Vision is our dominant sense, and we are richly rewarded with a palette of colors from red to violet. Our eyes do not detect the l- energy, long-wavelength infrared (IR) radiation, but we know it exists from d- cussions of war applications and televised images of guided weapons targets. Our eyes do not detect the higher-energy (above visible light energies) and shorter-than-visible-wavelength ultraviolet radiation, and yet we know it is there from the sunburn we receive in Arizona. We also know that window glass can block ultraviolet rays so we don’t get a burn while driving with the windows rolled up. We know about radio waves from the little boxes that talk to us and x-rays from the dentist office. These waves and rays belong to the same family of light, often called photons (from the Greek photos, light), that describes the spectra of electromagnetic radiation over 10 orders of magnitude from very low-energy - dio waves to very high-energy x-rays and gamma rays. | 出版日期 | Book 2008 | 关键词 | Absorption; LED; Optics; Pinhole; Prism; Total internal reflection; refractive index; spectroscopy | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-75107-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-2579-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-75107-8 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2008 |
