The thought experiment concerns a lamp that is toggled on and off with increasing frequency. Thomson's lamp is a philosophical puzzle based on infinites. It was devised in 1954 by British philosopher James F. Thomson, who used it to analyze the possibility of a supertask, which is the completion of an infinite number of tasks.
Experimental Design Diagram (EDD) is a diagram used in science to design an experiment.This diagram helps to identify the essential components of an experiment. It includes a title, the research hypothesis and null hypothesis, the independent variable, the levels of the independent variable, the number of trials, the dependent variable, the operational definition of the dependent variable and ...
Pearson-Anson oscillator circuit. The Pearson–Anson effect, discovered in 1922 by Stephen Oswald Pearson [1] and Horatio Saint George Anson, [2] [3] is the phenomenon of an oscillating electric voltage produced by a neon bulb connected across a capacitor, when a direct current is applied through a resistor. [4]
The use of a sequence of experiments, where the design of each may depend on the results of previous experiments, including the possible decision to stop experimenting, is within the scope of sequential analysis, a field that was pioneered [12] by Abraham Wald in the context of sequential tests of statistical hypotheses.

The refractive properties of water ensures that the light from the sun that reaches the inside of the bottle becomes omni-directional mimicking an electric light bulb and emitting the same amount of light as a 40–60 W incandescent bulb depending on the amount of solar insolation available. Adding bleach to the water prevents it from turning ...
On July 24, 1874, Woodward and his partner, Mathew Evans, a hotel keeper, filed a Canadian patent application on an electric light bulb. [2] [3] It was granted on August 3, 1874, as Canadian patent number 3,738. [4] Woodward was a medical student at the time. Their light bulb comprised a glass tube with a large piece of carbon connected to two ...
A Crookes radiometer in action. The radiometer is made from a glass bulb from which much of the air has been removed to form a partial vacuum.Inside the bulb, on a low-friction spindle, is a rotor with several (usually four) vertical lightweight vanes spaced equally around the axis.
