ASSIGNMENT #1 – MIDTERM PERIOD

Research the following:

1. What is FLOURESCENCE all about?

Fluorescence is a phenomenon where a substance absorbs light at a

particular wavelength and then emits light at a longer wavelength. The
emitted light has lower energy than the absorbed light. This phenomenon
is used in a variety of applications, including bio imaging, fluorescence
microscopy, and forensic analysis.

2. What is PHOTO CELL?

A photocell, also known as a photo resistor or light-dependent

resistor (LDR), is a type of electronic component that changes its
resistance in response to the amount of light falling on it. When light falls
on the photocell, it conducts electricity and its resistance decreases.
Conversely, when there is no light falling on the photocell, its resistance
increases. Photocells are commonly used in a variety of applications,
such as in light meters, streetlights, and photographic light meters, where
they are used to measure the amount of light present in a given
environment. They are also used in some types of solar cells and in
electronic circuits that require a light-sensitive component.

3. What is PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL?

A photovoltaic cell is a device that converts light energy into

electrical energy. It is also known as a solar cell. When light falls on
 the cell, it excites the electrons in the material, which then flow through a circuit, producing
electrical energy.

4. What is PHOTON?

A photon is a particle of light. It is a unit of electromagnetic

radiation, which has both wave-like and particle-like properties. It has
no mass and travels at the speed of light.

5. What is PHOTON’S THEORY?

Photon's theory, also known as the wave-particle duality, explains the

nature of light. According to this theory, light behaves like both a wave
and a particle. This theory was developed by Albert Einstein and has
been supported by numerous experiments.

6. Elaborate and discuss what is LASER?

LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of
Radiation. It is a device that emits a coherent beam of light through a
process called stimulated emission. This beam of light is monochromatic,
meaning it has a single wavelength and is highly directional. LASERs are
used in a variety of applications, including medicine, communications,
and manufacturing.

7. Give at least five examples about the advantages and uses of LASER.
The advantages and uses of LASERs include:
Precision cutting and welding in manufacturing Medical
applications such as eye surgery and cancer treatment
Data storage and communications Measuring distances
and detecting objects in space Spectroscopy and
chemical analysis Mass-energy equivalence is a concept
developed by Albert Einstein, which states that mass and
energy are two forms of the same thing. According to
this concept, mass can be converted into energy and vice
versa through the equation E=mc², where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light.

8. What is Mass-Energy Equivalence?

Mass-energy equivalence, also known as Einstein's

famous equation E=mc², is a fundamental concept in physics that
relates the amount of energy E contained within a mass m. The equation states that the energy E
of an object is equal to its mass m multiplied by the speed of light c squared (c²). This means that
even a small amount of mass can contain a large amount of energy, as long as it is converted
from one form to another according to this equation.

9. What is Mass defect and Nuclear Binding Energy?

Mass defect is the difference

between the mass of an atom and the sum
of the masses of its individual protons,
neutrons, and electrons. Nuclear binding
energy is the energy required to separate
the nucleus into its individual
components. The two concepts are
related, as the mass defect is a measure of
the amount of energy released during nuclear fusion or fission, which is also known as
nuclear binding energy.
