  2. Hyfrecator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyfrecator

    The hyfrecator does not require a dispersive return pad, referred-to in the electrosurgery field as a "ground pad," or "patient plate," because the hyfrecator can pass a very low-powered current between forceps tips via bipolar output, or pass an A.C. current between one pointed metal electrode probe and the patient, with the patient's self ...

  3. Crookes radiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

    The reason for the rotation was a cause of much scientific debate in the ten years following the invention of the device, [1] [2] but in 1879 the currently accepted explanation for the rotation was published. [3] [4] Today the device is mainly used in physics education as a demonstration of a heat engine run by light energy.

  4. Phosphorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence

    In a modern, scientific sense, the phenomena can usually be classified by the three different mechanisms that produce the light, [further explanation needed] and the typical timescales during which those mechanisms emit light. Whereas fluorescent materials stop emitting light within nanoseconds (billionths of a second) after the excitation ...

  5. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    The materials used for the LED have a direct band gap with energies corresponding to near-infrared, visible, or near-ultraviolet light. LED development began with infrared and red devices made with gallium arsenide. Advances in materials science have enabled making devices with ever-shorter wavelengths, emitting light in a variety of colors.

  6. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    If unalloyed GaN is used in this case to form the active quantum well layers, the device emits near-ultraviolet light with a peak wavelength centred around 365 nm. Green LEDs manufactured from the InGaN/GaN system are far more efficient and brighter than green LEDs produced with non-nitride material systems, but practical devices still exhibit ...

  8. Photo-oxidation of polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-oxidation_of_polymers

    This plastic bucket has been used as an open-air flowerpot for some years. Photodegradation has made it brittle, causing part of it to break off when the bucket was moved. In polymer chemistry, photo-oxidation (sometimes: oxidative photodegradation) is the degradation of a polymer surface due to the combined action of light and oxygen. [1]
