SOURCES OF LIGHT (NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL) @TEACHERZEL

SOURCES OF LIGHT

NATURAL: Natural light sources can come from an object or a living species.  From sources that are natural.

examples:

SUN

MOON

STAR

JELLYFISH

LIGHTNING

BUSH FIRES

FIREFLY

GLOWWORM

ANGLER FISH

DEEP SEA PLANTS

MICROORGANISMS CAN BE CITED


ARTIFICIAL: is emitted by man-made devices that would not occur naturally in nature. Includes things like flash/strobes, of course, but also any street lights, indoor lighting, or other man-made light sources.

INCANDESCENT SOURCES- When certain objects are heated to a high temperature, they begin to emit light. Both infrared and visible light is produced in the process.

LUMINESCENT SOURCES- Light can be produced by accelerating charges in a luminescent material. One common way of doing it is by passing current through the material.

GAS DISCHARGE SOURCE- Passing electricity through certain gases at very low pressure can produce light too.


examples:

INCANDESCENT SOURCES: CANDLES, INCANDESCENT LAMP

LUMINESCENT SOURCES: FLUORESCENT TUBE LIGHT, ELECTRIC BULB

GAS DISCHARGE SOURCES: NEON LAMP, SODIUM LAMP
