Question

1.I don’t know which way to put the batteries in my rear LED bike light. Which of the 2 diagrams below represents the correct way to install the battery?

2.A normal bulb produces light when the battery is connected in either direction. Why is an LED different?

3. What type of light does an LED produce?

White photons – haven’t you seen a white LED bike light.....

Visible light of all wavelengths

Light of basically one wavelength – determined by the energy jump between

conduction and valence bands.

IR radiation only

4.

If I increase the current through an LED light, what changes occur

Light gets brighter and whiter

Light gets brighter and redder in color

Light gets brighter but no change in color

No change in light output, but the LED gets hotter.

No noticeable change.

Explanation / Answer

1)

b) 2) is correct

2) LED means LIght emitting diode,it works on the principle of diode,where as normal bulb work in any direction


3) Light of basically one wavelength – determined by the energy jump between
conduction and valence bands.


4) Light gets brighter and whiter
