  2. Photosynthetic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency

    Using longer wavelengths means less light energy is needed for the same number of photons and therefore for the same amount of photosynthesis. For actual sunlight, where only 45% of the light is in the photosynthetically active wavelength range, the theoretical maximum efficiency of solar energy conversion is approximately 11%.

  3. Biophoton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton

    Biophotons may be detected with photomultipliers or by means of an ultra low noise CCD camera to produce an image, using an exposure time of typically 15 minutes for plant materials. [ 9 ] [ 3 ] Photomultiplier tubes have been used to measure biophoton emissions from fish eggs, [ 10 ] and some applications have measured biophotons from animals ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarium_lighting

    Aquarium with LED lighting. Freshwater aquarium lighting is commonly provided by screw-in incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes and LED lamps.Incandescent lighting is becoming less popular because it uses much more energy and produces more heat than the other lighting types. [1]

  5. Fishfinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishfinder

    In 1948 they introduced their fishfinder for use in commercial fishing vessels; the Furuno Fish Finder is the world's first practical fishfinder. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The first fishfinder marketed to consumers in America for recreational fishing was the Lowrance Fish Lo-K-Tor (also nicknamed "The Little Green Box"), which was invented in 1957 and ...

  6. Full-spectrum light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-spectrum_light

    Full-spectrum light is light that covers the electromagnetic spectrum from infrared to near-ultraviolet, or all wavelengths that are useful to plant or animal life; in particular, sunlight is considered full spectrum, even though the solar spectral distribution reaching Earth changes with time of day, latitude, and atmospheric conditions.

  7. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

    Low-pressure Hg lamps can be rather small, but efficient sources of deep UV light. Low-pressure mercury-vapor lamps [16] usually have a quartz bulb in order to allow the transmission of short wavelength light. If synthetic quartz is used, then the transparency of the quartz is increased further and an emission line at 185 nm is observed also.

  8. Photosystem I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_I

    Photosystem I (PSI, or plastocyanin–ferredoxin oxidoreductase) is one of two photosystems in the photosynthetic light reactions of algae, plants, and cyanobacteria. Photosystem I [ 1 ] is an integral membrane protein complex that uses light energy to catalyze the transfer of electrons across the thylakoid membrane from plastocyanin to ...

  9. Actinism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinism

    The center wavelength for most actinic light products is 420 nanometers, with longer wavelengths regarded as "royal blue" (450nm) to sky blue (470nm) and cyan (490nm) and shorter wavelengths regarded as "violet" (400nm) and blacklight (365nm). Actinic light centered at 420nm may appear to the naked eye as a color between deep blue and violet.
