  2. Volumetric lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_lighting

    In volumetric lighting, the light cone emitted by a light source is modeled as a transparent object and considered as a container of a "volume". As a result, light has the capability to give the effect of passing through an actual three-dimensional aerosol (e.g. fog, dust, smoke, or steam) that is inside its volume, just like in the real world.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Phosphorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence

    Further blurring the lines, a substance may emit light by one, two, or all three mechanisms depending on the material and excitation conditions. [ further explanation needed ] [ 11 ] When the stored energy becomes locked in by the spin of the atomic electrons , a triplet state can occur, slowing the emission of light, sometimes by several ...

  5. Computer graphics lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics_lighting

    Computer graphics lighting is the collection of techniques used to simulate light in computer graphics scenes. While lighting techniques offer flexibility in the level of detail and functionality available, they also operate at different levels of computational demand and complexity.

  6. Luminescence - Wikipedia

  7. Thermal radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation

    Thermal radiation in visible light can be seen on this hot metalwork. Its emission in the infrared is invisible to the human eye. Infrared cameras are capable of capturing this infrared emission (see Thermography). Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted by the thermal motion of particles in matter.

  8. Xenon arc lamp - Wikipedia

    15 kW xenon short-arc lamp used in IMAX projectors High-speed, slow-motion video of a xenon flashtube recorded at a speed of 44,025 frames per second.. A xenon arc lamp is a highly specialized type of gas discharge lamp, an electric light that produces light by passing electricity through ionized xenon gas at high pressure.

  9. Electroluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroluminescence

    In addition to its ability to emit light under a strain of greater than 480% of its original size, the group's HLEC was shown to be capable of being integrated into a soft robotic system. Three six-layer HLEC panels were bound together to form a crawling soft robot, with the top four layers making up the light-up skin and the bottom two the ...
