问题        Most sources of illumination generate light over an appreciable period, and indeed if
   an object is lit for a very brief time(less that 1/25 second), the human eye will not react
   in time to see the object. A photographic emulsion---that is, a light-sensitive coating on
   photographic film, paper, or glass--will, however, record much shorter bursts of light. A
(5) photographic flash can therefore be used to capture high-speed movement on film as well
   as to correct deficiencies of the normal surrounding lighting. Photoflash is now generated
   electronically, but the earliest form, first used in 1864, was a paper bag containing
   magnesium wire and some oxygen-rich substance, such as potassium chlorate. When the
   bag was ignited, the metal burned with an intense flash. A contemporary observer reported
(10) that "this quite unsafe device seems to have done nothing worse that engulf the room in
   dense smoke and lead to pictures of dubious quality and odd poses."
       The evolution of the photoflash was slow, flashbulbs, containing fine wire made of a
   metal, such as magnesium or aluminum, capable of being ignited in an atmosphere of pure oxygen
   at low pressure, were introduced only in the 1920’s.In the earliest type, the metal
(15) was separated from the oxygen by a thin glass bulb. The dash was fired by piercing the
   bulb and allowing the oxygen to come into contact with the metal, which ignited
   spontaneously. Later bulbs were fired by an electric battery, which heated the wire by
   passing a small current through it. Other combinations, such as the pairing of oxygen
   difluoride with zirconium, have also been used. In each case enough energy is given out to
(20) heat the oxidizable metal momentarily to a white-hot emission of visible light. The smoke
   particles are so small that they cool rapidly; but since they are white, they contribute to the
   brilliance by reflecting the light from their still-glowing neighbors. A slightly bigger form
   of the metal will burn for a longer time.
