  3. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    Only 30% of the Sun's ultraviolet light reaches the ground, and almost all of this is well transmitted. Visible light is well transmitted in air, a property known as an atmospheric window , as it is not energetic enough to excite nitrogen, oxygen, or ozone, but too energetic to excite molecular vibrational frequencies of water vapor and CO2.

  4. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    The cone cells in the human eye are of three types which respond differently across the visible spectrum and the cumulative response peaks at a wavelength of around 555 nm. Therefore, two sources of light which produce the same intensity (W/m 2) of visible light do not necessarily appear equally bright. The photometry units are designed to take ...

  5. Visible-light astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible-light_astronomy

    Visible-light astronomy has existed as long as people have been looking up at the night sky, although it has since improved in its observational capabilities since the invention of the telescope, which is commonly credited to Hans Lippershey, a German-Dutch spectacle-maker, [1] although Galileo played a large role in the development and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy_of_the_Divided_Line

    In The Republic (509d–510a), Socrates describes the divided line to Glaucon this way: . Now take a line which has been cut into two unequal parts, and divide each of them again in the same proportion, [1] and suppose the two main divisions to answer, one to the visible and the other to the intelligible, and then compare the subdivisions in respect of their clearness and want of clearness ...

  9. Helium–neon laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium–neon_laser

    He*(2 1 S) + Ne 1 S 0 + ΔE → He(1 S 0) + Ne*5s 2, where * represents an excited state, and ΔE is the small energy difference between the energy states of the two atoms, of the order of 0.05 eV, or 387 cm −1, which is supplied by kinetic energy. Excitation-energy transfer increases the population of the neon 4s 2 and 5s 2 levels manyfold.
