Knowing More On Fluorescent Zinc Sulphide

Zinc sulphide is one of the most common phosphorescent materials. Phosphorescent is a particular type of photoluminescence. Unlike fluorescent substances, phosphorescent material emits focused energy at once. In fluorescence, the desire is instant and generally only visible if the light source is continuously on, such as a UV light. At the same time, phosphorescent material

Knowing More About Ellipses

Understanding ellipses can help in comprehending the mathematics behind four-dimensional objects. An ellipse is a geometric object that serves as the location of the two foci of a set of circles specified by a parameter. It is a curve in a plane surrounding two focus points and has a constant distance between any point on

Interference In Thin Films

Thin-film interference occurs when a lightwave is reflected off two surfaces separated by a distance equal to its wavelength. We witness distinct coloured patterns when light waves that reflect off the top and bottom surfaces collide. During this process, light strikes the border between the two media. With some of it being reflected and some

Focal Length of Spherical Mirrors

A spherical mirror is a unique type of mirror in that it has a round edge. This type of mirror is often used in photography because it gives a more flattering view. Spherical mirrors are often used in architectural and engineering applications because they are less reflective than traditional mirrors and allow a broader range

Focal Length of Concave Mirror and Convex Lens

Increasing the distance between the object and the mirror causes the object’s size to increase until it reaches its original size. A concave mirror is characterised by a reflecting surface that is recessed inwards. The mirror also converges the light to a single point of focus, which is why they are also referred to as
