  2. Wood's glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood's_glass

    Wood's glass is special barium - sodium - silicate glass incorporating about 9% nickel oxide. It is a very deep violet-blue glass, opaque to all visible light rays except longest red and shortest violet. It is quite transparent in the violet/ultraviolet in a band between 320 and 400 nanometres with a peak at 365 nanometres, and a fairly broad ...

  3. Halogen lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp

    A halogen lamp (also called tungsten halogen, quartz-halogen, and quartz iodine lamp) is an incandescent lamp consisting of a tungsten filament sealed in a compact transparent envelope that is filled with a mixture of an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen, such as iodine or bromine. The combination of the halogen gas and the tungsten ...

  4. Sodium-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-vapor_lamp

    A sodium-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses sodium in an excited state to produce light at a characteristic wavelength near 589 nm. Two varieties of such lamps exist: low pressure and high pressure. Low-pressure sodium lamps are highly efficient electrical light sources, but their yellow light restricts applications to outdoor ...

  5. Violet (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_(color)

    Violet is at one end of the spectrum of visible light, between blue light, which has a longer wavelength, and ultraviolet light, which has a shorter wavelength and is not visible to humans. Violet wavelengths are between approximately 380 and 435 nanometers. Violet objects often appear dark, because human vision becomes less sensitive at ...

  6. Hue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue

    In color theory, hue is one of the main properties (called color appearance parameters) of a color, defined technically in the CIECAM02 model as "the degree to which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are described as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet," [1] within certain theories of color vision.

  7. Fluorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence

    White light-emitting diodes (LEDs) became available in the mid-1990s as LED lamps, in which blue light emitted from the semiconductor strikes phosphors deposited on the tiny chip. The combination of the blue light that continues through the phosphor and the green to red fluorescence from the phosphors produces a net emission of white light. [79]

  8. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    Color temperature is a parameter describing the color of a visible light source by comparing it to the color of light emitted by an idealized opaque, non-reflective body. The temperature of the ideal emitter that matches the color most closely is defined as the color temperature of the original visible light source.

  9. Color rendering index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index

    Color rendering index shown as color accuracy. A color rendering index (CRI) is a quantitative measure of the ability of a light source to reveal the colors of various objects faithfully in comparison with a natural or standard light source. Color rendering, as defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), is the effect of an ...
