    Can we learn more about Morse code?

  10. James

    Could a Morse code transmitter be paired with a coherer in a way so that transmissions could be received over larger distances, given you had a way to shut off the light? Or would some amplifier be needed to handle the greater distances?

    Infrared *I think that’s how it’s spelled anyway* can be used for remotes, but I’m aware that not all remotes use infrared signals. What’s the other signal(s)?

    Also, the original LED was red, how did we get all the other colors and shades of LEDs? Or UV (Ultra Violet) lights for that matter?

    How much of charge do you need for the neutrons and electrons to produce infrared light?

    Reply
    • Mika

      From Google:

      You don’t need a specific amount of charge, but rather the movement and energy changes of charged particles (electrons) within atoms or molecules, often excited by heat or other radiation, causing them to emit specific-energy photons (like infrared light) as they shift energy levels; neutrons have no charge and don’t directly cause this type of atomic IR emission, but charged particles within stars (like neutron stars) accelerated by immense fields produce broad radiation.

      P.S. It was no trouble at all. Happy Wednesday, Avery!
