QUÉ SIGNIFICA LIGHT EN INGLÉS

Ligero

Light

La luz es energía radiante, por lo general se refiere a la radiación electromagnética que es visible para el ojo humano, y es responsable del sentido de la vista. La luz visible se define generalmente como que tiene una longitud de onda en el rango de 400 nanómetros, o 400 × 10-9 m, a 700 nanómetros - entre el infrarrojo, con longitudes de onda más largas y el ultravioleta, con longitudes de onda más cortas. Estos números no representan los límites absolutos de la visión humana, sino el rango aproximado dentro del cual la mayoría de la gente puede ver razonablemente bien en la mayoría de las circunstancias. Varias fuentes definen la luz visible tan estrechamente como 420 a 680 a tan ampliamente como 380 a 800 nm. Bajo condiciones de laboratorio ideales, la gente puede ver el infrarrojo hasta por lo menos 1050 nanómetro, los niños y los adultos jóvenes ultravioleta abajo a cerca de 310 a 313 nanómetro. Las propiedades primarias de la luz visible son la intensidad, la dirección de propagación, la frecuencia o el espectro de longitud de onda, y la polarización, mientras que su velocidad en el vacío, 299.792.458 metros por segundo, es una de las constantes fundamentales de la naturaleza. La luz visible, como con todos los tipos de radiación electromagnética, se encuentra experimentalmente para moverse siempre a esta velocidad en vacío.

Light is radiant energy, usually referring to electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light is usually defined as having a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometres, or 400×10−9 m, to 700 nanometres – between the infrared, with longer wavelengths and the ultraviolet, with shorter wavelengths. These numbers do not represent the absolute limits of human vision, but the approximate range within which most people can see reasonably well under most circumstances. Various sources define visible light as narrowly as 420 to 680 to as broadly as 380 to 800 nm. Under ideal laboratory conditions, people can see infrared up to at least 1050 nm, children and young adults ultraviolet down to about 310 to 313 nm. Primary properties of visible light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarisation, while its speed in a vacuum, 299,792,458 meters per second, is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Visible light, as with all types of electromagnetic radiation, is experimentally found to always move at this speed in vacuum.

definición de light en el diccionario inglés

La primera definición de luz en el diccionario es el medio de iluminación que hace posible la vista. Otra definición de luz también se llama: radiación visible. radiación electromagnética que es capaz de causar una sensación visual y tiene longitudes de onda de aproximadamente 380 a aproximadamente 780 nanómetros. La luz también es radiación electromagnética que tiene una longitud de onda fuera de este rango, especialmente la radiación ultravioleta.

Yehuda Amichai

2

Morena Baccarin

I've love to do more movies. Just because I'm interested in the medium very much. I've done a lot of theatre at this point, and I've done a lot of TV. I've done a few independent films, but a lot of them have not seen the light of day. It'd be really nice to be in a film that gets out there.

3

John Badham

In this movie they took them up in space. They're floating around and doing zero gravity stuff. Well, they had to do it all on wires. All the wires had to be painted black against this black background. If you didn't light it properly you could see the wires. Drove them crazy!

Nayvadius Cash

The hardest part of fame and success is adapting to the people around you that's changing. It changes the way people look at you from how they used to look at you.
