  2. Emerson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerson_effect

    When Emerson exposed green plants to differing wavelengths of light, he noticed that at wavelengths of greater than 680 nm the efficiency of photosynthesis decreased abruptly despite the fact that this is a region of the spectrum where chlorophyll still absorbs light (chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants - it absorbs mainly the red and blue wavelengths from light).

  3. UV coloration in flowers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_coloration_in_flowers

    Ultraviolet light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that ranges in wavelengths from 10 nm to 400 nm. [6] This wavelength is shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays. [6] As it sits on the lower edge of visible light, is what gives its name. The most effective wavelength of UV light is approximately 250 nm. [6]

  4. Photosynthetically active radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetically_active...

    Chlorophyll, the most abundant plant pigment, is most efficient in capturing red and blue light. Accessory pigments such as carotenes and xanthophylls harvest some green light and pass it on to the photosynthetic process, but enough of the green wavelengths are reflected to give leaves their characteristic color.

  5. Far-red light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-red_light

    Far-red light is a range of light at the extreme red end of the visible spectrum, just before infrared light. Usually regarded as the region between 700 and 750 nm wavelength , it is dimly visible to human eyes.

  6. Full-spectrum light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-spectrum_light

    While plants have adapted to the reception of real sunlight, full spectrum light bulbs often mimic the emphasis of wavelengths of sunlight enough that plants are stimulated to grow. Full spectrum lighting also enhances the natural coloration of fish, plants and other aquatic elements in an aquarium, which are often discolored by artificial lights.

  7. Optical spectrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_spectrometer

    The wavelength of light is then selected by the slit on the upper right corner. An optical spectrometer (spectrophotometer, spectrograph or spectroscope) is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify materials. [1]

  8. Finderscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finderscope

    Another type of finder commonly found on amateur telescopes is known as a reflector (reflex) sight. This non-magnifying sight (technically not a "scope") uses a type of beam splitter to "reflect" a reticle generated by collimating optics into the users field of view.

  9. Luminous efficiency function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficiency_function

    The horizontal axis is wavelength in nm. A luminous efficiency function or luminosity function represents the average spectral sensitivity of human visual perception of light. It is based on subjective judgements of which of a pair of different-colored lights is brighter, to describe relative sensitivity to light of different wavelengths.
