When light passes through a colored solution
placed in a 1 cm thick cell, the ratio of the
incident light to the transmitted light is 1.26 km.
This is equivalent to this ratio for the same
solution when placed in a 2 cm thick cell.

In a cathode ray tube, the "cathode" is a heated filament (not unlike the filament in a normal light bulb). The heated filament is in a vacuum created inside a glass envelope or "tube." The "ray" is a stream of electrons that naturally pour off the heated cathode into the vacuum. The Cathode Ray Tube is powered by an extremely high voltage DC current system and is dangerous! Electrons are negative. The anode is positive, so the anode attracts the electrons pouring off the cathode. The electrons hit the phosphorus screen and generate green photons, which we can see. Safety: The cathode ray discharge tube is not a toy and should be handled with a lot of precaution. An…arrow_forward2. Explain physically why Tin oxide (SnO) is transparent in the visible region.

Analyze the relative cost of incandescent versus LED lighting, assuming that the information in the table below is accurate. Are industry claims of cost savings justified?
