Sentences with phrase «larger than visible light»

Not exact matches

«Particles of any kind, even much smaller than the wavelength of visible light, will, as a rule, make the sky brighter but at the expense of its purity of color,» Bohren says, noting that the effect is more pronounced when there is a high concentration of large aerosols.

Aerosols that are close in size or larger than the wavelengths of visible light tend to scatter all colors indiscriminately, increasing the overall brightness of the sky but dampening color contrast.

The large velocities of the galaxies in the clusters are produced by more gravity force than can be explained with the gravity of the visible (either shining or blocking light) matter in the galaxies.

For the same reason, infrared astronomy enables researchers to observe cosmic objects through large clouds of interstellar dust that scatter infrared radiation substantially less than visible light.

With its 30 m prime mirror diameter, TMT will be three times as wide, with nine times more area, than the largest currently existing visible - light telescope in the world.

Mainly because infrared is been classified as larger spectrum does it have more total watts per square meter of sunlight, but it has lower intensity per nanometer of spectrum than visible light has.

Also you focused on re-radiating meaning emitting long - wave spectrum - which possible, but I was thinking more about emitting the same wavelength, as mentioned in this quote: «However, aerosols (which often contain water and if so can absorb red wavelengths) are usually larger than visible wavelengths and therefore absorb and reflect all wavelengths of light equally (this is not technically scattering, although it is often called that; it technically involves absorption and re-radiation, or reflection).»
