Re: Why is light not affected by magnetic fields?

Okay. Fair enough. Back to the situation of alternating field interference - can a wavelength be.. 'accelerated'.. to a wavelength of higher intensity without changing the output of the source, such as a beam from a laser? My thoughts, to put it simply, are to construct a resonance device that compounds so that a weak wavelength (such as radio &/or laser pointer) would end up an intense wave out the other end. I understand E's determination that light is as fast as light can go. Thank you for reminding me.

This may seem pointless, however, due to the fact that the energy required to do so may far exceed both the source and the product combined. The thoughts are of using such resonance to harness such energies found in nature *ie Sun*

Am I a hopeless dreamer? or could there be light at the end of the tunnel, no pun intended.

I am somewhat familiar with how photovoltaic cells work -- this is unrelated. More of a refocusing/amplification of a weak source to a strong product.

If this sounds unfocused or inconclusive I guess sum me up as asking "What if?"

: ( Could be the 101.2F fever I got going on too...

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
