Patterns of Light : Chasing the Spectrum from Aristotle to LEDs
Light is all around us even when we do not see it. Our eyes do not detect the higher energy and shorter-than-visible-wavelength ultraviolet radiation, yet we know it is there from the sunburn we receive in Arizona. We know that window glass can block ultraviolet rays so we do not get a burn while dr...
