Back from the curving sides of this cone, above it and below it, the pressing luminosities stretched into, it seemed, infinite distances.
Beside each of these curious luminosities stood one of the sullen-fired, cruciform shapes--the Things that now I knew for the opened cubes.
Colors of like luminosities yield the illusion less strikingly, nevertheless they yield it.
To support this, four cases are given: two in which the sectors were so similar in luminosity as to bring out the illusion but faintly; two in which like luminosities yielded no illusion at all.
Rubbing the hands together, rubbing the feet on the floor, breathing hard, squeezing hands tightly when the chain is formed; all this provoked the apparition of the curious luminosities I have spoken about.
Immediately, large triangular-shaped luminosities are seen by M and R outside the cabinet.
Maxwell has been endeavouring to turn the phenomena in the direction of luminosities or materialisations.
From an experiment made on the following day, we have all three reason to believe, that Professor Richet did not see the luminosities at this seance because of his position.
That the above-described luminosities were decidedly objective.
This new method is adding extensively to our knowledge of stellar luminosities and distances, and even the vast distances of globular clusters and spiral nebulae are becoming known.
Adams and Joy have recently determined the luminosities and parallaxes of 500 stars by this spectroscopic method.
This is often useful in the case of the light between the violet and the blue, where the luminosities are small compared with the luminosity in the green, yellow, and red.
Arrangement for measuring the luminosities of pigments 83 14.
The luminosities of the following colours were taken by the above method, and subsequently we shall have to use their values.
Will the sum of the two latterluminosities be equal to the measure of the luminosity of the compounded colour patch?
The luminosities of E and U, as already found, were 30 and 4.
These luminosities can then be added together, and they should equal in luminosity the white light with which the comparison was made.
Now if our luminosity curve is correct, and if the sum of the luminosities of each colour separately is equal to the luminosity of the colours when mixed (which we have shown to be the case in chapter VII.
Other measures fully bore out the fact that the luminosity of the mixed light is equal to the sum of the luminosities of its components.
From this it is apparent that we can check the luminosities derived from other means by this plan.
In the same way the luminosities of colours in the spectrum, equivalent to the white light passing through other apertures of sectors, can be found, and the results may then be plotted in the form of a curve.
Further, it tells us that we can obtain the luminosity of Y, when we know the luminosities of V and E.
The following are the approximate luminosities of the sun when the light shines through 0 atmospheres 1 " 1 " .
An incessant play of dazzlingly brilliant luminosities was kept up in the heavens for several hours.
Another class consisted of luminosities of irregular form, which remained nearly stationary for a considerable time, like the one that gleamed aloft over the Niagara Falls.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "luminosities" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
