#actinic_radiation__actinic_ray__actinicray electromagnetic radiation that can produce photochemical reactions
supertype: #electromagnetic_radiation__electromagneticradiation__electromagnetic_wave__electromagneticwave__nonparticulate_radiation radiation consisting of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge
part of: #electromagnetic_spectrum
subtype: #infrared_radiation__infrared__infrared_light__infrared_emission electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves
subtype: #visible_light__visiblelight__light__visible_radiation__visibleradiation (physics) electromagnetic radiation that can produce a visual sensation; "the light was filtered through a soft glass window"
subtype: #beam_of_light__beam__light_beam__lightbeam__ray__rayoflight__shaft__shaft_of_light a column of light (as from a beacon)
subtype: #heat_ray a ray that produces a thermal effect
subtype: #infrared_ray a ray of infrared radiation; produces a thermal effect (as from an infrared lamp)
subtype: #high_beam the beam of a car's headlights that provides distant illumination
subtype: #moonbeam__moonray a ray of moonlight
subtype: #sunbeam__sunray a ray of sunlight
subtype: #laser_beam__laserbeam a beam of light generated by a laser
subtype: #low_beam__lowbeam the beam of a car's headlights that provides illumination for a short distance
subtype: #candlelight__candle_flame the light provided by a burning candle
subtype: #corona.visible_light one or more circles of light seen around a luminous object
subtype: #counterglow__gegenschein a faint spot of light in the night sky that appears directly opposite the position of the sun; a reflection of sunlight by micrometeoric material in space
subtype: #daylight light during the daytime
subtype: #firelight the light of a fire (especially in a fireplace)
subtype: #fluorescence light emitted during absorption of radiation of some other (invisible) wavelength
subtype: #autofluorescence self-induced fluorescence
subtype: #phosphorescence a fluorescence that persists after the bombarding radiation has ceased
subtype: #friar's_lantern__ignis_fatuus__jack-o'-lantern__will-o'-the-wisp a pale light sometimes seen at night over marshy ground
subtype: #gaslight light yielded by the combustion of illuminating gas
subtype: #glowing__radiance__glow the amount of electromagnetic radiation leaving or arriving at a point on a surface
subtype: #aureole__corona the outermost region of the sun's atmosphere; visible as a white halo during a solar eclipse
subtype: #half-light a grayish light (as at dawn or dusk or in dim interiors)
subtype: #incandescence.visible_light__glow the phenomenon of light emission by a body as its temperature is raised
subtype: #lamplight light from a lamp
subtype: #luminescence light not due to incandescence; occurs at low temperatures
subtype: #bioluminescence luminescence produced by physiological processes (as in the firefly)
subtype: #chemiluminescence luminescence resulting from a chemical reaction as the oxidation of luciferin in fireflies
subtype: #meteor__shooting_star a streak of light in the sky at night that results when a meteoroid hits the earth's atmosphere and air friction causes the meteoroid to melt or vaporize or explode
subtype: #bolide__fireball an especially luminous meteor (sometimes exploding)
subtype: #moonlight__moonshine__moon the light of the moon; "moonlight is the smuggler's enemy"; "the moon was bright enough to read by"
subtype: #starlight the light of the stars
subtype: #sunlight__sunshine__sun the rays of the sun; "the shingles were weathered by the sun and wind"
subtype: #streamer light that streams; "streamers of flames"
subtype: #torchlight light from a torch or torches
subtype: #twilight the diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon but its rays are refracted by the atmosphere of the earth
subtype: #ultraviolet_illumination__ultravioletillumination__ultraviolet__ultraviolet_radiation__ultravioletradiation__ultraviolet_light__ultravioletlight__UV radiation lying in the ultraviolet range; wave lengths shorter than light but longer than X rays
