Fluorescent lamp

1) Use my desk lamp for lighting more over the standard dorm lightning since I have a LED bulb in it and gives off ample brightness. -LED bulbs are by far more efficient than fluorescents since they give off more light than heat. These bulbs also seem to be much brighter and I find myself not being strained when I use it as a sole light source. Since my dorm room is already hot, it only seems smarter to use a light source that does not give off a ton of heat as well. Since I live in a single…

2.4.3. Dispersion of Light The fact that the refractive index different for each wavelength of light produces an effect called dispersion. This can be seen by shining a beam of white light into a triangular prism of glass. White light entering a prism is refracted in the prism at different angles depending on the wavelength of light. The refractive index for the longer wavelengths (red) is lower than for the shorter wavelength (violet). This leads to a large angle of refraction for the longer…

have formulas. Germanium hydride’s formula is GeH4. The 4 represents the subscript. A subscript is how many parts it is, so Germanium hydride is 4 parts hydrogen and 1 part Germanium. The uses for germanium are camera lenses, semiconductors, fluorescent lamps, and alloys. Germanium has a total of twenty five isotopes and only five are stable. Germanium’s compounds can cause pain and redness to eyes and skin. The gas form of germanium is heavier then air and may travel along the ground distant…

The authors created the Accelerated Sensor of Action Potentials 1 (ASAP 1) using a green fluorescent protein source on the extracellular side of the plasma membrane to highlight the membrane potential changes as demonstrated by the fluctuation in the fluorescent brightness. Neuronal action potentials generated are monitored up to 200 Hz in frequency using this device. The general purpose of this experiment was to further understand information processing in the brain and how brain activity is…

Various Definitions:-  Rural Area:- In general, a rural area is a geographic area that is located outside the cities and towns. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services define the word "rural" as encompassing "...all populations, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural. Rural areas are also known as 'Countryside' or a 'village' in India. It has a very low density of…

The purpose of this spectroscopy experiment was to determine if the spectra matched the electronic transitions that occur in the hydrogen atom among several other atoms. We used the Bohr model of atomic structure to determine the orbit numbers that correspond with the spectrum emitted by the hydrogen atom. The Bohr model states that electrons will never be found in between states, but rather completely in one state or the other. We used this model to determine the initial n value at which the…

Do you know exactly what the element Argon is? Argon is a colorless, odorless, chemically inactive, monatomic, gaseous element that, because of its inertness, is used for filling fluorescent and incandescent lamps and vacuum tubes. In this paper you will be educated about when Argon was discovered, where it can be found on the Periodic Table, some of its properties, and some of the uses for Argon. Argon was discovered in 1894 by two chemists. The two chemists were Sir William Ramsay, who was a…

Fossil fuels (oil, gas, and coal) have been the pillar of our modern society since the Industrial Revolution. There is no further doubt that fossil fuels have a high density of energy and they are the world’s dominant energy source. Even though these non-renewable resources have a variety of applications like fuel for transportation, electricity, plastic, medicine, and chemicals, they are also the largest emitters of carbon dioxide which causes human health and environmental issues. Every…

I’m always looking to keep my money in my wallet and my savings accounts. But I also like to be comfortable, particularly in my own home during a heat wave. If you’re ready to get proactive and dedicate a little time, you’ll enjoy a much more pleasant summer, minimizing sweat and save energy at home at the same time. Even better, you’ll benefit from these changes in the winter as well. What home improvements have you made to lower the cost of keeping cool in the hot summer months? Add eco…

are randomly connected to the grid. Noise in the electric distribution network is caused by many electric devices, such as halogen lamps, microwave ovens, and other household appliances, impulsive noise is the most problematic noise scenario from the viewpoint of communication and it is produced for example by dimmers, switched-mode power supply units, fluorescent lamps and vacuum…
