As a physics teacher I should not miss an opportunity to correct a
common error. The sentence: “The light excites an electron and prompts
it to split with its corresponding ‘hole,’ or positive charge.” is
disturbing. Photons do not excite electrons, they excite atoms and
molecules. And electrons do not “split with” holes. Yes, I know the
author is not a scientist; but I can not resist correcting such things.
