Chapter 7, Problem 20E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason due to which semiconductor lasers have become common in many consumer applications is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The distance between two consecutive crests of a wave of light is called the
Materials that have a resistance level between a conductor and an insulator is called a semiconductor.
The diode is a semiconductor device that allows the flow of current in one direction only.

Give some uses of fluorescence in medical field?
When light passes through a colored solution
placed in a 1 cm thick cell, the ratio of the
incident light to the transmitted light is 1.26 km.
This is equivalent to this ratio for the same
solution when placed in a 2 cm thick cell.

- 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.
