  3. Energy transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transformation

    Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. [1] In physics , energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or moving (e.g. lifting an object) or provides heat .

  4. Speed of light - Wikipedia

    By combining many such measurements, a best fit value for the light time per unit distance could be obtained. For example, in 2009, the best estimate, as approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), was: [102] [103] light time for unit distance: t au = 499.004 783 836 (10) s, c = 0.002 003 988 804 10 (4) AU/s = 173.144 632 674 (3) AU/d.

  6. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    Visible light is an electromagnetic wave, consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields traveling through space. 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 .

  7. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    By definition, visible light is the part of the EM spectrum the human eye is the most sensitive to. Visible light (and near-infrared light) is typically absorbed and emitted by electrons in molecules and atoms that move from one energy level to another. This action allows the chemical mechanisms that underlie human vision and plant photosynthesis.

    Similarly, the spectral energy density of signal x(t) is = | | where X(f) is the Fourier transform of x(t).. For example, if x(t) represents the magnitude of the electric field component (in volts per meter) of an optical signal propagating through free space, then the dimensions of X(f) would become volt·seconds per meter and () would represent the signal's spectral energy density (in volts ...
