How is a light bulb better for growing plants then a fluorescent?
The light spectrum from an incandescent (a bulb) is closer to the spectrum of the sun than what comes from a fluorescent.
What is a example of phosphorescence?
its the souce of light offered from a tube light.... its white light, with all spectrum of colours
Why does the colors of an object look different under a fluorescent lamp from the way it looks under an incandescent lamp?
differences in the color of light will change the color's appearance as it is seen under fluorescent and incandescent. An incandescent lamp, like the sun, produces a spectrum of light in every color in a wide band, broad enough to cover the entire visible spectrum -- and extending past it to many colors that humans can't see. A fluorescent lamp produces a spectrum of light in a few narrower bands of color. That is why a fluorescent lamp is more energy efficient than a incandescent -- the fluorescent lamp doesn't waste energy producing photons that humans can't see. Some materials (such as white paper) reflect all visible colors equally. They look white in almost any kind of light. Other materials absorb some colors more strongly than other colors. They look colored in "white" incandescent light. If we have a material that reflects most colors equally, except for a narrow band of colors, and that band is in the "dark" part of of the fluorescent spectrum -- it will look the same color as white paper. If we have another material that reflects most colors equally, except for a narrow band of colors that is in one of the bands of colors produced by a flourescent lamp -- that material will look even more deeply colored in fluorescent light than in incandescent light.
Does fluorescent bulb act as grow light?
Plants grow well in the red end of the light spectrum. Fluorescent tubes come in many light outputs. Cool white which is in the blue end of the spectrum down to the warm white which is on the red end. Manufactures make a growlux tube which is used specifically for plant growth. Store meat counters are starting to use these tubes for display lighting as they enhance the red colouring of the meat on display.
What is a line spectrum used for?
The line spectrum is usually used to sort out the atomic fingerprint as the gas emit light at very specific frequencies when exposed to the electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves are usually displayed in form of the spectral lines.
What is the spectrum of fluorescent light?
light bulb
How is a light bulb better for growing plants then a fluorescent?
The light spectrum from an incandescent (a bulb) is closer to the spectrum of the sun than what comes from a fluorescent.
Which of these would be a classic continuous spectrum a rainbow the sunlight a neon light fluorescent light or a glowing nebula?
The answer is Rainbow!...
What is electromagenetic spectrum mean?
band of colours obtained by the diffraction of light
Will a condensed fluorescent bulb work as a grow light for garden?
Only if you buy a "full spectrum" of "grow light" type of compact bulb.
Explain how a spectrum may be obtained from sunlight?
a spectrum can be obtained by a prism.as white light passes through one side the rainbow colors come through the other side
What is a growlight?
A Growlight is a special type of light bulb that is used in horticulture. it tries to mimic the light spectrum produced by the sun - as normal light bulbs (incandescent and fluorescent) do not provide the correct spectrum of light required for healthy plant growth
What is a example of phosphorescence?
its the souce of light offered from a tube light.... its white light, with all spectrum of colours
How a prism can obtain a spectrum of colors?
the prism can obtained coloured of light in prism due to disperion of light
Is the spectrum obtained by an equilateral glass prism pure or impure?
The spectrum is impure, that is, the bands of light will merge together, with no clearly defined boundary.
The light emitted by an incandescent element produces what?
A unique continuous spectrum
Why is a spectrum of colors not obtained when light passes through a glass slab?
The light has to pass through in a way that the colors are separated and refracted, but if they pass through glass and are not refracted in a certain way they will not separate the spectrum
