence
Production of light as the result of a chemical reaction w little to no heat produced
Bioluminescence
Production of light in a living organism, result of a chemical reaction w little to no heat produced
Light emitting diode (LED)
Produces light when electric current flows thru it
Produces less heat
Doesnt require filament
Incandescent light bulb
Produces more heat, can get v hot
Uses more energy, most energy turned into heat
Uses thin wire of filament
what is light
Electromagnetic wave
Doesnt need medium
Transferred through radiation
Medium
any physical substance that can transfer energy
Radiation
Method of energy transfer, doesnt need medium to transfer energy, energy that travels at the speed of light
Electromagnetic wave
Wave that has both electric & magnetic parts
No need 4 medium
Travels at the speed of light
Visible light
Any electromagnetic wave that the human eye can detect
Visible spectrum
Sequence of colors that makes up white light
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
Electromagnetic spectrum
Spectrum of different types of electromagnetic waves based on the energy of the waves
Whats in the electromagnetic wave spectrum in order?
radio waves, micro waves, infrared, visible light, ultra violet, x rays, gamma rays
