  2. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength. The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and ...

  3. Blue laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_laser

    A blue laser emits electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 400 and 500 nanometers, which the human eye sees in the visible spectrum as blue or violet. [ 1] Blue lasers can be produced by: Lasers emitting wavelengths below 445 nm appear violet, but are nonetheless also called blue lasers.

  4. Blue light spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_light_spectrum

    The blue light spectrum is an essential part of the visible spectrum with wavelengths of about 400-480 nm. [1] Blue light is primarily generated by Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) lighting and digital screens, it has now become prevalent in the world around us. [2] LED lighting creates white light by combining blue light with other wavelengths ...

  5. Photodissociation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodissociation

    Photodissociation. Photodissociation, photolysis, photodecomposition, or photofragmentation is a chemical reaction in which molecules of a chemical compound are broken down by absorption of light or photons. It is defined as the interaction of one or more photons with one target molecule that dissociates into two fragments.

  6. B-type main-sequence star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-type_main-sequence_star

    This class of stars was introduced with the Harvard sequence of stellar spectra and published in the Revised Harvard photometry catalogue. The definition of type B-type stars was the presence of non-ionized helium lines with the absence of singly ionized helium in the blue-violet portion of the spectrum. All of the spectral classes, including ...

  7. Violet (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_(color)

    Violet is at one end of the spectrum of visible light, between blue light, which has a longer wavelength, and ultraviolet light, which has a shorter wavelength and is not visible to humans. Violet wavelengths are between approximately 380 and 435 nanometers. Violet objects often appear dark, because human vision becomes less sensitive at ...

  8. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    Color of chemicals. The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the chemical. The study of chemical structure by means of energy absorption and release is generally referred to as spectroscopy .

  9. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

    White light is dispersed by a 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). The optical spectrum is sometimes considered to be the same as the ...
