Want this question answered?
It is called the Tyndall effect.
First let us remove the word visible from this question and replace it with incoherent, as visible light can be either coherent or incoherent and coherent light can be either inside the visible spectrum or outside it.Incoherent light is random/unordered, e.g. wave phases different, shines in all directions, polychromatic.Coherent light is ordered in one or more ways, e.g. wave phases all synchronized, shines in one unidirectional collimated beam, monochromatic.The difference between light in the visible spectrum or outside it is only whether humans can see it or not, there is no difference in the light itself other than wavelength.
The frequency range of visible light.
No, x-rays are not visible light.
Well, seeing as it seperates visible light, it follows that it only seperates that visible light into the visible spectrum. You can't make radiowaves or UV rays out of visible light.
A powerboat less than 39.4 feet long is anchored at night white light must be visible from all directions.
I believe it is a white masthead light.
If you are operating a powerboat at night your green side light must be visible to boats approaching over an arc of the horizon 112.5 degrees and so fixed as to show the the light from right ahead to 22.5 degrees abaft of the beam on its respective side.
Visible light causes reflection of light in all directions
A white light on a powerboat (that obviously doesn't have a mast) must be displayed so as to be visible from 360 degrees.
This white-colored light that must be visible from all angles is called an anchor light. It is usually situated atop the mast.
The masthead light should be visible in a 225 degree arc centered on dead ahead.
It is called the Tyndall effect.
Visible light causes reflection of light in all directions
A white light used by itself which can be seen in all directions is the anchor light, which means you are anchored. A white used in conjunction with bow lights (green and red) are your navigation lights. The white light indicates your stern ( back of boat). If all you can see is the white light, a boat is either anchored or underway going away from you.
A white masthead light must be shown when a powerboat is operating at night.
This white-colored light that must be visible from all angles is called an anchor light. It is usually situated atop the mast.
