Light Essays & Research Papers

Visible light (commonly referred to simply as light) is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light is usually defined as having a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometres (nm), or 400×10−9 m, to 700 nanometres – between the infrared, with longer wavelengths and the ultraviolet, with shorter wavelengths. These numbers do not represent the absolute limits of human vision, but the approximate range within which most people...

Light I | | INTRODUCTION | Light, form of energy visible to the human eye that is radiated by moving charged particles. Light from the Sun provides the energy needed for plant growth. Plants convert the energy in sunlight into storable chemical form through a process called photosynthesis. Petroleum, coal, and natural gas are the remains of plants that lived millions of years ago, and the energy these fuels release when they burn is the chemical energy converted from sunlight. When animals...

Torches were originally invented in the stone-age by primitive cave men. Torches were made from wood and fire. As man evolved, so did the torch. Over time they became more sophisticated by using rags soaked in gasoline until Thomas Jefferson invented the light bulb – which is used in torches today. Different materials used for torches today include: Rubber Plastic Metal As technology progresses, torches have become smaller, more powerful and durable. They have been made powerful so that if...

Light is just one portion of the various electromagnetic waves flying through space. The electromagnetic spectrum covers an extremely broad range, from radio waves with wavelengths of a meter or more, down to x-rays with wavelengths of less than a billionth of a meter. Optical radiation lies between radio waves and x-rays on the spectrum, exhibiting a unique mix of ray, wave, and quantum properties. At x-ray and shorter wavelengths, electromagnetic radiation tends to be quite particle like...

Light From personal experience I would say light within architecture is what makes you feel uplifted as you walk into a room or a space. Light can be controlled and manipulated within certain spaces by adding light or having an absence of light. Light can completely change the dynamics of a room or space and can also have a very strong effect on the mood. Light within architecture can either be natural or synthetic, both creating a special experience within a room. In my research I...

In light reactions, the goal is to transfer solar kinetic energy to chemical potential energy. This is first done by the absorption of a photon of light. Plant pigments are molecules that selectively absorb light energy at wavelengths. A pigment molecule absorbs a photon of light one of pigments electrons jumps to an energy level further than the nucleus. The electron has more potential energy here. The electron now has raised from the ground state to an excited state. Pigments of photosynthesis...

My Green Light My green light is an ambiguous entity, consisting of multiple forms, each day varying from the next. This ever-changing pattern in my life is possibly a result of a void left behind from my childhood, as my parents had never encouraged or raised any desire to strive for a goal in me. As such I now have an inability to create a permanent goal for myself. My green light, in short, lacks conviction - it is deprived of the motivation required to maintain my interest, and...

The Nature of Light itself –Robert Bateman We are accustomed to light that we see, and use, everyday of our lives. Light from the Sun, bounced off the Moon & Planets, the stars themselves, light bulbs, microwave ovens, heating in our homes. Most of us are familiar with visible, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays as flavors of light. Radio uses a form of light also. But what is light, and how does it behave? Light, better known as photons, are infinitely small particles with high energy....

Polarized light are those that are vibrating in one direction- in a single plane such as up and down. Those that are vibrating in more than one direction -- in more than one plane such as both up/down and left/right -- are called unpolarized light. Generally, unpolarized light can be considered to be vibrating in a vertical and a horizontal plane. To polarize light, one can transmit the light through a polariod filter which will only allow light of single polarity to pass. The resulting light...

Chapter II Light and Matter The Inner Workings of the Cosmos 2.4 The Distribution of Radiation All microscopic objects – fires, cubes, people, and stars – emit radiation at all times. They radiate because the microscopic charged particles in them are in constant random motion, and whenever charges change their state of motion, electromagnetic radiation is emitted. The temperature of an object is a direct measure of the amount of microscopic motion within it. The hotter the...

Of course, we live in an imperfect world and not all surfaces are smooth. When light strikes a rough surface, incoming light rays reflect at all sorts of angles because the surface is uneven. This scattering occurs in many of the objects we encounter every day. The surface of paper is a good example. You can see just how rough it is if you peer at it under a microscope. When light hits paper, the waves are reflected in all directions. This is what makes paper so incredibly useful -- you can read...

Scattering of Light | The scattering of light is an important observation in our daily life. The way light scatters off molecules in the atmosphere explains why the sky is blue and why the sun looks red at sunrise and sunset. This is because of the scattering of light. | | | Tyndall Effect A beam of light or laser, invisible in clear air or pure water, will trace a visible path through colloidal particles. This is known as the Tyndall effect after its discoverer, the 19th-century...

Dispersion Of White Light by a Glass Prism: When a beam of white light is passed through a glass prism, it is split up into a band of colours called spectrum. This is called dispersion of white light. The spectrum of white has the colours violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red (VIBGYOR). The red light bends the least and the violet light bends the most. A rainbow is a natural spectrum appearing in the sky after a rain shower. It is caused by the dispersion of sunlight by...

Speed of Light Determining the speed of light is something that has been a very long and trying process. No one scientist could determine such a thing. Galileo was the first noted scientist to attempt experimentation on the speed of light. Other famous scientist, such as, Roemer, Foucault, Fizeau, Michelson, and Einstein added their own discoveries to the collage of information gathered through the years. Every scientist performed their experiments differently based on the knowledge and...

2-8 Refraction and polarization of light 5. Experiment Results A. Linearity of light 1. The light beam does go straight when we tested on the angle board. 2. As the source of light beam was getting farther away from the slit, the beam becomes narrower and shorter in addition to fading. This is because light particles escape more when they travel to go through the slit. B. Law of reflection Angle of incidence is the angle formed by a ray incident on a...

1 September 2009 Darkness, “Sonny’s Blues”, and Light “Sonny’s Blues” by James Baldwin is about two brothers, Sonny and the unnamed narrator. The story chronicles a part of their lives. It begins with Sonny’s drug arrest. The tale then travels back to Sonny’s teenage years and ends up with Sonny living with his brother after his arrest. The story uses imagery throughout the tale. One of the most used is that of the contrast of light and darkness. This becomes the theme of the...

The Potential of Language Light can take on many different forms, some more prominent than others. This concept is explored through the poem, “The Grammar of Light”, written by Carol Ann Duffy. The title itself is a metaphor as the term ‘light’ is being compared to language and how it can be structured in several different ways. As grammar is the study of how language is structured, Carol Ann Duffy uses the structure of light to emphasize language’s potential and/or its limitations. Because...

Essay 1: Light and Color The fascinating properties of light are not all detectable to humans, because our reference is mostly limited to what we can see. In order to determine the atomic/molecular composition of a fluid or gas, one must consult an emission and absorption spectrum. The properties of this spectrum include also waves, which can be any length, and define the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Ranging from gamma rays to radio waves, an electromagnetic spectrum includes...

THE NATURE OF LIGHT Until the time of Isaac Newton (1642–1727), most scientists thought that light consisted of streams of particles (called corpuscles) emitted by light sources. Galileo and others tried (unsuccessfully) to measure the speed of light. Around 1665, evidence of wave properties of light began to be discovered. By the early 19th century, evidence that light is a wave had grown very persuasive. In 1873, James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves and...

Four kinds of artificial light sources for photography Light, is the main ingredient in a photograph. There are of course other ingredients: time, composition, subject matter, emotion and your unique style, but light is the thing that makes photography work. Light is the thing that early inventors had to hold or fix, in order to make a photograph stick around. We call nature’s light, natural or available. Think of sunlight or moonlight. There are four common types of artificial light...

The absence of light There is no darkness, only the absence of light. You cannot measure the dark; it is a measure of illumination, or in some cases, a lack of it. This point stands in both a physical and metaphorical state. Imagine a pitch-black room, if I were to ask you “what do you see?” would you say “the dark”? How can you see darkness? You can’t. You notice that there is an absence of light. In the same way, when we judge someone to be, in essence, evil, that is just how we perceive...

The Green Light The green light at the end of Daisy’s dock is a significant symbol within the book. To Gatsby, the green light represents his dream, which is Daisy. To attain her would be completing Gatsby’s American Dream. The first time the green light is seen in the novel is also the first time Nick sees Gatsby. Fitzgerald writes, “…he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced...

Introduction: Photosynthesis can be defined as light energy being converted into chemical energy, which is a very important process for plants and other organisms. Light can be described in terms of light quantity and light quality. Both of these have an affect on photosynthesis. The more light a plant absorbs the more the plant is able to photosynthesize. This light is absorbed though pigments which have specific interactions with certain light waves (colors). The goal of my first...

The Effect of Light Intensity The effect of different light wavelengths was tested in the following experiment. The rate of photosynthesis can be affected depending on the light treatment it receives. With the aid of DPIP acting as NADPH in photosynthesis, it was possible to observe the reaction as it took place. Samples were created with dark, 24 cm, 30 cm, and 49 cm light treatments. The absorbance was measured in five-minute intervals for each sample and recorded in an appropriate...

The Power of Light A Candle light is the most primitive of lights, but it serves a different purpose than illuminating a room in The Glass Menagerie, written by Tennessee Williams. Williams uses the contrast between light and darkness to symbolize and emphasize the powerful moments that occur in the play. Although Williams uses these mechanics, the candle light of course has deeper meaning within the context of the story. Being the weakest of lights, the candle light is easily...

What is natural light? Natural light falls into one of two categories. First is daylight which is all around us and comes from an overcast of the sky, it is nondirectional so no matter which way a window is facing it will pick up day light but sunlight is directional. Clearly sunlight comes from a particular place and that light mores during the day. That is the key which bring about the animation of life to the spaces within a building. Natural light is a fundamental element of architecture....

“Life without light” Journal Article #3 “Life without light” Light is extremely important to this world. It is especially important to the food chains as it is the crucial source and starting point of it. Without light in the food chain it would be incomplete and plants and animals would have to get their source of energy from somewhere else, I don’t know where or what. It is needed for photosynthesis and this is needed for human beings to survive. Without it everything would go “wrong”!...

SOUND Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear. All sounds are vibrations traveling through the air as sound waves. Sound waves are caused by the vibrations of objects and radiate outward from their source in all directions. A vibrating object compresses the surrounding air molecules (squeezing them closer together) and then rarefies them (pulling them farther apart). Although the fluctuations in air pressure travel...

"If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward" believed Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison was a pioneer of history; he changed the world with his ingenious invention of the light bulb. Back in the days, people had to use candles, flashlights and even had bed times. Life without the light bulb was very difficult and certainly changed many people’s lives. The invention of the light bulb had major impact...

Introduction For this Science assignment, I chose to find out if the color of light a plant receives, affects the plant growth. Light is electromagnetic radiation that comes in waves, the basic units of which are called photons. Plants use light to turn carbon dioxide into sugars necessary for growth, a process called photosynthesis. Sunlight is a full spectrum of different wave lengths of light. Seen through a prism, this spectrum turns into bands of color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue,...

Photosynthesis Lab Report Introduction The lights are essential for photosynthesis and it plays a major role. All the food we eat and all the fossil fuel we use is a product of photosynthesis, which is the process that converts energy in sunlight to chemical forms of energy that can be used by biological systems. Photosynthesis is carried out by many different organisms but usually by plants and algae. All these organisms convert CO2 (carbon...

Its weird how some people don’t question the things that are obvious to us. The things we see, how do we see it? What makes it visible to us? Is it only because we have eyes, or is there another factor. The great Aristotle explained it by having something in our eyes that emits “something” to an object and that’s why things are visible to us. Another question we could ask from our daily life is that how come we can hear? What is it that we hear? Why do we hear it and deaf people don’t? How do we...

The Analysis of Light and Dark Imagery Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables, uses many qualities of symbolism which help develop the novel’s main ideas. Darkness is the emblematic “color” of the Pyncheon’s. Contrasted with its opposite, light, it forms one of the major symbols of the novel: the opposition of dark and light. Hawthorne uses dark imagery throughout his novel to express a sense of decay, but he also uses light imagery to inject...

ESS Internal Assessment: Lab Report Aim: The aim is to measure the rate of photosynthesis of an aquatic plant (Cabomba species) at different light intensities. Hypothesis: If the distance between the lamp and the plant increases the rate of photosynthesis decreases because the plant requires light for photosynthesis to occur. Variables: Independent: The independent variable for this experiment is light intensity. In each trial the distance between the plant and the lamp will be increased,...

Arul Prasath .K School of Electronics Science, VIT University, Vellore - 632014, TamilNadu, India Arulprasath.kvit01@gmail.com; Abstract This paper deals with the discussion of mass and energy in light. Light consist of very less amount of mass that it could not be measured. This paper is based on the concept that when the mass of light is increased it can move the objects. So, the light with increased mass can be used in many applications in practical life such as producing electricity....

The discovery of the light bulb Finally the bell rings everybody running toward homeroom I take my time and pack my books away. We just watched a video about Virginia part of the 13 colonies back then in history class. Since I was the last one to leave my teacher Mrs.Trovato said “did you enjoy watching the video?”I quietly respond yes and start wondering about how people survived back then. When I came back from school I changed my skinny jeans and...

Part I. Question 1 Aristotle uses two methods to prove light cannot travel. Besides his empirical explanation, where he observes that for the supposed motion of light to go “unnoticed from where the sun rises to where it sets is asking too much” (418b26), he also provides an argument that is understood through the “light of reason.” (418b24) To understand his contention we must refer to his definitions of light and the transparent. The transparent is, for Aristotle, the medium of sight; it is...

Compound Light Microscope The familiar compound light microscope is a series of lenses (hence "compound") that focus visible light in such a way as to produce a magnified image. A single lens, often called a magnifying glass, cannot generally magnify images as much as a series of lenses although Antony van Leeuwenhoek, the first microbiologist, used a simple, albeit exquisitely crafted, lens to discover single-celled "animalcules," as he called them. Advantages: Basic compound light...

Light and Dark Throughout “A Rose for Emily,” William Faulkner brings out two different sides of peoples conception about Miss Emily. In the story there is a light side and a dark side. “she has evidently shut up the top floor of the house.”(795) The men of the town attend Miss Emily’s funeral for public reasons, but the women attend just “to see the inside of her house.”(787) The inside of her house was never seen making it dark and mysterious, but when she passed everyone let the light into...

Hope Hope is what keeps us moving on even though everything may seem to be lost. Hope is like a light in the tunnel, showing us the way out of the dark and unpleasant place. Hope is what changed my life forever that fateful night… Ever since that incident, I had been confined in a wheelchair, always needing to depend on others for support. I had lost all hope that time, thinking that I was never going to stand and use my own legs again. I hated everything, including myself, having to...

Photosynthesis 1. Would you illuminate your house plants with a green light bulb? Why or why not? It would not be a wise choice to put a plant under a green light bulb. The reason for this is that due to the fact that the leaves are green they reflect green light. This shining green light onto the flowers will cause photosynthesis to stop. Since the light is being reflectd, the cells do not get any light. With out light they cannot carry out the everyday occurrence of photosyntesis. If...

Guernica In 1937, Pablo Picasso painted Guernica, oil on canvas. The Republican Spanish government commissioned the mural for the 1937 World Fair in Paris. Guernica is a large mural, twenty-six feet wide and eleven feet tall, and was placed at the entrance to Spain's pavilion. Picasso did not do any work after receiving the commission until reading of the bombing of the Basque village of Guernica, in Spain. It was that attack, perpetrated by the German Luftwaffe, that inspired him. Guernica,...

Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of The Scarlet Letter, felt that the Puritans were people who believed that the world was a place where the battle between good and evil was a never-ending one. Throughout the novel, Hawthorne uses the symbols of light and dark to depict this battle among the characters Hester Prynne, Pearl, and Roger Chillingworth.

After Hester commits her sin, her beauty almost immediately vanishes into darkness. Her hair no longer hangs freely about her face, instead she...

Mr. Tracy 7th Grade Science 7 May 2012 The Effect of Light on Snapdragon Flowers Introduction: It is a well-known fact that plants need light for nourishment, yet many people are ignorant of the reasons behind this. The biological process by which green plants utilize carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to form their own food is called photosynthesis (unknown). Past research has demonstrated that red and blue rays maximize this process (Rothenburger, 1993). The purpose of this experiment was...

Research question : How does the different light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis in plants? Objective : To investigate the relationship between different light intensity (by having the source of light at different distance to the plant discs which is at; 10cm, 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, 30cm, and 35cm ) and rate of photosynthesis of plant. Introduction : Photosynthesis is the process where light energy is absorbed by green plants to convert the raw materials (carbon dioxide and water)...

Theology 101 Father Viscardi 9 December 2013 "Light" John 12:35 The English language is a funny thing. Words sound like other words and some words have numerous meanings, while some have only one. In the gospel of John, the word light comes up more than enough times to bring it to one's attention. Not only does the word show up a lot in the gospel of John, but it displays different meanings at different times. In chapter one verse four (1:4) it shows the meaning of light as the spirit and...

LIGHT IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS Theory: Leaf discs float normally. When the air spaces are infiltrated with the solution the overall density of the leaf disc increases and the disc sinks. The infiltration solution includes a small amount of sodium bicarbonate. The bicarbonate ions serve as the carbon source for photosynthesis. As photosynthesis proceeds oxygen is released into the interior of the leaf which changes the buoyancy – causing the discs to rise. Since cellular respiration is taking place...

Without color or light, art would be nothing; we wouldn’t be able to see or distinguish anything. Light allows us to see the space about something; when it casts a shadow on something we know the size of something. Without color we wouldn’t be able to differentiate between anything. It allows us to see the edges of something which in turn allows us to form the relationships in size and space. Colors can also be used to accomplish a diverse sense of feelings. For example, artists can use colors...
