Light is emitted as the electrons move from higher to lower electronic orbitals. How do the electrons obtain energy to move to the higher orbital initially? Would you classify the light producing reaction as having a positive or negative free energy?
When he did this, he was able to detect electrons being emitted from the surface. This was Einstein's explanation: If the energy in light comes in bundles, then one can think of light as containing tiny lumps, or photons. When these photons strike a metal surface, they act like billiard...
Light is reflected from white areas of the paper and strikes the drum below. Wherever a photon of light hits, electrons are emitted from the photoconductive atoms in the drum and neutralize the positive charges above. Dark areas on the original (such as pictures or text) do not reflect ...

In a fluorescent lamp, the emitted light is in the visible spectrum -- the phosphor gives off white light we can see. Black lights work on this same principle. There are actually two different types of black light, but they work in basically the same way. A tube black light is a ...
How is a photon emitted? Why doesn't electromagnetism affect light? How are electromagnetic waves generated? What is the origin of synchrotron radiation in radio galaxies? What are neutrinos made up of? How to reflect infrared light What did Isaac Newton discover about light?
In the latest work,Oliver Matulaof the University of Heidelberg and colleagues provide a general theoretical description of the interaction between twisted light beams and atoms. To do so, they calculate the angular distribution of emitted electrons when a twisted light beam impinges on and ionizes...
The bulb’s Edison-style filament is twisted at the microscale, similar to the twisted wire that Jun Lu holds beside the demonstration. When the length of each twist matches the wavelength of the light emitted by the filament, the lightwaves twirl as they move through space. Credit: Brenda ...

“In principle, even a comparatively low intensity should be sufficient to trigger the switching process.” Converting trions to excitons leads to characteristic changes in the emitted near-infrared light wavelength. Detecting this and converting it into images would be fairly straightforward and could ...
