  2. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a Faraday cage. The amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of holes in a shield to an incident electromagnetic field.

  3. Optical filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_filter

    Ultraviolet (UV) filters block ultraviolet radiation, but let visible light through. Because photographic film and digital sensors are sensitive to ultraviolet (which is abundant in skylight) but the human eye is not, such light would, if not filtered out, make photographs look different from the scene visible to people, for example making ...

    ROYGBIV (in reverse VIBGYOR) is commonly used to remember the order of colors in the visible light spectrum, as seen in a rainbow. Richard of York gave battle in vain" (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). Additionally, the fictitious name Roy G. Biv can be used as well. (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).

  5. Sulfur lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_lamp

    Sulfur lamp inside a Faraday cage, which is necessary to prevent microwave radiation leakage from the magnetron which would cause radio interference. The sulfur lamp (also sulphur lamp) is a highly efficient full-spectrum electrodeless lighting system whose light is generated by sulfur plasma that has been excited by microwave radiation.

  6. Hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrargyrum_medium-arc...

    To power an HMI bulb, special ballasts act as an ignitor to start the arc, and then regulate it by acting as a choke. Two types of ballasts exist: magnetic and electronic (square-wave or flicker-free). Magnetic ballasts are generally much heavier and bulkier than electronic ballasts, as they consist primarily of a network of large inductors ...

  7. Electromagnetic interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference

    Demodulation of a high-frequency carrier wave such as an FM radio transmission. Radio frequency interference (RFI), from typically 20 kHz to an upper limit which constantly increases as technology pushes it higher. Sources include: Wireless and radio frequency transmissions; Television and radio receivers

  8. Induction lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_lamp

    Two systems are common: plasma lamps, in which microwaves or radio waves, energizes a bulb filled with sulfur vapor [1] or metal halides, and fluorescent induction lamps, which are like a conventional fluorescent lamp bulb that induces current with an external or an internal coil of wire via electromagnetic induction.

  9. Gas-discharge lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-discharge_lamp

    A flicker light bulb, flicker flame light bulb or flicker glow lamp is a gas-discharge lamp which produces light by ionizing a gas, usually neon mixed with helium and a small amount of nitrogen gas, by an electric current passing through two flame shaped electrode screens coated with partially decomposed barium azide. The ionized gas moves ...
