By the National Electrical Code a red wire connects the switch to the load.

The only way to be sure is to use a volt meter: one lead to the red wire and the other to ground-the ground wire or metallic junction box; then operate the switch to see volts/no volts.

The other wire should be neutral. Check this with an ohmeter to ground. There should be continuity at all times.

The hot lead from the switch has to go to the center contact in the bulb holder, and the neutral to the bulb threads otherwise one can get shocked when changing the bulb; again use the ohmeter, but only on unpowered circuits. A volt/ohmeter can be bought for about $10 at a hardware or big box H-W store.

How do you rewire a wall switch to control both ceiling fan and light. The switch currently furns the fan on and off but the light has to be controlled with a pull chain?

Open up the ceiling box and disconnect the blue wire coming from the light and connect it to the black wire coming from the fan. Be sure and put a wire nut on the wire where the light was connected before you removed it. The wall switch is controlling power to the wire where the fan is connected so when you connect the blue fan wire to that connection you will be sending power to both the fan and light from the wall switch.


What object can absorb and emit a continuous spectrum?

Anything white. At least within the visible spectrum. The incident light is absorbed and re-emitted with little or no change. This is why a white wall appears red in a red light, yellow in a yellow light, etc. In contrast, a colored wall, say red, will actually appear black in blue light since all of the incident light is absorbed.


Does the blue eye color of Siberian Huskys have a genetic effect on their ability to not get snowblind?

Siberian huskies CAN have that, but it's nowhere certain. Borders collies can certainly have one blue and one brown eye, particularly when they have a wider than normal white stripe down the centre of their forehead. This is called a "wall eye". The dog still has perfect vision in both eyes.
