Why white light of sun cannot considered pure and uniform?
The white light of the sun cannot be considered pure and uniform because they have different wavelength in different times.
When the wavelength decreases, that's known as a "blue shift", because
the color of any visible light shifts toward the blue end of the spectrum.
That phenomenon is associated with a light source that's moving TOWARD
the observer.
Why does the sun produce a continuous spectrum but the fluorescent lights produce a line spectrum?
The sun produces a (nearly) continuous spectrum (gaseous elements in the Sun's atmosphere absorb certain frequencies, making it not quite truly continuous) because it's emitting light due mainly to its temperature. This kind of radiation is called "black body" or "cavity" radiation, and it's a continuous spectrum.
Fluorescent lights produce light by a phenomenon known as (hold on for the shocking revelation) fluorescence. This kind of radiation is related to transitions between specific electron energy levels, and therefore consists of discrete lines. In old or cheap fluorescent tubes, there might be only a couple of lines. Most modern ones use a mixture of phosphors that emit light at different frequencies, so you might see half a dozen or more lines in the spectrum.
It could be a fuse or yes a short.
They are the same.
Blue smoke on start and when stopped at traffic lights etc?
Your vehicle is burning oil. You may have a blown Oil Ring on one or more of the vehicle's pistons. Or, you may be leaking oil onto the exhaust manifold indicating a damaged gasket.
Why are there no substances that convert visible light into UV?
UV has higher energy (per photon) than visible light.
The n4-n2 transition of hydrogen is in the cyan, with wavelength of 486.1 nm.
blue = als
What colors of light are contained in visible light?
All of the colors that you have ever seen, ever will see, or can imagine, are
classified as visible light.
It's logically absurd to argue that there is anything that can be called "color"
and is not visible, or that any visual stimulus exists that has no color.
Laser is short for Light Amplification by Stimulated Eimission of Radiation. Lasers is basicly made of an active medium that is emitting light when it's so called pumped with energy. This pumping can be electricity, or external light. When a medium is active, such as when a HeNe gas is pumped with electric charge, it radiates light. This light is then placed between two parallell mirrors which makes a virually infinite number of copies of this light between those two mirrors. In the directions angular to these mirror, the light from the HeNe gas is amplified by allowing the photons go back and forth between the mirrors. However, when the HeNe gas is pumped with a seretain amount of energy, there is more active gas-molecules than those inactive which is absorbing the light. This is called the lease threshold, from which point allows the light to be amplified instead of absorbed by its own HeNe gas. So from this point the laser starts to radiate laser light. Some of this light must exit one of the mirrors, so one mirror is not fully reflective, but maybe 90% or so. These lasers is called gas-lasers. Also low efficient lasers. Typically 5 - 10% efficiency. Light pumped solid state laser: A chrystal is pumped with external light. This can be a ruby-chrystal. The ruby, especially synthetic ruby, is a very florucent chrystal that emitts light in all directions when exposed to external high energy light. A flashlamp where most possible of the emitting light is focused into the chrystal, the chrystal will absorb high energy photons, and "convert" these shorter wavelegths into the longer red spectrum wavelenth. The ruby is also placed between two parallell mirrors. See first section for explanation. Diode pumped laser (lets take the green 532nm laser): Also called Yag laser. A laser diode is focused into a chrystal that converts the 808nm laser diode light into 1064nm light (Not visible). This 1064nm light is then radiating another chrystal which is a non linear chrystal. When exposed to this 1064nm light, this chrystal will distort the wavelength by emitting a 2.nd harmonic distortion of the 1064nm light. A 2.nd harmonic distortion is a frequency which is the doubble of the main frequency. Therfor this chrystal will emit 532nm light. Polished ends of this chrystal will reflect the 532nm light to amplify it. Infrared radiation such as 808nm and 1064nm light is filtered to allow only the green 532nm light to pass through the laser apperture. These lasers is very efficient. Typically more than 50% of input energy is radiated as laser light.
What is the distance. Of range of visible light?
The galaxy MACS0647-JD is 13.3 billion light-years away from the Earth and was visible to the Hubble Space Telescope.
pulsar
The field is called "electromagnetic radiation" or "EMR." It encompasses the study of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and ultraviolet radiation.
What term used to describe how light is reflected from a minerals surface is?
Surface reflection is either specular or diffuse.
Is knee lights a neon lights night lights lights under down lights or put on the lights?
there is no absolute answer to this stupid question...here let me think............ yup. nothing weirdyy:)
Neutral light on 1978 goldwing not coming on?
most likely neutral switch but check bulb first neutral switch is located right front under lower frame tube behind exhaust pipes
Why cant you use visible light to see molecules?
because light used to see an object must have a wavelength
What do the diff rent col ores of visible light represent?
Not quite sure what you mean by "represent"; physically, each color has a different frequency, and thus also a different wavelength.
Does X-rays have a shorter wavelength than visible light?
yes, visible rays have wave length from 7000-4000 and X-rays have 10-0.1 in angstroms
either you or a mechanic has to remove the front of the dash and get to the tiny little bulbs back there. Its a pain but if your reasonably mechanical-the bulbs are dirt cheap and its not too hard to remove the dash. Just keep track of the screws removed with a pen and a chart. Otherwise: 1 hour for as mechanic and about $20 in parts {300% mark-up}
What is the definition of light sculpture?
Light sculpture is a type of art that has objects or sculptures that are producing artistic light or sometimes the light itself is being controlled so that it can produce an art form. Artists that are using this type of art in their works are usually visual artist or designers.
How do visible light and infrared energy warm earth?
The Earth and atmosphere absorb the visible and infrared energy and this warms the earth.
Compare to yellow light orange light has?
... greater wavelength, lower frequency, less energy per photon.
What does light rays bouncing off the surface of an object mean?
Scattering if it happens at random and said to be "reflection" if it is stream lined.
