Light produced by an electronic display has to be of adequate intensity, often vaguely described as its "brightness". A more scientific term is luminance in candels per square metre(cd/m2). Visual perception of a pattern depends crucially on contrast. This becomes very noticeable when the controls are adjusted on a CRT [cathode-ray tube] display. Characters may become hard to distinguish and may be lost in the background luminance when the controls are wrongly set. 2, record 9, English, - background%20luminance

Doppler lidar is used to measure the velocity of a target. When the light transmitted from the lidar hits a target moving towards or away from the lidar, the wavelength of the light reflected/scattered off the target will be changed slightly. This is known as a Doppler shift-hence Doppler Lidar. If the target is moving away from the lidar, the return light will have a longer wavelength(sometimes referred to as a red shift), if moving towards the lidar the return light will be at a shorter wavelength(blue shifted). The target can be either a hard target or an atmospheric target-the atmosphere contains many microscopic dust and aerosol particles which are carried by the wind. 3, record 11, English, - Doppler%20lidar

The Physics of Hard Spheres Experiment(PHaSE)... will be performed in a multi-angle Light Scattering Instrument(LSI). Within the LSI, seven hard-sphere samples of varying concentrations of three components will be housed in individual glass cells mounted onto a precision rotary stage. The exact ratio of the three components is dependent on the specific volume fraction of solids to liquids desired; each sample will have a slightly different ratio. During operation, each of the samples will be rotated into position for light scattering/data collection activities using both static and dynamic laser sources. Data will be collected using both a high-definition CCD [Charged Coupled Device] camera to record images of the cells and photon counters to measure light scattering. 2, record 13, English, - physics%20of%20hard%20spheres%20experiment
