APPLICATIONS
OF LIGHT
Application of Light
Usage of light in
optical fibres, in
medical uses and
telecommunications
Cleaning robot detects obstacles
Semiconductor optical
sensors to detect the light
emitted from flame are used
for managing safety of hot
water heaters and heating
appliances for home use.
Supporting automotive
functions
Various optical sensors are used for
automobiles, such as car touch panel
switches, detection of surrounding light
level and day & night sensing of
headlamps, transmitter/receiver on
MOST network, and detection of
surrounding light level of auto anti-
glare mirrors.
Atmospheric observation by
Laser beam
Color/proximity sensors are used
on devices such as smartphones
to adjust image quality of the
display, control turning on and
off of the touch panel functions,
and display incoming calls.

OF LIGHT
USES
Uses of Light in
Our life and Its
Importance and
significance
1. Food:
Photosynthesis is a concept in
biology where in food is synthesized
by see of light. Light is the sole
source of food generation for all
living organisms on the earth. Except
for a few chemotrophic bacteria
almost all living beings depend on
light for their food and energy.
2.Maintenance of temperature:
Provide
vision for various
movements for all animals
7. Drying and evaporation:
Sunlight helps in drying of soil, forests, air
and rocky surfaces due to its ability to heat
up. Also it helps water evaporate from
oceans and water ponds. This drying is
helpful in two ways to life on earth like
8. Sterilization:
Light especially it ultra violet component is a good
sterilizing agent. Haven’t you noticed in a super market
or hospital the use of UV lamps. These UV lamps are
good sterilizers. The UV rays kills the microbes in the air
keeping the area sterile. So UV light is classified under
dry method of sterilization.
Sunlight
is an efficient sterilizing agent. When blankets
and other hospital mattress are dried in sunlight, all the
microbes get killed.
9. Solar energy
