Ptolemy's problem is to forecast where, against the inverted bowl of night, some particular light will be found at future times.

The light at that time is a benediction.

Above, the glowing ivory baton of their searchlight pointed at the clouds, diluting the valley's dark to a pallid light.

Now, Adam, in the gray light of afternoon, stared across at the hut opposite his tent, and thought of Simms Purdew lying in there in the gloom, snoring on his bunk, with the fumes of whisky choking the air.

He was brigadier of the club's locker-room light infantry, and at one time or another declared war on Russia, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and China.

from the early evening lights of them which had first startled Izaak to look at her in an uncousinly way, they had faded to a near-absence of color which had, possibly from her constant looking at the water, something of the light of the sea in them.

These cases in which light is already visible at the other end of the tunnel are ones which over the next few years will absorb the bulk of our capital assistance.

In the light of these circumstances, as well as the fact that the issue at trial in this respect centered entirely on the Department's recommendation, which petitioner repudiated but which both the appeal board and the courts below found supported by the record, we find no relevancy in the hearing officer's report and notes.

it's a short, light, quick-handling, fast-firing little timber gun designed to push a heavy slug at modest velocity but with lots of killing power and ample range for our most popular big game -- whitetail.

Often one floodlight high in a tree will provide all the light you need at much less expense.

Where the microscope under visible light may show only vague shadows or nothing at all, ultraviolet illumination and subsequent translation into a color TV picture reveal a wealth of detail.

The photochemical exchange occurs with a quantum yield of the order of unity in the liquid phase at 65-degrees using light absorbed only by the Af.

The rate of the gas phase exchange reaction appears to be proportional to the first power of the absorbed light intensity indicating that the radical intermediates are removed at the walls or by reaction with an impurity rather than by bimolecular radical combination reactions.

The last column shows the rate of exchange that would have been observed at a relative intensity of 4 ( 14.7 cm. distance ) calculated on the assumptions that the incident light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the lamp from the cell and that the rate is directly proportional to the incident light intensity.

But when what is new in a particular context is also fairly obvious, there is normally only light stress or no stress at all.

Geometric pottery has not yet received the thorough, detailed study which it deserves, partly because the task is a mammoth one and partly because some of its local manifestations, as at Argos, are only now coming to light.

On June 14, 1900 the Manchester Journal reported that an electrical engineer was installing an electric light plant for Edward S. Isham at `` Ormsby Hill ''.

As the child addresses the shepherd in a dream, light -- in the form of the major mode -- begins to appear, and at the moment of the miracle we hear a clear and shining D major.

At that time consideration will be given to whether in the light of the United States supplies of rice available for Title 1, disposal, India's production, consumption and stocks of food grains, other imports from the United States and countries friendly to the United States, India's storage capacity, and other related factors, any increase would be possible in the portion of the total rice programmed which is currently planned for procurement during the first year.

Data on such comparisons together with data on the effect of light intensity are given in Table 1.

The input light distributions considered are P-11 and P-20 phosphor emission and the so-called `` night light '' ( N.L. ) as given by H.W. Babcock and J. J. Johnson.

St. Bonaventure ’ s “ Retracing the Arts to Theology ”, a primary example of this method, discusses the skills of the artisan as gifts given by God for the purpose of disclosing God to mankind, which purpose is achieved through four lights: the light of skill in mechanical arts which discloses the world of artifacts ; which light is guided by the light of sense perception which discloses the world of natural forms ; which light, consequently, is guided by the light of philosophy which discloses the world of intellectual truth ; finally, this light is guided by the light of divine wisdom which discloses the world of saving truth.

Arcturus is a type K1. 5 IIIpe orange giant star — the letters " pe " stand for " peculiar emission ," which indicates that the spectrum of light given off by the star is unusual and full of emission lines.

Ethical issues like designed babies and human cloning have also given rise to controversies between and among scientists and bioethicists, especially in the light of past abuses with eugenics ( see reductio ad hitlerum ).

The technique is most effective in the early morning, given that ovulation and spawning are enhanced by light.

The luminous intensity for light of a particular wavelength λ is given by

His attendant witnesses heavenly light in the direction of Columba, and Holy angels joins the saint in his passage to the Lord: And having given them his holy benediction in this way, he immediately breathed his last.

The optical basis of the simulation is that some diffused light from a given point on a given surface is reflected in a large spectrum of directions and illuminates the area around it.

Beds are given frequent light application of nitrogen fertilizer during the first year.

Controversial issues are held as potentially divisive in a given society, because they can lead to tension and ill will, as a result they are often taboo to be discussed in the light of company in many cultures.

The extra light is called a shamash (, " attendant ") and is given a distinct location, usually above or below the rest.

The total cross-section is related to the absorbance of the light intensity through Beer-Lambert's law, which says absorbance is proportional to concentration:, where C is the concentration as a number density, A < sub > λ </ sub > is the absorbance at a given wavelength λ, and is the path length.

Light incident at a given point in the space downstream of the slit is made up of contributions from each of these point sources and if the relative phases of these contributions vary by 2π or more, we may expect to find minima and maxima in the diffracted light.

The form of the light diffracted by a grating depends on the structure of the elements and the number of elements present, but all gratings have intensity maxima at angles θ < sub > m </ sub > which are given by the grating equation

This is illustrated in the figure above, where the first pattern is the diffraction pattern of a single slit, given by the function in this equation, and the second figure shows the combined intensity of the light diffracted from the two slits, where the function represent the fine structure, and the coarser structure represents diffraction by the individual slits as described by the function.

This tied in closely with the current attempt to upgrade state-owned cars to the extent that vehicles are not retained beyond the point where maintenance costs ( in light of depreciation ) become excessive.

Starting with the room completely blacked out, as it was when we came in, he unerringly fixed things so that the whole place was bathed in the maximum of light without at any point admitting even so much as a crack of glare.

In an imaging system, it occurs when light from one point of an object does not converge into ( or does not diverge from ) a single point after transmission through the system.

The elementary theory of optical systems leads to the theorem: Rays of light proceeding from any object point unite in an image point ; and therefore an object space is reproduced in an image space.

The course of the rays in the meridional section is no longer symmetrical to the principal ray of the pencil ; and on an intercepting plane there appears, instead of a luminous point, a patch of light, not symmetrical about a point, and often exhibiting a resemblance to a comet having its tail directed towards or away from the axis.

If, in an unsharp image, a patch of light corresponds to an object point, the center of gravity of the patch may be regarded as the image point, this being the point where the plane receiving the image, e. g., a focusing screen, intersects the ray passing through the middle of the stop.

The pop science TV program MythBusters attempted to model Archimedes ' feat by using mirrors to ignite a small wooden boat covered with tar, with only partial success — they found it too difficult to focus light from their hand-held mirrors onto a point small enough to ignite the boat.

Once the ray either encounters a light source, or more probably once a set limiting number of bounces has been evaluated, then the surface illumination at that final point is evaluated using techniques described above, and the changes along the way through the various bounces evaluated to estimate a value observed at the point of view.

By connecting outward light to inward light, via an interaction point, this equation stands for the whole ' light transport ' — all the movement of light — in a scene.

Said more simply, areas with a higher density and repetition of atom order tend to reflect more light toward one point in space when compared to those areas with fewer atoms and less repetition.

The light is not focused to a point but forms an Airy disk having a central spot in the focal plane with radius to first null of

In its mathematical form it is analogous to the description of a physical wave, but its " crests " and " troughs " indicate levels of probability for the occurrence of certain phenomena ( e. g., a spark of light at a certain point on a detector screen ) that can be observed in the macro world of ordinary human experience.

Each element may only be influenced by events which are located in the backward light cone of its point in spacetime ( i. e. the past ).
