  2. Solid light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_light

    Solid light, or hard light, is a hypothetical material consisting of light in a solidified state. It has been theorized that solid light could exist. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Some experiments claim to have created solid photonic matter or molecules by inducing strong interaction between photons.

  3. Numerical aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_aperture

    As a pencil of light goes through a flat plane of glass, its half-angle changes to θ 2. Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same: NA = n 1 sin θ 1 = n 2 sin θ 2. In optics, the numerical aperture (NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that characterizes the range of angles over which the system can accept or ...

  5. Sodium-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-vapor_lamp

    When the lamp is first started, it emits a dim red/pink light to warm the sodium metal; within a few minutes as the sodium metal vaporizes, the emission becomes the common bright yellow. These lamps produce a virtually monochromatic light averaging a 589.3 nm wavelength (actually two dominant spectral lines very close together at 589.0 and 589. ...

  6. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The solid angle of a sphere measured from any point in its interior is 4 π sr. The solid angle subtended at the center of a cube by one of its faces is one-sixth of that, or 2 π /3 sr. The solid angle subtended at the corner of a cube (an octant) or spanned by a spherical octant is π /2 sr, one-eight of the solid angle of a sphere. [1]

  7. Etendue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etendue

    Etendue for a differential surface element in 2D (left) and 3D (right).. An infinitesimal surface element, dS, with normal n S is immersed in a medium of refractive index n.The surface is crossed by (or emits) light confined to a solid angle, dΩ, at an angle θ with the normal n S.

  8. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    A common thermal light source in history is the glowing solid particles in flames, but these also emit most of their radiation in the infrared and only a fraction in the visible spectrum. The peak of the black-body spectrum is in the deep infrared, at about 10 micrometre wavelength, for relatively cool objects like human beings.

  9. Hard light - Wikipedia

    Hard light, an approach for computationally blending images; A type of tactile hologram in science fiction; Hardlight, a video game development studio acquired by Sega "Hardlight" (song), released in 2022 by indie rock band Spacey Jane; Solid light, a theoretical state of light that is solid via strong interactions between photons
