—water,trees,pastures,all that vegetation which neverfailing moisture brings with it.Over an extent of at least a hundred miles the beautiful waters of the Ngami stretched from east to west,lit up by the rays of the rising sun.Its greatest width lay along the parallels of longitude,but ...
the travellers believed for a moment that they were about to revel in that water of which nature had lately been so niggardly.A lake about two miles wide was seen on the horizon,and the whole caravan hurried rapidly towards a large sheet of water that glittered in the rays of the sun....

The spreading of a stream of particles or a beam of rays, as of light, over a range of directions as a result of collisions with other particles. Scattering is responsible for the color of the sky. On a clear day, the sky is blue, because blue light from the sun is scattered by th...
angles with the two rays. I can figure out a lens, too, because every ray that comes to it is bent through an angle given by Snell's law.” Evidently the statement of least time and the statement that angles are equal on reflection, and that the sines of the angles are proportional ...
We cast a ray in the direction of the sun (rays are parallel) and find the intersection with the atmosphere. This ray is cut into segments, and we evaluate the density in the middle of the segment (lines 35 and 36). Accumulating these values gives us the optical depth of the light ...

Red dots are earthquakes, and green dots are seismic receivers. Rays approximate PKIKP waves’ paths, and their color is proportional to the PKiKP-PKIKP travel time residual relative to the mean. For a 2D illustration of IC sampling, see Fig. S1. For a supplementary 3D animation, see ...
The rosy afternoon sun broke through the tree canopy like the climax of a cheesy movie where the rays point the way to God. A wild grape had climbed a thick-trunked tree, a type I didn’t recognize. Hundreds of clusters crammed with spherical dusky purple-ness hung from its branches. We...
