Cherenkov radiation glowing in the core of the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory. Cherenkov radiation (/ tʃ ə ˈ r ɛ ŋ k ɒ f / [1]) is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium (such as distilled water) at a speed greater than the phase velocity (speed of propagation of a wavefront in a medium) of ...
An example of bloom in a picture taken with a camera. Note the blue fringe that is particularly noticeable along the right edge of the window. Bloom (sometimes referred to as light bloom or glow) is a computer graphics effect used in video games, demos, and high-dynamic-range rendering (HDRR) to reproduce an imaging artifact of real-world ...
Nitrogen glow Oxygen glow Electrical discharge in air Particle beam from a cyclotron. Ionized-air glow is the luminescent emission of characteristic blue–purple–violet light, often of a color called electric blue, by air subjected to an energy flux either directly or indirectly from solar radiation.
When negotiations for other networks to pick up GLOW fall through due to K-DTV owning the TV rights to the characters, Ray proposes to have the promotion moved to Las Vegas (which was the home of the original GLOW series) as a live show, claiming that GLOW has the potential to be a headliner and make at least $25,000 a week.
Here's a breakdown of how and why it all happens. But the science behind a blue sky isn't that easy. For starters, it involves something called the Rayleigh effect, or Rayleigh scattering.
These reactions, in turn, activate a protein called luciferase, which creates the blue light. Bioluminescent phytoplankton are almost exclusively found in salt water.
A diamond may begin to glow while being rubbed; this occasionally happens to diamonds while a facet is being ground or the diamond is being sawn during the cutting process. Diamonds may fluoresce blue or red. Some other minerals, such as quartz, are triboluminescent, emitting light when rubbed together. [19]
