Are satellites luminous or non-luminous?
Non-luminous. Objects which produce light of their own or give out or emit their own light are called luminous objects. Objects which do not produce light of their own, on the other hand, are called non-luminous objects. Luminous objects are objects like stars, sun and other celestial bodies which give out their own light. Objects surrounding us are not such light emitting objects. Therefore, we are surrounded by non-luminous objects.
How can non luminous bodies be made luminous?
by reflecting the light energy
What does lumin mean?
full of light / not full of light
Is a glow in the dark ball luminous or illuminated?
It is a source of light, hence luminous.
What is luminous mean?
ANSWER:Luminous could also mean 'full of light or illuminated'. For example: luminous hands of a clock. Here, luminous denotes shiny or that give light. In the example: luminous room; luminous indicates well-lighted. Something that is clear or easy to understand is also termed luminous. Fro example: luminous prose or luminous theory. Luminous could also mean inspiring, intelligent, or enlightened.
What is luminouse and non-luminouse?
i think luminous means when something gives off light and non-luminous means when something does not give off light.
Is a mirror non-luminous and why?
Yes, a mirror is nonluminous. It does not emit light by itself, it only reflects light emitted by other things.
Is this a correct definition If it cannot reflect light is it nonluminous. For instance fabric cannot reflect light but it does not emit its own light?
No, that is an incorrect definition. Luminous means creating its own light. Non-luminous just means not creating its own light. For instance the Moon is non-luminous. It *does* reflect light. It just does not create its own. Fabric also reflects light. It does not reflect it the same way a mirror does (mostly the light it reflects is scattered) but the fact that you can see the fabric even though it is not emitting light itself means it is reflecting light emitted from other objects. However, it is still non-luminous because it does not create its own light.
What does nonluminous body mean?
Having a non-luminous body means that it is not a see-through body. Many insects have a non-luminous body. Non-luminous body also means an object that cannot reflect light.
What is the definition Luminous?
Answer: emitting or reflecting light
Does a luminous object produce its own light?
A luminous object can reflect light off other light sources. But it can also produce its own light.
What is the definition for Luminous and non luminous?
"Luminous" means emitting light (conveniently measured in units known as Lumens). Synonym would most often be "glowing".
What are some luminous sources of light in the solar system?
The only source of light in the solar system is the Sun.
What is lumens per watt could you give a brief definition about lumens per watt?
Luminous efficacy is a figure of merit for light sources. It is the ratio of luminous flux (in lumens) to power (usually measured in watts). As most commonly used, it is the ratio of luminous flux emitted from a light source to the electric power consumed by the source, and thus describes how well the source provides visible light from a given amount of electricity.This is also referred to as luminous efficacy of a source.
Is the temperature of a luminous flame greater or less than that of a nonluminous flame?
a non-luminous flame- when the air hole of the Bunsen Burner is open"when the air hole is open, more oxygen can enter the burner; therefore, hotter flame will be produced."its color is transparent or blueBlue flames are the hottest flamesa luminous flame is produced when the air hole is closed.."if the air hole is closed, oxygen cannot enter the burner; therefore, least hotter because the combustion is not fully complete with least oxygenA luminous flame has an outer of orange color and an inner of blue.Luminous flames emits more light than non-luminous flames.three things to produce flame1.fuel2.oxygen3.friction or source of sparkLuminous objects emit light. The sun is luminous; the moon is non-luminous.
What is the measured in unit of LUX?
LUX is the measurement of illuminance and luminous emittance from light sources.
Does a candle light reflect light or is it luminous?
It is luminous.
