Which is most important in the use of a camera photofl ash unit, the intensity of the light (the energy per unit area per unit time) or the product of the intensity and the time of the fl ash, assuming the time is less than the shutter speed

intensity of the light (the energy per unit area per unit time)

Explanation:

The photoflash capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor that is also used in flash cameras, professional illumination and solid-state laser supply. Their general purpose is to briefly power a high-voltage flash tube, which can be used to illuminate photographic material or to alternately pump a laser rod. Since the flash tube requires very little time to operate, photoflash capacitors are designed to supply high discharge current pulses without excessive internal heating.

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.

It won't lose or gain electrons if it's a covalent bond it shares the electrons with another atom or atoms. if it is an ionic bond it will lose the 3 electrons on the outer shell and become a positively charged ion.  credit goes to @sunshinebaby of answers.yahoo.com.
