WHAT IS LIGHT EMMITING DIODE ?

LED is a very commonly used device nowadays we use it in various application because of its small size and,cheap prize its very popular among peoples . we use it even in special television set for screen as LED pixels which is useful for clarity for distance audience . basically it is a diode which is set to be in forward condition .

 

Full form of LED is LIGHT EMITTING DIODE .

As evident from name it is diode who produce photon when voltage is given to it . this type of diode is not made by generally used semiconductor's like silicon and germanium it manufactured by arsenic phosphorus and gallium . various types of color can can be produced by changing quantities of material it made up of . 


WORKING -

Basically it is like a normal diode just difference with it produces light when a forward voltage applied to it . as we know  electron needs energy to jump from lower orbit to higher orbit ,  the working of LED is typically reverse of this process electron releases energy in the form of photon and heat when it fall from higher energy level to lower energy level .

 

So when we set up a forward voltage across the diode the electron present at the N type region flow toward P type region and combines with holes present at the P type region releasing energy in the form of photon and heat . 


This phenomenon is also known as electroluminescence 

PROS - 

1) Small in size hence light in weight .

2) Runs on low power .

3) Take's too little time to response .

4) Life span is comparatively very long with comparison of investment . 

CONS - 

1) Small change in voltage can damage system .

2) Not repairable if once it damaged .

SUM OF INFINITE SERIES BY RAMANUJAN

I n this blog i am going to discuss about something very strange important but strange a master piece from a Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan , who who discovered something mind blowing .   So if i ask you what is the sum of all natural number more likely you will answer  "infinity" and like always genius personalities has something different opinion just like srinivasa Ramanujan . Lets see how                    1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 . . . . . . Became  -1/12 Let's take a infinite series S1 -                     S 1 = 1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1 . . . . . . lets do little maneuver with it like we always do in mathematics -  S1 = (1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1). . . . . .  we are just taking brackets at first on "plus one" and than closing it after...

DIFFRENCE BETWEEN HEAT AND WORK !

H EAT and WORK plays vital role in thermodynamics. Its very common misunderstanding between peoples that they are ENERGY but they are not energy they are medium by which we transfer energy   .  although they d on't seem to be identical because heat   is thermal property and work is mechanical property but they are same  , at microscopic level they both are same phenomenon .     HEAT   They are just moving of molecules , having difference is only , heat is moving of molecules disorderly in any direction OR in other words heat is microscopic collision of molecules . WORK   Work is moving of molecules  in only single direction OR in other words work is m acroscopic push and pulls ( given by product of force and displacement ) . both shares same SI unit as JOULE . We termed work as high grade energy and heat as low grade energy  Because in reversible or irreversible process we can convert work 100 % in heat ...

WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY ?

N anotechnology is the science of manipulation of matter according to our need at the Nanoscale of the order of 10^-2 . it have tremendous possibilities in near future because of its ability of making advance material  with unique chemical property which suits according to condition   .  This term technically first time introduced by physicist Richard Feynman in 1959 in his lecture with topic of There is plenty of room at the bottom . but at that time technology was not enough to implementation of his idea in practical application's . Primarily there is two type of approaches we use to construct anything  - I)  Top-to-bottom approach  II) Bottom-to-top approach Top-to-bottom approach :- when we cutoff resource to make our desirable shape is known as Top-to-bottom approach ; Ex- wooden chair .  Bottom-to-top approach :- when we construct structure by starting from its minute cells to approaching required shape of structure is known...
