AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on using LEDs for indoor plant growth, specifically focusing on wavelengths of 660, 615, and 461 nm, which are considered efficient for this purpose. A grade 9 student seeks information on the luminous efficacy of these LED types for a space design contest project. Participants emphasize the importance of selecting specific LED models, as their efficiency can vary significantly based on factors like shape, size, and materials. Accurate data on luminous efficacy is crucial for optimizing plant growth. Overall, understanding the characteristics of different LEDs is essential for successful indoor gardening.

I'm a grade 9 student working on s a space design contest. For my project I'm using leds to grow indoor plants. i read that the most efficient leds for growing plant is 660, 615 and 461 nm. does anybody know the luminous efficacy of efficient leds of these types. any suggestions would be helpful thanks

You may have to find the specific LED's you want to use first. The efficiency of LED's could be vastly different depending on the shape, size, materials, ETC.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
