IN recent papers I have discussed the continuous spectrum of mercury and its association with the resonance line λ2537. Prof. R. W. Wood showed in 1909 that the green visual fluorescence of mercury ...

IN spectroscopic literature there are many casual references to a continuous background in the vacuum tube spectra of various gases, such as oxygen, chlorine, etc. Usually these observations appear to ...

A new method to measure the continuous spectrum of light is set to improve thermal imaging and infrared thermography. A new method to measure the continuous spectrum of light, developed in the lab of ...

To see the various colors that make up starlight, astronomers can use a prism to separate the colors. Common elements like helium and calcium in the atmospheres of stars block certain colors of light, ...

IMM Photonics presents a newly developed LED featuring a continuous spectrum from 400 nm to 750 nm. Due to their internal design, standard white LEDs have a gap in the spectrum between 400 nm and 450 ...

Studying the line spectra produced by hot gases and absorbed by cooler gases allows us to identify the elements in stars. When a gas is very hot, it doesn’t emit all wavelengths of light. Hot gases ...
