Chapter 7, Problem 48E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The color of the laser which would be appropriate in removing the red port-wine stain is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Absorption spectroscopy is a technique of measuring the absorption of radiation. The color of any substance depends on the respective colors of the light absorbed and reflected by its molecules or atoms.
Light has both particle and wave properties. Hence, it has dual characteristics.
The
In the visible region, white light contains the spectrum of wavelengths ranging from

Cathode Ray Discharge Tube Demonstration
An Exploration
(Because of the DANGER involved and the fragile nature of the device, this is a demonstration
rather than a true Exploration)
Background information:
Until recently, almost all televisions used a device known as the cathode ray tube, or CRT, to display
the images. In a cathode ray tube, the "cathode" is a heated filament (not unlike the filament in a
normal light bulb). The heated filament is in a vacuum created inside a glass envelope or "tube." The
"ray" is a stream of electrons that naturally pour off the heated cathode into the vacuum. The Cathode
Ray Tube is powered by an extremely high voltage DC current system and is dangerous! Electrons are
negative. The anode is positive, so the anode attracts the electrons pouring off the cathode. The
electrons hit the phosphorus screen and generate green photons, which we can see.
Safety:
The cathode ray discharge tube is not a toy and should be handled with a lot of precaution. An…
