  2. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    In the context of this article, "faster-than-light" means the transmission of information or matter faster than c, a constant equal to the speed of light in vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s (by definition of the metre) [ 3] or about 186,282.397 miles per second. This is not quite the same as traveling faster than light, since:

  3. Automotive lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_lighting

    Sealed beam headlights were introduced in 1936 and standardized as the only acceptable type in the US in 1940. Self-cancelling turn signals were developed in 1940. By 1945, headlights and signal lights were integrated into the body styling. Halogen headlights were developed in Europe in 1960.

  4. Lightning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning

    High-speed videos (examined frame-by-frame) show that most negative CG lightning flashes are made up of 3 or 4 individual strokes, though there may be as many as 30. [ 66 ] Each re-strike is separated by a relatively large amount of time, typically 40 to 50 milliseconds, as other charged regions in the cloud are discharged in subsequent strokes.

  5. Xenon arc lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_arc_lamp

    15 kW xenon short-arc lamp used in IMAX projectors High-speed, slow-motion video of a xenon flashtube recorded at a speed of 44,025 frames per second. A xenon arc lamp is a highly specialized type of gas discharge lamp, an electric light that produces light by passing electricity through ionized xenon gas at high pressure.

  6. Lightning Network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network

    The Lightning Network (LN) is a payment protocol built on the Bitcoin blockchain and those of other cryptocurrencies. [ 1] It is intended to enable fast transactions among participating nodes (independently run members of the network) and has been proposed as a solution to the bitcoin scalability problem. [ 2][ 3] It is a peer-to-peer system ...

  7. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    The speed of light in vacuum is defined to be exactly 299 792 458 m/s (approx. 186,282 miles per second). The fixed value of the speed of light in SI units results from the fact that the metre is now defined in terms of the speed of light. All forms of electromagnetic radiation move at exactly this same speed in vacuum.

  8. Approach lighting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approach_lighting_system

    An approach lighting system ( ALS) is a lighting system installed on the approach end of an airport runway and consisting of a series of lightbars, strobe lights, or a combination of the two that extends outward from the runway end. [1] ALS usually serves a runway that has an instrument approach procedure (IAP) associated with it and allows the ...
