And it's only one more week, then the days get longer again :-)<BR/><BR/>Hi Quasar,<BR/><BR/>the photon goes straight until it hits something, where it gets absorbed by an atom (i.e. an electron orbiting the nucleus) and probably eventually converted into heat (molecule motion). There is however always the tiny possibility that it leaves your room through the window and Sabine Hossenfelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151209308084588985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-1166006441974852892006-12-13T05:40:00.000-05:002006-12-13T05:40:00.000-05:00arun, thanks!photovoltaic cells are said to trap s...<B>arun,</B> thanks!<BR/>photovoltaic cells are said to trap sunlight, but they really catch the energy from sun 'light'<BR/>which can then be excited to create 'new' light or <EM>photons</EM><BR/><BR/><B>Bee,</B> so where does the 'light' (photon) from my monitor go, when I switch it off - to sleep in nevernever land?QUASAR9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00593390598251093182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-1165975153396370842006-12-12T20:59:00.000-05:002006-12-12T20:59:00.000-05:00You can have a solar cell, a rechargeable battery ...You can have a solar cell, a rechargeable battery and a light.
