  2. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    More-subtle filters are needed to correct for the difference between, say 3200 K and 3400 K tungsten lamps or to correct for the slightly blue cast of some flash tubes, which may be 6000 K. [21] If there is more than one light source with varied color temperatures, one way to balance the color is to use daylight film and place color-correcting ...

  3. Color correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_correction

    The higher the CCT, the bluer the light appears. Sunlight at 5600 K, for example, appears much bluer than tungsten light at 3200 K. Unlike a chromaticity diagram, the Kelvin scale reduces the light source's color into one dimension. Thus, light sources of the same CCT may appear green or magenta in comparison with one another.

  4. Tungsten film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten_film

    When shot outdoors, tungsten film produces a strong blue cast, an effect which is often used purposely to create different color contrasts. In the motion picture industry the use of underexposed tungsten-balanced film in an outdoor setting is a common way of producing a " day for night " effect, whereby film shot during the daytime looks as if ...

  5. Tungsten pentoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten_pentoxide

    Tungsten pentoxide (W 2 O 5) was reported in early literature but proved to have the stoichiometry W 18 O 49. [1] Sometimes called mineral blue, it is a blue solid formed by the reaction of tungsten trioxide, WO 3 , and tungsten metal at 700 °C.

    Tungsten electrode used in a gas tungsten arc welding torch Tungsten filament is used in incandescent lightbulbs, where it is heated until it glows Because of its conductive properties and relative chemical inertness, tungsten is also used in electrodes , and in the emitter tips in electron-beam instruments that use field emission guns , such ...

  7. 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.

    At that time, 38,000 feet — roughly seven miles — of copper wire had been purloined from the 6th Street Bridge, probably fetching about $11,000, De León said. He estimated fixing the lights ...

  9. Thermochromism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochromism

    Bis(dimethylammonium) tetrachloronickelate(II) ([(CH 3) 2 NH 2] 2 NiCl 4) is a raspberry-red compound, which becomes blue at about 110 °C. On cooling, the compound becomes a light yellow metastable phase, which over 2–3 weeks turns back into original red. [8] Many other tetrachloronickelates are also thermochromic.
