If these muons happen, in turn, to pass through something dense but transparent, such as water or ice,
they emit flashes of light...
In every curve, the fast particles
emit flashes of light which add up to an intense laser pulse.
These names come from the fact that some species as adults
emit flashes of light to attract mates, using special light - emitting organs in the abdomen.
When a star explodes into a supernova,
it emits a flash of light that can appear brighter than a galaxy.
It might make a sound, or
emit a flash of light or a vibration.
Not exact matches
Ideally, the electron gains so much energy in the laser field that upon impact with the atom, a much shorter
flash of light with very high energy is
emitted — an attosecond laser pulse, with a frequency in the ultraviolet - or x-ray regime.
Strogatz explores dozens
of strange synchronous phenomena, from hands clapping in unison to the rhythmic
flashing of fireflies to laser beams produced by trillions
of atoms
emitting light waves in phase at the same frequency.
Piecing together clues about the colour, speed, and the power
of these
flashes, we conclude that this
light is being
emitted from the base
of the black hole jet.
The beast apparently uses them to
emit flashes of bright blue - green
light when threatened.
When these gamma rays reach the Earth's atmosphere they are absorbed, producing a short - lived shower
of secondary particles that
emit weak
flashes of bluish
light known as Cherenkov radiation, lasting just a few billionths
of a second.
In fact, it's a kilometre - long string
of shiny, bulbous detectors designed to look for
flashes of light emitted by neutrinos smashing into the ice.
Kubodera's videos, which captured 14 attack behaviors, showed that as a squid approached, it sometimes
emitted a short
flash from photophores (
light - producing organs) on the tips
of its arms, perhaps in an effort to blind its prey or to illuminate it for easier capture.
They're buried deep down in the ice, but they register the
flashes of light that
emitted when neutrinos interact with an atom and produces a new particle called a muon as the moon — muon travels through the ice, that's what
lights it up.
When a collision happens, a xenon atom will recoil and
emit a tiny
flash of light, which is detected by LUX's
light sensors.

flashes.

of the ocean actually crackles with enigmatic
flashes from
light -
emitting creatures.
Vertical strings
of detectors frozen into the ice watch for
flashes of blue
light emitted when neutrinos strike.
An even more interesting possibility, however, is that x-ray
flashers come from explosions in even more distant regions
of the universe, where cosmic expansion since the Big Bang would have shifted
emitted gamma rays into the x-ray range and intergalactic gas blocks visible afterglow, as none
of these x-ray
flashes have been observed to have a detectable, visible -
light afterglow.
The only
flashes of something more bombastic is the two large panels at the side that
emit light, which can be turned off entirely or have the color changed to match an existing setup.
In addition, a
flashing, red
light emitting diode (LED) is incorporated into the design
of the lockset and offers an indicator that the lock has been activated or disengaged.
