  2. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    Another example is incandescent light bulbs, which emit only around 10% of their energy as visible light and the remainder as infrared. A common thermal light source in history is the glowing solid particles in flames, but these also emit most of their radiation in the infrared and only a fraction in the visible spectrum.

  3. Illuminance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminance

    Illuminance diagram with units and terminology. In photometry, illuminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area. [1] It is a measure of how much the incident light illuminates the surface, wavelength-weighted by the luminosity function to correlate with human brightness perception. [2]

  4. Tattvartha Sutra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tattvartha_Sutra

    In an aphoristic sutra style of ancient Indian texts, it presents the complete Jainism philosophy in 350 sutras over 10 chapters. [8] [9] The text has attracted numerous commentaries, translations and interpretations since the 5th-century. [10] One of its sutras, Parasparopagraho Jivanam is the motto of Jainism.

  5. List of unsolved problems in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    The following is a list of notable unsolved problems grouped into broad areas of physics. [1]Some of the major unsolved problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomenon or experimental result.

  6. Hindi Wikipedia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi_Wikipedia

    Many Hindi speakers with Internet use English Wikipedia instead. Given the great geographic spread of the Hindi language, the contributors to the Hindi project live in various areas around the country. There are also prolific users whose native language is not Hindi, as Hindi is a government language in India alongside English.

  7. Diffuse reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_reflection

    For simplicity, "reflections" are spoken of here, but more generally the interface between the small particles that constitute many materials is irregular on a scale comparable with light wavelength, so diffuse light is generated at each interface, rather than a single reflected ray, but the story can be told the same way.

  8. Heterospory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterospory

    In addition to being an outcome of competition for light, it is thought that heterospory was more successful in wetter areas because the megaspore could move more easily around in an aquatic environment while microspores were more easily dispersed by wind. [10] [6] Differing sized spores have been observed in many fossilized plant species. [7]

  9. Higgs boson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson

    It is predicted as 1.56 × 10 −22 s based on the predicted decay width of 4.07 × 10 −3 GeV. [2] However it can be measured indirectly, based upon comparing masses measured from quantum phenomena occurring in the on shell production pathways and in the, much rarer, off shell production pathways, derived from Dalitz decay via a virtual ...
