  2. Rayleigh scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_scattering

    Rayleigh scattering causes the blue color of the daytime sky and the reddening of the Sun at sunset. Rayleigh scattering (/ ˈ r eɪ l i / RAY-lee) is the scattering or deflection of light, or other electromagnetic radiation, by particles with a size much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation.

  3. Light characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_characteristic

    An example of a complete light characteristic is "Gp Oc(3) W 10s 15m 10M". This indicates that the light is a group occulting light in which a group of three eclipses repeat every 10 seconds; the light is white; the light is 15 metres above the chart datum and the nominal range is 10 nautical miles.

  4. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    Beam of sun light inside the cavity of Rocca ill'Abissu at Fondachelli-Fantina, Sicily. The speed of light in vacuum is defined to be exactly 299 792 458 m/s (approximately 186,282 miles per second). The fixed value of the speed of light in SI units results from the fact that the metre is now defined in terms of the speed of light.

  7. Lightfastness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightfastness

    Lightfastness is a property of a colourant such as dye or pigment that describes its resistance to fading when exposed to light. [1] [2] [3] Dyes and pigments are used for example for dyeing of fabrics, plastics or other materials and manufacturing paints or printing inks.

  8. Photoperiodism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoperiodism

    The length of the light and dark in each phase varies across the seasons due to the tilt of the earth around its axis. The photoperiod defines the length of the light, for example a summer day the length of light could be 16 hours while the dark is 8 hours, whereas a winter day the length of day could be 8 hours, whereas the dark is 16 hours.

  9. Light-harvesting complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-harvesting_complex

    A light-harvesting complex consists of a number of chromophores [1] which are complex subunit proteins that may be part of a larger super complex of a photosystem, the functional unit in photosynthesis. It is used by plants and photosynthetic bacteria to collect more of the incoming light than would be captured by the photosynthetic reaction ...
