  2. Grow light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grow_light

    Ficus plant grown under a white LED grow light. A grow light is an electric light that can help plants grow. Grow lights either attempt to provide a light spectrum similar to that of the sun, or to provide a spectrum that is more tailored to the needs of the plants being cultivated (typically a varying combination of red and blue light, which generally appears pink to purple to the human eye).

  3. 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.

    All three of these are nuclear power plants, and eight of the top 10 power plants with the largest annual net generation in 2021 are nuclear power plants. [2] The largest power generating facility under construction is the Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project in Wyoming, which will generate 2,500-3,000 MW when completed in 2026. [3]

  5. Shade tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shade_tolerance

    Plants adapted to shade have the ability to use far-red light (about 730 nm) more effectively than plants adapted to full sunlight. Most red light gets absorbed by the shade-intolerant canopy plants, but more of the far-red light penetrates the canopy, reaching the understorey. The shade-tolerant plants found here are capable of photosynthesis ...

  6. South Texas Nuclear Generating Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Texas_Nuclear...

    On December 6, 1971, Houston Lighting & Power Co. (HL&P), the City of Austin, the City of San Antonio, and the Central Power and Light Co. (CPL) initiated a feasibility study of constructing a jointly-owned nuclear plant. The initial cost estimate for the plant was $974 million [5] (equivalent to approximately $5,700,741,167 in 2015 dollars [6]).

  7. Power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_station

    Power plants that can be dispatched (scheduled) to provide energy to a system include: Base load power plants run nearly continually to provide that component of system load that does not vary during a day or week. Baseload plants can be highly optimized for low fuel cost, but may not start or stop quickly during changes in system load.

  8. Plant physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_physiology

    The light that is absorbed may be used by the plant to power chemical reactions, while the reflected wavelengths of light determine the color the pigment appears to the eye. Chlorophyll is the primary pigment in plants; it is a porphyrin that absorbs red and blue wavelengths of light while reflecting green. It is the presence and relative ...
