Of or pertaining to actinism; as, actinic rays.
Pertaining to changes caused by the ultraviolet rays in the sun.
Pertaining to electromagnetic radiation capable of initiating photochemical reactions, as in photography or the fading of pigments. Because of the particularly strong action of ultraviolet radiation on photochemical processes, the term has come to be almost synonymous with ultraviolet, as in "actinic rays."
lights Actinics are a type of fluorescent light that is very blue. This is the color of light that is most useful to the chlorophyll in marine life, and is the color of the sea below 10 meters.
Technically, the property of radiant energy, especially in the visible and ultraviolet spectral regions, by which chemical changes are produced. In the aquarium, a type of fluorescent light that emulates the blue colour of the sea below 10 meters.
A type of fluorescent bulb that gives off blue colored light often used in marine aquaria to make corals appear to glow with brilliant colors and to give the tank a "deep ocean" feel to it.
Blue spectrum of light that peaks in the 420 nanometers range
an adjective meaning relating or pertaining to rays or beams of light.
A type of fluorescent lighting that provides the proper spectra for photosynthesis and is the color of the sea below 10 meters. Best used for aquariums with live plants or chlorophyll containing species such as reef coral. Actinics are very blue.
the ability of light to cause a chemical or physical change in a substance.
Pertaining to changes caused by the ultraviolet rays in sunlight.
Actinic03 - A type of lighting that provides the blue end of the spectrum for photosynthesis. Best used for aquariums with live plants, or zooxanthellae containing species such as reef coral.
The chemical change violet or ultraviolet light produces in certain photosensitive film.
A type of fluorescent lighting that emits blue light. Thus, providing the proper spectra for photosynthesis. Best used for aquariums with live plants or chlorophyll containing species such as reef coral.
