Arise Quote by Max von Laue

For as long as one has no further point of reference, apart from the position of the maximum, the wavelength thus remains uncertain by…

If diffraction or interference phenomena were to be sought it was therefore necessary, in accordance with the basic principles of wave theory, to select…

“Starting at low temperatures, the poker emits predominantly long-wavelength radiation from the infrared part of the spectrum. As the temperature increases, more energy is…

During exposure, interference takes place between the incident rays and those reflected by the mirror, with the formation of interference fringes half a wavelength…

— Gabriel Lippmann

Light or luminosity is created by the way elements are juxtaposed. They become reflective and a radiance comes from putting different things together.

— Merce Cunningham

For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, so that this can produce a different…

The closer the source of light is to a subject, the broader the beams are.

— Conrad Hall

Along a series of lines running from longer to shorter wavelengths the effect of the electric field becomes greater as the serial numbers increase…

— Johannes Stark

“Once the thermal radiation reaches the surface temperature of the Sun-some 6000 degrees Celsius-we perceive it as white light. At still higher temperatures, 8500…

Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.

— Josef Albers

We can scarcely avoid the inference that light consists in the transverse undulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and…

— James Clerk Maxwell

The variety of colour in objects cannot be discerned at a great distance, excepting in those parts which are directly lighted up by the…
