Rhymes plectrum Definition of spectrum in US English: spectrum nounˈspektrəmˈspɛktrəm 1A band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength. 谱，光谱 Example sentencesExamples Thus, in the instance above cited, they have discovered the black lines which always exist in the spectrum of solar colours given by a glass prism, in the same relative places. She wore a flowing robe of reflective black cloth with a special surface that made it reflect light in a brilliant spectrum of colors. He has used the spectrum of colours in the rainbow effectively to create an atmosphere of calm. He is shown seated before his famous invention: a ruling machine for producing concave diffraction gratings, which are slightly curved metal plates scored with minutely spaced lines that diffract light into spectra. If viewed through a prism, however, there is a decomposition of the light into the colors of the spectrum, each with different wavelengths. His head cocked to the side as he studied the light that bounced from the back of some of them in a rainbow spectrum. Prismatic refraction shows us the spectrum flashing out of a sort of nothing, which suggests a possible return into a single all-containing invisible source. The lights quickly alternated between blindingly bright and soothingly dimmed, while the reflective surfaces refracted lasers into spectra of color. Instead, new research finds that sexual orientations exist along a continuum, like colors in the spectrum of a rainbow. The crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, sending sparkles across the walls, rainbow spectra around the atmosphere were enchanting her in every way. A myriad of colors and textures, expertly placed, well lit candles, sending spectra of light cascading off elegantly woven rugs hanging on the walls. Visible light consists of a ‘rainbow’ or spectrum of electromagnetic waves of different wavelengths. The screen is made with a patented grading, much like the ones used by scientists to view the visible light spectrum in its component colors. Their blossoms encompass nearly the entire color spectrum and blooming times range from early spring to fall, depending on the variety. 1.1the spectrum The entire range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. 波谱 Example sentencesExamples What's more, because the new light source produces white light by mixing blue, green and red, the source can emit any color in the spectrum by varying the mix. In the meantime over twenty presentations internationally have moved to show that across the spectrum electromagnetic fields are genotoxic, that is they damage DNA. Also of note is the way in which Melville shaded the entire film towards the blue end of the spectrum. The backdrop of sky passes through the entire color spectrum in seamless gradation from violet and indigo above through queasy green and luminous gold to a deep, luscious red below. The unaided eye is sensitive to just one octave out of the vast spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that exists in the universe. But apricot can add a spring-like touch as well, since it falls more in the yellow-orange range of the spectrum. All the pigments absorb light energy to be used by the leaf, but each absorbs only a particular range of wavelengths, or part of the spectrum. They determine which part of the spectrum would be absorbed and which would pass through unhindered. The other great problem of glass envelopes is their transparency not only to light, but to much of the electro-magnetic spectrum. The lens filters out the blue range of the spectrum, thereby making subaquatic colors look normal. Although many of them boast about how much protection they provide, according to Vanessa they will usually not cover the entire UV spectrum. It operates in the visible and near-infrared range of the spectrum. Light, the diet of eyes, constitutes a tiny part of the entire spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. 1.2 An image or distribution of components of any electromagnetic radiation arranged in a progressive series according to wavelength. 电磁波谱 Example sentencesExamples Some nebulae give spectra that look like a star's, and she was familiar with them, but the Orion Nebula gave quite a different spectrum - just a single bright green line. Experimentally, infrared absorption spectra are obtained using infrared spectrometers. Already, researchers are working on satellites that can read the unique color spectrums emitted by people's skin and cameras that can tell whether people are lying by how frequently they blink. One method they use, fluorescence spectroscopy, involves recording optical spectra from molecules absorbing and emitting light. This offers the option of an FFT frequency analysis to view the spectrum of the raw signal or of the distortion analyzer's residual output. But differences in spectra led some to suspect that single bubble sonoluminescence was a distinct process from the multibubble variety. The adsorption and emission of spectra characteristic of atoms also suggested that they were due to the oscillations of charged particles on the atomic or sub-atomic scale. It should be noted that immunoglobulins often can be found throughout the electrophoretic spectrum. The chemical bonds in Prussian blue produce a unique spectrum with FTIR analysis that can be easily distinguished from all other pigments. Since acupuncture points on the same meridian have similar therapeutic effects, they might be expected to have similar effects on the frequency spectrum of the arterial pulse. Using a spectrometer, the transmittance spectrum is measured in a number of small regions in a stained tissue slide. Results were derived from the comparative interpretation of the conventional EEG results and the frequency spectra data, for both the experimental and control subjects. For those outside the field, an NMR spectrum of a typical organic molecule is a rather complex linear plot of multiple lines and peaks. At that point, the differences in reflected light, or spectra, of female and male pupae were most apparent.

Extensive collections of infrared spectra, X - ray diffraction patterns and chromatograms will also be digitized and uploaded. He began to classify all the known nebulae and to measure their velocities from the spectra of their emitted light. 1.3 An image or distribution of components of sound, particles, etc., arranged according to such characteristics as frequency, charge, and energy. 频谱 Example sentencesExamples The properties ascribed to electrons, for instance, such as their charge and half-integral spin, were themselves responses to quite specific experimental findings involving discharge tube phenomena and spectra. This means certain groups of atoms have similar energies, so have similar vibrational spectra. Radio spectrum can also be mapped in other ways, onto territory. Cross-correlation analysis on EEG spectra and performance time series were carried out for a single participant. The radio has 256 channels and emits spectrum signals that create noise, making the communication difficult to detect. The height of the spectrum indicates the extent of that frequency's contribution to the variance of the growth rate. The EEG frequency spectra were derived from 30 second samples that were digitized at a rate of 330 Hz, resulting in 9900 points. Small, but significant, differences are noted between the rate spectra at both pH. 2Used to classify something, or suggest that it can be classified, in terms of its position on a scale between two extreme or opposite points. 范围 the left or the right of the political spectrum 政治领域里的左派和右派。 Example sentencesExamples But, largely thanks to the Blairite project, the gap that separates the Tories and Labour has dramatically moved its position on the political spectrum.

My characters and I share a similar esteem for the middle-ground, between indulgence and obligation, and any extremes of the spectrum. Modern biology has come to occupy an extreme position in the spectrum of the sciences, dominated by historical explanations of the evolutionary adventures of genes. There are a few on the way - on the right end of the spectrum politically, the extreme right wing, that want to keep it up there. This auction covers the whole spectrum in terms of the type of lots on offer and the estimates assigned them. Other parties occupy various positions on the political spectrum.
