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.

Without the contrast of light, the figures would blend in with its surrounding environment.

The light beam from a distant object cannot itself have any transverse velocity component, or it could not ( by definition ) be seen by the observer, since it would miss the observer.

It would take an hour and a half to light an area leaving the filmmakers only six hours left to shoot a scene.

Vases filled with water used to start fires were known in the ancient world, and metaphorical significance was drawn ( by the early Church Fathers, for instance ) from the fact that the water remained cool even though the light passing through it would set materials on fire.

Then the darkness thinned, and there was light again, and then bright sunlight.

In the dim underwater light they dressed and straightened up the room, and then they went across the hall to the kitchen.

She went into the living room and turned on three lamps, then back into the kitchen where she turned on the ceiling light and the switch that lit the floods on the barn, illuminating the driveway.

The video signal is amplified and then switched, in synchronism with the three ultraviolet light sources which are sequenced by the rotating mirror so that during one-twentieth of a second only one wavelength, corresponding to red, green, or blue, is seen.

Without further discussion he appeared the next morning with a pile of boards sticking over the end of his light truck and proceeded with the paneling, which he then stained and waxed according to his taste.

With these gadgets -- impressive to the gullible because of their flashing light bulbs, ticks, and buzzes -- he then carries out a vicious medical con game, capitalizing on people's respect for the electrical and atomic wonders of our scientific age.

A second scene flashed before his mind, the interior of the garage at the new house and the young Bartlett girl turning startled to meet him, the dim dark and the sudden confusion and fear and then the brightness as Mae had clicked on the light.

He paused on the landing to steady his breathing and then bent to examine the single door by the light of the weak bulb overhead.

I'll pull the boards back and then get us a light.

But, up to now, no one has attempted to analyze its inherent mathematical properties, or the numerical significance of its numbers -- singly or in combination -- and then tried to consider these in the light of Old Chinese cosmological concepts.

* Lit as the past tense of light is more common than lighted in the UK ; American English uses lit to mean " set afire " / " kindled " / " made to emit light " but lighted to mean " cast light upon " ( e. g., " The stagehand lighted the set and then lit a cigarette .").

For the simple case where the direction of the light beam along the line SE is perpendicular to the motion of the observer then only light emitted at an angle equal to the arc cosine of the ratio of the observer's speed to the speed of light will reach the telescope.

To evaluate the probability of a hypothesis, the Bayesian probabilist specifies some prior probability, which is then updated in the light of new, relevant data.

He then goes on to reveal that Diet Coke is " liquid light ".

Pupil reaction to light is important because it shows an intact retina, and cranial nerve number 2 ( CN II ); if pupils are reactive to light, then that also indicates that the cranial nerve number 3 ( CN III ) ( or at least its parasympathetic fibers ) are intact.

Utilitarianism, in answering this charge, must show either that what is apparently immoral is not really so or that, if it really is so, then closer examination of the consequences will bring this fact to light.

This darkened pattern is then detected using light microscopy.

In light of the Big Bang theory, a stylized version of argument has emerged ( sometimes called the Kalam cosmological argument, the following form of which was created by Al-Gazali and then strongly supported by William Lane Craig ):

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.

Even then light cavalry remained an indispensable tool for scouting, screening the army's movements, and harassing the enemy's supply lines until military aircraft supplanted them in this role in the early stages of World War I.

Radiosity is a method which attempts to simulate the way in which directly illuminated surfaces act as indirect light sources that illuminate other surfaces.

Ptolemy and Aristotle theorised that light either shone from the eye to illuminate objects or that light emanated from objects themselves, whereas al-Haytham ( known by the Latin name Alhazen ) suggested that light travels to the eye in rays from different points on an object.

These red LEDs were bright enough only for use as indicators, as the light output was not enough to illuminate an area.

Also attached is a fiber optic cable system connected to a ' cold ' light source ( halogen or xenon ), to illuminate the operative field, inserted through a 5 mm or 10 mm cannula or trocar to view the operative field.

An additional problem occurs when light must pass through a very narrow aperture to illuminate the scene ( consider a darkened room, with a door slightly ajar leading to a brightly lit room ), or a scene in which most points do not have direct line-of-sight to any light source ( such as with ceiling-directed light fixtures or torchieres ).

In order to get high energy electrons, one must illuminate the metal with high-frequency light.

Thus, sensitive detection of specific optical frequencies necessitates optical heterodyne detection, in which two different ( close-by ) wavelengths of light illuminate the detector so that the oscillating electrical output corresponds to the difference between their frequencies.

Additionally, less light is needed to illuminate green, again because of the higher sensitivity to green in image sensors.
