What kind of light is emitted by growing lights?

The light that is emitted by growing lights is a light that can closely mimic that light and warmth of the sun. These lights are considered HID lights and emit a more intense light than a florescent light.


What is the color of light related to?

The color of light is related to its frequency or wavelength.


What is meant by the term spectral emission?

Refers to the color of light emitted by a phosphor.


Why are colored lens used?

To change the color of the emitted light. Also to reduce and tint incoming light - such as sunglasses.


Why is static electricity blue?

Intensity of spark determines the color of the light emitted. Y-THINK-Y


The color of the light is determined by its?

Wavelength, or alternatively its frequency.


What is the colour of a black body?

The term "black body," as related to "black body radiation," is a hold-over from the study of such light during the 1800s. BBR is emitted from any object that has a temperature. Such an object can be of any color.


What is happening when objects that emit light give off heat?

The most common way light is emitted is by the so called thermal emission, like for example normal lamps or the sun. In this case a certain amount of heat is emitted while emitting light. Naturally the object can also be cooled much sooner for example with a cooler (if it is not the sun naturally :-) ). Since the color (frequency) of the emitted light depends on temperature while the object cools the emitted light changes color from blue to yellow to red to infrared and so on down to microwaves. There are however other means of emitting light exist, by laser effect for example. In this case the effect of cooling is strictly related to the type of laser material and optical pump used and it seems to me out of the scope of this short answer to discuss this point.


What is an line spectrum?

When the gases or vapors of chemical substances are heated by electric spark , light is emitted The color of the light depends on the substance under investigation.


What is the mixture of light?

Any color. The mixture that closely matches sunlight is called white.


Why do you see color when you burn a metallic salt?

During the burning process, electrones shift between different energy levels. Returning from a higher to a lower energy level, electromagnetic waves (light) are emitted. Depending on what substance was burned, waves of different length are emitted, i.e. light of different color is radiated.


What color it emitted by potassium?

In a flame test, the color released by potassium is lilac, which is a light purple. K is the symbol for the chemical element potassium, and its atomic number is 19.
