OUTCOME
By the end of the lesson you will will be able to identify the different ways light is made and how these are related to the change in momentum of electrons.
Modern lights use different methods of exciting electrons to create light
Lasers uses light trapped to stimulate more light to create coherent in phase light
Synchrotron radiation is created when electrons are accelerated through a magnetic field
LEDs make light when an excited electron falls back from the conduction band to the valence band
