* Red light cameras cause more traffic accidents. The majority of studies and reports done on red light cameras have shown an increase in crashes. The results show an average of a 27% increase in crashes and a 21% increase in injury crashes after red light cameras are installed. These are caused by drivers having to slam on their brakes due to the known presence of the device at an intersection. * Red Light Cameras are used primarily for profit. Most cities use these systems to fund large portions

Isaac Newton (~1665) made up a particle model of light to explain many of the known behaviours of light at that time

Photosynthesis Lab Report Introduction The lights are essential for photosynthesis and it plays a major role. All the food we eat and all the fossil fuel we use is a product of photosynthesis‚ which is the process that converts energy in sunlight to chemical forms of energy that can be used by biological systems. Photosynthesis is carried out by many different organisms but usually by plants and algae. All these organisms convert CO2 (carbon dioxide)

Light and Darkness In the story‚ Oedipus the King‚ Sophocles employs the imagery of light and darkness. Light is associated with understanding‚ and darkness is associated with ignorance.

lesson‚ you need to know a little bit about light. White light consists of all the colors of the rainbow mixed together. Diffraction refers to various phenomena which occur when a wave encounters an obstacle. In classical physics‚ the diffraction phenomenon is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings. Isaac Newton thought that light must be a particle because particles of light that travels in straight lines until they are

Light pollution Light pollution‚ also known as photo pollution or luminous pollution‚ is excessive artificial light. This phenomenon is pronounced around urban centers‚ where city lights diminish the view of stars and planets. In addition to brightened skies around cities‚ light pollution also refers to any outdoor light that creates glare and interferes with the natural night environment. Cause Light pollution results from outdoor lights aimed
