  2. Incandescence (novel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescence_(novel)

    One review compared Incandescence to "a not particularly enthralling lecture on the process of scientific discovery, combined with the physics of a black hole". [4] Another reviewer described much of this criticism as "trite received opinion" and said the book had "hints of greatness and pleasing moments" but its structure was "a failed literary experiment" and ultimately rather dull.

    Port with the disembarkation of Cleopatra in Tarsus (1642), by Claude Lorrain, Musée du Louvre, Paris. Light in painting fulfills several objectives like, both plastic and aesthetic: on the one hand, it is a fundamental factor in the technical representation of the work, since its presence determines the vision of the projected image, as it affects certain values such as color, texture and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_art

    Light Art is a fairly new construction, as a mirror translation from Dutch or German: Lichtkunst. The pioneers of light art, being devoted to it, felt the necessity to give it certain names in order to distinguish their art from any other genres of art like painting, sculpture or photography.

    In 1761, Ebenezer Kinnersley demonstrated heating a wire to incandescence. [8] However such wires tended to melt or oxidize very rapidly (burn) in the presence of air. [9] Limelight became a popular form of stage lighting in the early 19th century, by heating a piece of calcium oxide to incandescence with an oxyhydrogen torch. [10]

    This visible glow is called incandescence. Thermal radiation is one of the fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer , along with conduction and convection . The primary method by which the Sun transfers heat to the Earth is thermal radiation.

  7. Artist's book - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist's_book

    Artists' books are books or book-like objects over the final appearance of which an artist has had a high degree of control; where the book is intended as a work of art in itself. — Stephen Bury [ 3 ]

  8. No, the incandescence can only be seen in the tiny overexposed sparklets. There is no perfect timing involved, just opening up the shutter and blowing some iron filings into the flame. The relation between temperature and color does not become clear in the picture and the flame having such a prominent role in the frame could lead to ...

    As the definition does not fully describe the phenomenon, quantum mechanics is employed where it is defined as there is no change in spin multiplicity from the state of excitation to emission of light. [2] Phosphorescence, traditionally defined as persistent emission of light after the end of excitation. As the definition does not fully ...
