    bulb A thick storage organ, usually underground, consisting of a stem and leaf bases (the inner ones fleshy). bulbel A bulb arising from another bulb. See bulblet. bulbil A small, deciduous bulb or tuber formed in the axil of a leaf or pinna; a means of vegetative propagation. bulblet A bulb arising from another bulb; a bulbel. bullate 1.

  3. Photosynthetic pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_pigment

    Chlorophyll a is the most common of the six, present in every plant that performs photosynthesis. Each pigment absorbs light more efficiently in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Chlorophyll a absorbs well in the ranges of 400–450 nm and at 650–700 nm; chlorophyll b at 450–500 nm and at 600–650 nm. Xanthophyll absorbs ...

  4. List of light sources - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_light_sources

    This is a list of sources of light, the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum.Light sources produce photons from another energy source, such as heat, chemical reactions, or conversion of mass or a different frequency of electromagnetic energy, and include light bulbs and stars like the Sun. Reflectors (such as the moon, cat's eyes, and mirrors) do not actually produce the light that ...

  5. Neon lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_lighting

    The color of the light depends on the gas in the tube. Neon lights were named for neon, a noble gas which gives off a popular orange light, but other gases and chemicals called phosphors are used to produce other colors, such as hydrogen (purple-red), helium (yellow or pink), carbon dioxide (white), and mercury (blue). Neon tubes can be ...

  6. Three-point lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_lighting

    The addition of a fourth light, the background light, makes for a four-point lighting setup. The background light is placed behind the subject(s), on a high grid, or low to the ground. Unlike the other three lights, which illuminate foreground elements like actors and props, it illuminates background elements, such as walls or outdoor scenery.

  7. Neon sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_sign

    The color of the light emitted by the tube may be just that coming from the gas, or the light from the phosphor layer. Different phosphor-coated tubing sections may be butt welded together using glass working torches to form a single tube of varying colors, for effects such as a sign where each letter displays a different color letter within a ...

  8. Photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions or light reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the hydrogen carrier NADPH and the energy-storage molecule ATP. During the second stage, the light-independent reactions use these products to capture and reduce carbon dioxide.

  9. Fill light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light

    When a centered fill strategy is used the ratio is created by overlapping the key light over the foundation of fill. A key source of equal incident intensity to the fill, overlapping the even fill, [clarification needed] will create a 2:1 reflected ratio (1 key + 1 fill over 1 fill) = 2:1. The same two equal incident strength sources placed on ...
