Visible-Light Curing in Dentistry
An essential part of modern dentistry is visible-light curing (VLC), a procedure that hardens the restorative materials used in fillings, veneers, and other applications. These “curing lights" work by activating molecules known as photoinitiators within the restorative materials The photoinitiators, in turn, start a process of

An intense beam of light cures or hardens, the restorative material used to fill a cavity. (Problems 109, 110,111, and 112)
The most common photo initiator is camphoroquinone (CPQ). To cure CPQ in the least time, one should illuminate it with
More recently, VLC units have begun to use LEDs as their light source These lights stay cool, emit nearly all of their energy output as visible light at the desired wavelength, and provide light with an intensity as high as 1000 mW/cm2, which is about 10 times the intensity of sunlight on the surface of the Earth.

- Laser vision correction often uses an excimer laser that produces 193-nm electromagnetic radiation. This wavelength is extremer strongly absorbed by the cornea and athletes it in a manner that reshapes the cornea to correct vision detects. Explain how the strong absorption helps concentrate the energy in a thin layer and thus give greater accuracy in shaping the cornea. Also explain how this strong absorption limits damage to the lens and retina of the eye.arrow_forward(a) What is me ratio of the speed of red light to violet light in diamond, based on Table 25.2? (b) What is this ratio in polystyrene?

Also calculate the force that could be produced and how much effect that would have on a spacecraft. Among the things to be considered are the intensity of sunlight, its average wavelength, the number of photons per square meter this implies, the area of the space sail, and the mass of the system being accelerated.arrow_forward
- Integrated Concepts (a) During laser vision correction, at brief burst at 193 nm ultraviolet light is projected onto the cornea of the patient. It makes a spot 1.00 mm in diameter and deposits 0.500 mJ of energy. Calculate the depth of the layer ablated, assuming the corneal tissue has the same properties as water and is initially at 34.0°C. The tissue’s temperature is increased to 100°C and evaporated without further temperature increase.

A camera records the diffraction pattern on a screen as the droplets pass in front of a laser, and a measurement of the size of the central maximum gives the droplet size. In one test, a 690 nmnm laser creates a pattern on a screen 30 cmcm from the droplets. If the central maximum of the pattern is 0.30 cmcm in diameter, how large is the droplet?
