Light

Light

  • Photobiology
    Photobiology is the scientific study of the interactions of light (technically, non-ionizing radiation) and living organisms.
  • Tired light
    Tired light is a class of hypothetical redshift mechanisms that was proposed as an alternative explanation for the redshift-distance relationship.
  • Sunset
    Sunset or sundown, is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the western horizon as a result of Earth's rotation.
  • Photodegradation
    Photo-degradation is the alteration of materials by light.
  • Sunrise
    Sunrise or sun up is the instant at which the upper edge of the Sun appears over the eastern horizon in the morning.
  • Sayana
    Sāyaṇa (Kannada; with honorific Sāyaṇācārya; died 1387) was an important commentator on the Vedas.
  • Light
    Light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • Luminous intensity
    In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye.
  • A Slower Speed of Light
    A Slower Speed of Light is a freeware video game developed by MIT Game Lab that demonstrates the effects of special relativity by gradually slowing down the speed of light to a walking pace.
  • Speed of light
    The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics.
  • Right to light
    Right to light is a form of easement in English law that gives a long-standing owner of a building with windows a right to maintain the level of illumination.
  • Standard illuminant
    A standard illuminant is a theoretical source of visible light with a profile (its spectral power distribution) which is published.
