2. Light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

   Beam of sun light inside the cavity of Rocca ill'Abissu at Fondachelli-Fantina, Sicily. The speed of light in vacuum is defined to be exactly 299 792 458 m/s (approximately 186,282 miles per second). The fixed value of the speed of light in SI units results from the fact that the metre is now defined in terms of the speed of light.

3. Light pollution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pollution

   Light pollution is the presence of any unwanted, inappropriate, or excessive artificial lighting. [1] [2] In a descriptive sense, the term light pollution refers to the effects of any poorly implemented lighting sources, during the day or night. Light pollution can be understood not only as a phenomenon resulting from a specific source or kind ...

4. Attosecond physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attosecond_physics

   High harmonic generation in krypton.This technology is one of the most used techniques to generate attosecond bursts of light. Attosecond physics, also known as attophysics, or more generally attosecond science, is a branch of physics that deals with light-matter interaction phenomena wherein attosecond (10 −18 s) photon pulses are used to unravel dynamical processes in matter with ...

6. Spectrum (physical sciences) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_(physical_sciences)

   The classical example of a continuous spectrum, from which the name is derived, is the part of the spectrum of the light emitted by excited atoms of hydrogen that is due to free electrons becoming bound to a hydrogen ion and emitting photons, which are smoothly spread over a wide range of wavelengths, in contrast to the discrete lines due to ...

7. Crookes radiometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

   A Crookes radiometer in action. The radiometer is made from a glass bulb from which much of the air has been removed to form a partial vacuum.Inside the bulb, on a low-friction spindle, is a rotor with several (usually four) vertical lightweight vanes spaced equally around the axis.

8. Luminiferous aether - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether

   In the 17th century, Robert Boyle was a proponent of an aether hypothesis. According to Boyle, the aether consists of subtle particles, one sort of which explains the absence of vacuum and the mechanical interactions between bodies, and the other sort of which explains phenomena such as magnetism (and possibly gravity) that are, otherwise, inexplicable on the basis of purely mechanical ...
