The human eye cannot see all the rays on the light spectrum. Infrared rays, for example, are too long for the human eye to perceive, and ultraviolet rays are too short. So, direct (spectral) light seems stronger than diffuse light. However, the total light transmission is the same. Refer...

of reflection. Each light ray still reflects at the same angle as it strikes the object but in a different direction. This process gives rise to scattered light, commonly referred to as diffuse light. The scattering of light is responsible for the diffusion and gentle nature of the light ...
However, indirect or diffuse sunlight due to shade or cloudy days generates significant wattage. Can Ambient Light Charge Solar Panels? Solar panels generate DC electricity from visible light using the photovoltaic effect. Sunlight is the ideal light source, but even ambient light produces ...
Light scattering is the way light behaves when it interacts with a medium that contains particles or the boundary between different mediums where defects or structures are present.
The light from these newborn stars heats and ionizes their placental cloud before finally dispersing it back into the galactic disk, ready to repeat the cycle (Fig. 1.1). Wherever there are stars, some will reach the end of their lives to explode as supernovae, hurling out the gas that...
What is a generation? Talk Z talk No doubt you’re already familiar with the concept of generations within families. Your grandparents, parents, children, and children’s children all make up a distinct generation in relation to you. But each of them also belongs to a diffuse category of th...
SkyglowLight that is reflected from illuminated surfaces, light escaping directly upwards from light fixtures is then scattered by the atmosphere back to the ground. This creates a diffuse glow over that area. It is mostly seen in populated areas....
Laser light is coherent light, or special "in-phase" light. What does "coherent" mean? As a kid I was always confused by explanations of coherent light. I'd been told that coherence had something to do with the sinusoidal shape of photons. Light is supposedly made up of little wiggling...
smell is only in one area, however before long the smell of the air freshner has spread to other parts of the house. An everyday example of osmosis is seen in a coffee maker - water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane (the coffee filter) and takes flavor from the coffee with it....
