  2. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

    White light is dispersed by a glass prism into the colors of the visible spectrum. The visible spectrum is the band of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light (or simply light).

  3. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    Above infrared in frequency comes visible light. The Sun emits its peak power in the visible region, although integrating the entire emission power spectrum through all wavelengths shows that the Sun emits slightly more infrared than visible light. [15] By definition, visible light is the part of the EM spectrum the human eye is the most ...

  4. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    The frequency of the wave determines its color: 400 THz (4 × 10 14 Hz) is red light, 800 THz (8 × 10 14 Hz) is violet light, and between these (in the range 400–800 THz) are all the other colors of the visible spectrum.

  5. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. [1] Visible light spans the visible spectrum and is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometres (nm), corresponding to frequencies of 750–420 terahertz .

  6. Radiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiometry

    Radiometry is a set of techniques for measuring electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Radiometric techniques in optics characterize the distribution of the radiation's power in space, as opposed to photometric techniques, which characterize the light's interaction with the human eye. The fundamental difference between radiometry ...

  7. Flicker fusion threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_fusion_threshold

    The flicker fusion threshold, also known as critical flicker frequency or flicker fusion rate, is the frequency at which a flickering light appears steady to the average human observer. It is a concept studied in vision science , more specifically in the psychophysics of visual perception .

  8. Spectrum analyzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_analyzer

    The frequency halfway between the stop and start frequencies on a spectrum analyzer display is known as the center frequency. This is the frequency that is in the middle of the display's frequency axis.

  9. Flicker (light) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(light)

    In visual perception, flicker is a human-visible change in luminance of an illuminated surface or light source which can be due to fluctuations of the light source itself, or due to external causes such as due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply (power-line flicker) or incompatibility with an external dimmer.
