The calculation may be related to Edward Hussey Delaval's work on this subject, read at the Royal Society of London in January 1765 and published as a pamphlet later that year. 6 In that paper, Delaval related color to density, as specific gravity, suggesting that greater density should reflect the more refrangible rays. reference ❋ Unknown (2006)
When we say that the blood circulates, that the air is weighty, that the rays of the sun are a bundle of seven refrangible rays, it follows not that we are of the sect of Harvey, of Torricelli, or of ❋ Unknown (2007)
In 1889 Widmark's important work had demonstrated that the most refrangible rays of the spectrum, in particular the ultraviolet rays, had a strong and specific effect on those parts of the body surface which were exposed to them. ❋ Unknown (1967)
Finsen's stroke of genius in his later work was to attempt to make therapeutic use of the powerful biological effects of highly refrangible rays. ❋ Unknown (1967)
Thon Taddeo had been answering questions about his work with less reticence than usual, no longer worried, apparently, about such controversial subjects as the refrangible property of light, or the ambitious of Thon Esser Shon. ❋ Miller, Walter M. (1959)
"I was wondering what there is about the refrangible property of light that you thought might be offensive to religion?" ❋ Miller, Walter M. (1959)
The bactericidal action of light appears to depend upon the more refrangible rays of the violet end of the spectrum and is noted whether the red yellow rays are transmitted or not. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
The rays proceeding from atoms of small mass having less material momentum, are the most refrangible, and those possessing greater material momentum, are the least refrangible; so that instead of presenting a difficulty in the undulatory theory of light, this dispersion is a necessary consequence of its first principles. ❋ T. Bassnett (N/A)
It was shown that the merest trace of soluble haloid would reverse an image by the extraction of bromine from it, and the fact that the most refrangible part of the spectrum was principally efficacious in completing this action showed how necessary it was to avoid falling into error when analyzing photographic action by the spectroscope. ❋ Various (N/A)
The lightning flashed in vivid darts, which seemed to play along the sides of the pass, until the attractive adamant deviated the refrangible fluid; which then buried itself in some deep crevice of the pendent rocks. ❋ Colin Munro (N/A)
The fact that the Greeks did not name green and blue does not, of course, indicate (as Mr. Gladstone and others have alleged) that they could not see the more refrangible rays of the spectrum, but it does show a lack of interest in these colors. ❋ Various (N/A)
The remarkable coolness of the electric light, as compared with its volume by gas, is also due in a great measure to the conspicuous absence of that large excess of less refrangible, or heat-radiating principle, which distinguishes almost equally all other modes of artificial illumination. ❋ Various (N/A)
In this connection I am led to speak of the common idea that electric light is injurious to the eyes, first, because of its unsteady character, and secondly, by reason of the great excess of the more refrangible rays. ❋ Various (N/A)
There can be no doubt that the process, in a great majority, if not in all cases, which have been noticed among inorganic substances, is a deoxidizing one, so far as the more refrangible rays are concerned. ❋ Peter C. Duchochois (N/A)
No doubt this is so with light containing the highly refrangible rays in excess; but it is difficult to see how such an effect can occur with light composed as is the light with which the eyes are constructed to operate in perfect harmony. ❋ Various (N/A)
Mean displacements of lines towards the less refrangible end of the spectrum are certainly revealed by statistical investigations of the fixed stars; but up to the present the examination of the available data does not allow of any definite decision being arrived at, as to whether or not these displacements are to be referred in reality to the effect of gravitation. ❋ Unknown (1920)
The most reflexible rays are the most refrangible, and from hence he evinces that the same power is the cause both of the reflection and refraction of light. ❋ Voltaire (1909)
From these facts it is evident that matter set in motion by the sun has the power of producing heat without light, and that its rays are less refrangible than the visible rays. ❋ Various (1909)
There seem to be rays, therefore, more refrangible than the rays producing light and heat. ❋ Various (1909)
And so the true cause of the length of that image was detected to be no other than that light consists of rays differently refrangible, which, without any respect to a difference in their incidence, were, according to their degrees of refrangibility, transmitted towards divers parts of the wall.
