1.1 INTRODUCTION
Visible light is the form in which electromagnetic radiation with wave lengths in a particular range is interpreted by the human brain. Visible light is thus by definition comprised of visually-perceivable electromagnetic waves. The visible spectrum covers wave lengths from 380 nm to 750 nm.
All electromagnetic radiation is light, but only small portion of this radiation can be interpreted by the human – this portion is call as visible light. Visible light covers from violet with shortest wavelength, at around 380nm, and up to red with longest wavelength, at around 750 nanometers. Fig 1.1: Visible Spectrum Showing Wavelength

The program is stored in ROM (read-only memory) and generally does not change.
Microcontrollers are often low-power devices. A desktop computer is almost always plugged into a wall socket and might consume 50 watts of electricity. A battery-operated microcontroller might consume 50 mill watts.
A microcontroller has a dedicated input device and frequently (but not always) has a little LED or LCD display for output. A microcontroller additionally takes information from the device it is controlling and controls the device by sending signals to distinctive components in the device.
A microcontroller is regularly little and minimal effort. The segments are decided to minimize size and to be as inexpensive as possible.
A microcontroller is regularly, but not always, ruggedized somehow. The microcontroller controlling an car's engine, for example, needs to work in temperature extremes that a typical computer generally cannot handle. An car's microcontroller in Kashmir districts needs to work fine in -30 degree F (-34 C) climate, while the same microcontroller in Gujarat district may be working at 120 degrees F (49 C). When you include the warmth normally created by the engine, the temperature can go as high as 150 or 180 degrees F (65-80 C) in the engine compartment. Then again, a microcontroller embedded inside a VCR hasn't been ruggedized at
The absorbance and the maximum wavelength of all eight standard solutions were determined using the same spectrophotometer in this section. First, approximately 3 mL of each solution was added into a cuvette using a plastic pipette. The solution was added until the level reached the frosty part of the cuvette and any bubbles were dislodged by gently tapping the cuvette against a hard surface. Then, a Kimwipe was used to clean the exterior of the cuvette. Once cleaned, the cuvette was transported by only holding the top edges.
The wavelength of light emitted by sodium light sources is made up of yellow wavelengths from 589.0 - 589.6nm so no colour version is possible. These lights may not be ideal at night time this is because, the human eye cannot function fully in the photopic state, and its colour sensitivity shifts to the scotopic night vision conditions. This phenomenon is known as the Purkinje shift. Herein lies a deficiency of our measure of light because it is based on the normal daylight sensitivity curve of the eye.
Unit D Summary: Light and Geometric Optics 10.1 : Light and The Electromagnetic Spectrum Chapter 10.1 covers light and the electromagnetic spectrum. This chapter starts off by describing how light is a form of energy that travels in waves. The properties of said waves include a crest (the highest point of the wave), the trough (the lowest point of the wave), and the rest position (the level of a wave without energy).
Trichromatic Ultraviolet and ROYGBV (visible light) Infrared and visible – small heat
Information in the RAM can be read and written quickly in any order. Usually the RAM is emptied every time the computer is turned off. It is known as 'volatile memory'. 1.8.2 ROM (Read-Only Memory) ROM is a memory chip where crucial system instructions (BIOS) are permanently stored. The data held on ROM can be read but not changed.
Radiation- the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization. 13. Sunlight is a form of radiation that is radiated through space to our planet without the aid of fluids. 14. The sun transfers heat through radiation of space.
Before the sun is up, a woman is scrambling around her house, searching for a clean dress to wear. It has not rained the last few days, so she has had to cut her shower to only three minutes and hasn’t been able to do the laundry that has started to pile up. The woman finds the proper outfit — a blue, floor-length dress and a white bonnet that she ties under her chin. She peeks out of her bedroom window, the first burst of sunlight now streaking across the black water.
Looking at the Dakota prisoner of war letters we can see society through a lens that is often hidden in historical records, that being the perspective of Native Indians. The Natives, who occupied the land now known as the Midwestern United States, were treated like animals and savages by the European settlers who were continually moving west. The Dakota POW letters show that much like the European settlers, the Natives were a society with families and values that shouldn’t be treated different because of their heritage. David Faribault Jr. (also known as Four Lighting) argues that the Dakota people deserve to be treated as equals and human, and shouldn’t be prosecuted for “bad deeds” committed by other tribal members. The Dakota POW letters
Light absorption occurs when atoms or molecules take up the energy of a light and reduces the transmission of light. The absorbance will increase with an increase in concentration while the transmittance will decrease with an increase in
Have you ever wonder how does a crime scene investigator, known as a CSI, discover blood spatter on different fabrics, which is not visible to the human eye? The key is bluestar. According to the article “Influence of Bluestar Reagent on Blood Spatter Stain of Different Fabrics” by Arnon Grafit, bluestar is a “luminol-based reagent that is applied by spraying on surface.” Not only that, but “it helps obtain DNA and to analyze spatters patterns. By analyzing the article the reader is able to understand how bluestar works through the rhetorical techniques used.

War has always divided people and changed the way they must live their life. This was no exception for Marie-Laure LeBlanc and Werner Pfennig. During this time of crisis, they were both forced to make drastic changes in their lives. World War 2, had two sides, the Allies, and the Axis powers. Werner Pfennig was on the side of the axis powers while Marie-Laure was a strong supporter of the allied cause.
we can visibly see ultra violet rays via sun tanning beds, black lights, and welders. another form of light is light that we can see eg, sun light, is one type

Zoe Wicomb’s novel, Playing in the Light (2006), is set in the 1990s in Cape Town, South Africa, post apartheid. The novel revolves around Marion, the protagonist, and her intricate relationship with Brenda, the first person of color she has ever employed at her travel agency business. This post apartheid novel offers interesting and an insightful viewpoint of South Africa following the fall of apartheid. By analyzing the passages in this novel, one will be able to better understand race in the context of South Africa.
