Spectrum

What do we mean by spectrum?

The entire range over which some measurable property of a physical system or phenomenon can vary, such as the frequency of sound, the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, or the mass of specific kinds of particles. noun

A graphic or photographic representation of such a measurable range; a spectrogram. noun

A range of radio frequencies assigned by a regulatory agency for use by a given group or organization. noun

A range of values of a quantity or set of related quantities. noun

A broad sequence or range of related qualities, ideas, or activities. noun

That portion, of any spectrum, which consists of rays less refrangible than the longest wave-lengths of the visible spectrum. noun

A specter; a ghostly phantom. noun

An image of something seen, continuing after the eyes are closed, covered, or turned away. noun

In physics, the continuous band of light (visible spectrum) showing the successive prismatic colors, or the isolated lines or bands of color, observed when the radiation from such a source as the sun, or an ignited vapor in a gas-flame, is viewed after having been passed through a prism (prismatic spectrum) or reflected from a diffraction-grating (diffraction- or interference-spectrum). noun

In zoology, a generic name variously used: noun

A genus of lepidopterous insects. noun

A genus of gressorial orthopterous insects: same as noun

A genus of lemuroid mammals: same as noun

The specific name of some animals, including Tarsius spectrum and Phyllostoma spectrum. noun

An apparition; a specter. noun

The several colored and other rays of which light is composed, separated by the refraction of a prism or other means, and observed or studied either as spread out on a screen, by direct vision, by photography, or otherwise. See Illust. of Light, and Spectroscope. noun

A luminous appearance, or an image seen after the eye has been exposed to an intense light or a strongly illuminated object. When the object is colored, the image appears of the complementary color, as a green image seen after viewing a red wafer lying on white paper. Called also ocular spectrum. noun

A range; a continuous, infinite, one-dimensional set, possibly bounded by extremes.

Specifically, a range of colours representing light (electromagnetic radiation) of contiguous frequencies; hence electromagnetic spectrum, visible spectrum, ultraviolet spectrum, etc.

The autism spectrum.

The pattern of absorption or emission of radiation produced by a substance when subjected to energy (radiation, heat, electricity, etc.).

The set of eigenvalues of a matrix.

Of a bounded linear operator A, the set of scalar values λ such that the operator A—λI, where I denotes the identity operator, does not have a bounded inverse; intended as a generalisation of the linear algebra sense.

(abstract algebra) The set, denoted Spec(R), of all prime ideals of a given ring R, commonly augmented with a Zariski topology and considered as a topological space.

Specter, apparition.

The image of something seen that persists after the eyes are closed.

Noun; 1. A continuous distribution of colored light produced when a beam of white light is dispersed into its components, e.g. by a prism. 2. A range of radiation frequencies that have a particular property. 3. A visual record of the wavelengths of the radiation or particles emitted (see Emit) by a substance, used as a means of analyzing its physical properties such as energy and mass. 4. A range of values, especially one with opposite values at its limits. 5. The range of organisms that an antibiotic can kill. Urban Dictionary
