I have an Led with the following specifications:
3-3.2 V
Size (mm) : 5mm
Lens Color : Water Clear
Reverse Current (uA) : <=30
Life Rating : 100,000 Hours
Viewing Angle : 140 Degrees
Absolute Maximum Ratings (Ta=25°C)
Max Power Dissipation : 80mw
Max Continuous Forward Current : 24mA
Max Peak...
So in order to describe the phenomenon that we see in those pictures, what is the way you would describe it?
Would this be accurate: "The light refracts through the material, causing it to illuminate."
Is this process known as "total internal reflection"? Or is it called something else? What is the name of this process that causes the entire material to light up even though the light is applied only to one side?
Take a look at the photos so you can see what I am asking about.
Notice how...
