Luminous energy |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |

Luminous energy The radiant energy in the visible region or quantity of light. It is in the form of electromagnetic waves, and since the visible region is commonly taken as extending 380–760 nanometers in wavelength, the luminous energy is contained within that region. It is equal to the time integral of the production of the luminous flux. See Photometry |

The luminous energy introduced an aspect of fragility and impalpability and not only created a crisis for the primary object (sometimes bottles as well as various fabric items) but also altered the way colors and forms were read. According to astronomer Charles Lada of the University of Arizona, the large, hot infant will begin to cool and contract for 1 million to 2 million years, until its density causes nuclear fusion to replace gravitational pull as the main source of luminous energy. |
