  2. Brightness temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness_temperature

    Nonthermal sources can have very high brightness temperatures. In pulsars the brightness temperature can reach 10 30 K. [9] For the radiation of a helium–neon laser with a power of 1 mW, a frequency spread Δf = 1 GHz, an output aperture of 1 mm 2, and a beam dispersion half-angle of 0.56 mrad, the brightness temperature would be 1.5 × 10 10 ...

  3. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    The color temperature scale describes only the color of light emitted by a light source, which may actually be at a different (and often much lower) temperature. [1] [2] Color temperature has applications in lighting, [3] photography, [4] videography, [5] publishing, [6] manufacturing, [7] astrophysics, [8] and other fields.

  4. Brightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness

    When appearing on light bulb packages, brightness means luminous flux, while in other contexts it means luminance. [5] Luminous flux is the total amount of light coming from a source, such as a lighting device. Luminance, the original meaning of brightness, is the amount of light per solid angle coming from an area, such as the sky.

  5. Correlated color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlated_color_temperature

    Referring to the (r,g) chromaticity diagram depicted aside, he hypothesized that [9] K ΔE = |c 1c 2 | = max(|r 1 − r 2 |, |g 1g 2 |). These developments paved the way for the development of new chromaticity spaces that are more suited to estimating correlated color temperatures and chromaticity differences.

  6. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    The specific heat capacities of iron, granite, and hydrogen gas are about 449 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1, 790 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1, and 14300 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1, respectively. [4] While the substance is undergoing a phase transition , such as melting or boiling, its specific heat capacity is technically undefined, because the heat goes into ...

  7. Full-spectrum light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-spectrum_light

    Color temperature and Color Rendering Index (CRI) are the standards for measuring light. There is no technical definition of "full-spectrum" so it cannot be measured. To compare "full-spectrum" sources requires direct comparison of spectral distribution. Color emitted by a black body on a linear scale from 800 kelvins to 12200 kelvins

  8. Hue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue

    The concept of a color system with a hue was explored as early as 1830 with Philipp Otto Runge's color sphere. The Munsell color system from the 1930s was a great step forward, as it was realized that perceptual uniformity means the color space can no longer be a sphere. As a convention, the hue for red is set to 0° for most color spaces with ...

  9. Lightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightness

    J HK = J + (100 – J) (C / 300) |sin(⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ h – 45°)|, where C is the chroma and h the hue angle Q is then calculated from J HK instead of from J. This formula has the effect of pulling up the lightness and brightness of coloured samples. The larger the chroma, the stronger the effect; for very saturated colours C can be close to 100 ...
