No photons cannot be accelarated as they are already traveling at the speed of light.

Photons travel at the speed of 3 x 108m/s and nothing in the universe can't cross this limit. So, photons also can not be accelerated.

What part of an image intensification tube converts the X-ray image into a visible image?

Input Phosphor. The x-ray image intensifier converts the transmitted x rays into a brightened, visible light image. Within an image intensifier, the input phosphor converts the x-ray photons to light photons, which are then converted to photoelectrons within the photocathode. The electrons are accelerated and focused by a series of electrodes striking the output phosphor, which converts the accelerated electrons into light photons that may be captured by various imaging devices.


Why does uranium shine when exposed to bright light?

The electrons when switch to next higher orbit they need energy to do it they do it by using energy of photons when the photons have equal energy to that required by electron theY absorb it,similarly when the are spelled out the yield out of uranium then they are accelerated to such speed that they emit their energy in showing a spectrum.


How is synchrotron radiation produced?

Synchrotron radiation is electromagnetic radiation caused by radically accelerated particles. Typically, a synchrotron accelerator is used in production of synchrotron radiation.

Why are the photons that emerge from the Sun's surface visible-light photons and infrared-light photons rather than gamma-ray photons?

Photons do not come in different types like infared-photons etc. they are just the wavelength that the photons are at and nuclear fusion just happens to emit photons at a particular wavelength
