“Sources of Light”
Fire – “rapid oxidation of a combustible material”– heat and light are emitted in the process
Flame– visible light-emitting part of a fire– complete combustion → blue color– incomplete combustion → yellow color

Flames from a charcoal fire750-1200 °C
Candle flame1100 °C
Incandescence is the emission of visible light from a hot body due to its temperature.
– means “to glow white”– heat and light are emitted in the process– incomplete combustion → yellow color
Dr. Mike Nofziger 2010
“Sources of Light”
Incandescence produces a blackbody spectrum of energy:– described by the Planck function– light output is only a function of temperature, T– the higher T, the more light out– the higher T, the peak shifts to the blue– our SUN (T=6000K) and stars are “perfect” blackbody
radiators

“Sources of Light”
Tungsten (“Incandescent”) Light Bulbs– tungsten filament– resistive to the flow of electrical current– electrical energy converted to thermal energy– filament heats up, incandesces (emits light)

Tungsten-halogen Bulb2500-3100 °C filament400-1000 °C bulb wall
“Sources of Light”
Tungsten-halogen Light Bulbs– tungsten filament– trace amount of halogen vapor, iodine or bromine– bulb made of fused quartz, >1atm pressure– tungsten deposited back onto the filament (halogen cycle)– longer lifetime of the filament
Dr. Mike Nofziger 2010
“Sources of Light”Tungsten bulbs: Light output
– watts or lumens?– we “see” lumens, not watts
New labeling by 2011“Brightness”
Dr. Mike Nofziger 2010
“Sources of Light”Tungsten bulbs: Light output
– a 100W light tungsten bulb converts only 10W into visible light
– 90 watts are “wasted” as heat – need more efficient sources of light – the sale of tungsten light bulbs will be banned in
the US by the year 2014

Dr. Mike Nofziger 2010
LED – Light Emitting Diode– solid-state, semiconductor p-n junction– GaAs, AlGaAs, GaP, AlGaInP, GaN, InGaN,etc.– White light : Blue or UV diode w/ yellow phosphor– 3mm, 5mm, or 8mm dia. plastic packages
“Sources of Light”
Low-Power LED’s 1-20mA of electrical current “on/off indicators”
High-power LED’s 500mA to >1A Lumileds, Osram, Cree Lighting!! Replace incandescent bulbs

Fluorescent Lamp—old style- tube is typically straight, 1.5-8 ft. long- tube filled with low-pressure Hg vapor- pressure ≈ 0.3% atmospheric- inner surface coated with a fluorescent coating- use large, heavy magnetic ballasts

“Sources of Light”Compact Fluorescent Lamp “CFL”—new style- tube is a shaped in a spiral- inner surface coated with a fluorescent coating- use lightweight, electronic ballast- standard Edison screw base (replaces light bulbs)- long-term cost savings compared to tungsten light bulbs- very little heat produced compared to tungsten light bulbs- lifetime depends on how you use it…. ?

“Sources of Light”Arc Lights- 2 electrodes separated by a small gap containing a gas- flow of electricity between the electrodes ionizes the gas- light produced from the ionized gas
Carbon-rod electrodes, air gap, no glass housing:→ “Carbon Arc Lamp” (no longer used, historical)
“arch” “arc”
Tungsten electrodes, quartz envelope, gas:neon, argon, xenon, krypton, mercury, metal
halide→ “High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps”
