  2. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    An object may be not transparent either because it reflects the incoming light or because it absorbs the incoming light. Almost all solids reflect a part and absorb a part of the incoming light. When light falls onto a block of metal , it encounters atoms that are tightly packed in a regular lattice and a " sea of electrons " moving randomly ...

  3. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    Passing white light through a prism splits it up into the several colours of light observed in the visible spectrum between 400 nm and 780 nm. If radiation having a frequency in the visible region of the EM spectrum reflects off an object, say, a bowl of fruit, and then strikes the eyes, this results in visual perception of the scene.

  4. Transparency (graphic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(graphic)

    This image shows the results of overlaying each of the above transparent PNG images on a background color of #6080A0. Note the gray fringes on the letters of the middle image. This shows how the above images would look when, for example, editing them. The grey and white check pattern would be converted into transparency.

  5. Standard illuminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant

    The spectrum of a standard illuminant, like any other profile of light, can be converted into tristimulus values. The set of three tristimulus coordinates of an illuminant is called a white point. If the profile is normalized, then the white point can equivalently be expressed as a pair of chromaticity coordinates.

  6. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

    An example of this phenomenon is when clean air scatters blue light more than red light, and so the midday sky appears blue (apart from the area around the Sun which appears white because the light is not scattered as much). The optical window is also referred to as the "visible window" because it overlaps the human visible response spectrum.

    The outer spiral arcs show components of the evolution of life on Earth. This version uses the official International Commission on Stratigraphy colour scheme for the time scale and the scientific colours batlow colour scheme for life evolution. It has black text in transparent regions for use on light backgrounds.

  8. Rainbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow

    Over most of the disc, scattered light at all wavelengths overlaps, resulting in white light which brightens the sky. At the edge, the wavelength dependence of the scattering gives rise to the rainbow. [5] The light of a primary rainbow arc is 96% polarised tangential to the arc. [6] The light of the second arc is 90% polarised.
