- Which of the following is not a true statement about LED-based lights? LEDs achieve their full output in about 200 milliseconds. LEDs require a much smaller space so they are much less intrusive in the trunk. LEDs have a long operating life. LEDs provide a more precise contrast and signal pattern, thus attracting attention much more effectively.arrow_forwardExplain how faults influence the trapping of oil and gas.arrow_forwardWhat is the advantage of a photodetector that uses a reflector to operate?arrow_forward
