Clear and well-defined fringes indicate that a stable phase relationship is conserved across all the generatedvisiblespectrum.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The hue magnitudes tell us about how hues relate to one another in terms of relative intensities in rather coarse-grained portions of thevisiblespectrum.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The responseenergy function (now due to stray light in thevisiblespectrum) was shifted to the right by approximately 1 log unit.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The tumour is then exposed to red light (visiblespectrum) in the presence of molecular oxygen.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In principle, an increase in temperature as well as an increase in pressure increases the emissivity over the totalvisiblespectrum.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In fact, both cells depolarize at the red end of thevisiblespectrum(l 650 nm) and hyperpolarize at short wavelengths (l 580 nm).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Earlier, we gave a standard definition of reflectance: the proportion of incident light the object is disposed to reflect at each wavelength in thevisiblespectrum.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We discuss the use of such phase-locked continuum pulses in the realization of a new kind of ultrabroad frequency comb for absolute frequency measurements throughout thevisiblespectrum.
From theCambridge English Corpus
But there are many ways in which hues relate with respect to relative intensities in finer-grained portions of thevisiblespectrum, to which we have no perceptual access.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The data reflect a broad spectral sensitivity, which envelops the zebrafishvisiblespectrumwith only a slight difference in sensitivity between the ultraviolet area and the rest of the spectrum.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In doing so, he drew inspiration from a number of sources describing colors outside of thevisiblespectrum.
From
Wikipedia
The colours encompass the wholevisiblespectrumand extend beyond into spectra that are not known to exist.
From
Wikipedia
The color that a surface displays depends on which parts of thevisiblespectrumare not absorbed and therefore remain visible.
From
Wikipedia
The 680 number is its absorption maximum in the red part of thevisiblespectrum(680 nm).
From
Wikipedia
This loss of energy is known as a redshifting, as photons in thevisiblespectrumwould appear more red.
