LIGHT EMITTING DIODES Light Emitting Diodes are electronic components that use the flow of electrons to excite materials into emitting photons of light. A diode is a basic electronic component that allows electricity to flow one way only. The discovery of "light emitting" diodes we believe was an accident sometime around 1907 when a diode in an early radio transmitter was noticed to glow when in use. Incandescent bulbs use resistance in a filament to impede the flow of electricity‚ heating

In depth analysis of light bulb can be an enriching experience. Cited by many as the single most important influence on post modern micro eco compartmentalism‚ it is yet to receive proper recognition for laying the foundations of democracy.

To polarize light‚ one can transmit the light through a polariod filter which will only allow light of single polarity to pass. The resulting light will be
