1. luminous object: something that produces
its own light
The Moon is bright only because it
reflects the Sun’s light. Therefore, the
Moon is NOT luminous.

2. 1. Incandescence: light that is emitted from a very hot object

4. 2. Luminescence: light that is generated without heating the object
- types:
a) electric discharge
neon lights
sodium vapour lamps

5. Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom

6. LEDs
(light-emitting diodes)‏

7. b) chemiluminescence: light that is produced by a chemical reaction
without a rise in temperature

8. c) bioluminescence: light that is produced by a biochemical
reaction in a living organism

9. d) fluorescence: light that is emitted during exposure of the source
to ultraviolet (UV) light
and mercury
tubular fluorescent
light bulb
compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb

10. Efficiency of Fluorescent Vs. Incandescent Bulbs

11. Even though fluorescent bulbs are 4X as efficient as incandescent
bulbs (20% vs. 5%) , some people don’t like them because:
they find the light from fluorescent
bulbs to be harsh.
these lamps contain small amounts
of mercury vapour, a toxic metal.

12. Because they contain mercury, used
fluorescent lamps CANNOT be thrown
in the garbage.

will take back your used fluorescent
bulbs.

14. e) phosphorescence: light that is emitted due to exposure of
the source to UV light, and that continues
to be emitted for some time in the absence
of the UV light
