The phrase "action of light" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to physics, photography, or any discussion involving the effects or behaviors of light.
Example: "The action of light on the surface of the water created beautiful reflections."
Alternatives: "effect of light" or "behavior of light".
Hydrogen atoms were inserted into oxide films detached under the action of light from organic molecules.
In 1874 Abney made the first quantitative measurements of the action of light on photographic materials.
Black ink goes brown, papers bleach or darken, colour values change for ever under the action of light.
Daniolos, A., Lerner, A. B. & Lerner, M. R. Action of light on frog pigment cells in culture.
Photodynamism, conversion of certain substances in the skin of animals into other substances by the action of light.
Fragility is a major disadvantage, and only coloured glass protects those products sensitive to the action of light.
By electrically stimulating remaining healthy nerve cells in the retina using an electrode, sensations of light can be elicited in the person's visual field, thus mimicking the action of light-sensitive photoreceptors that were damaged by disease.
For example, in evaluating whether the camper's lighting of the fire caused the forest, we have to consider what would have happened in those closest possible worlds in which the camper's action of lighting the fire did not occur.
Yet melanopsin is expressed in a class of mammalian retinal ganglion cells centrally involved in the regulation of the circadian cycle and in other "non-imaging" actions of light.
Although this luminance level is rather low to elicit such alerting effects, it is likely that the higher amount of blue component in the action spectra of light at 6500K may suffice to elicit these alerting effects.
19 The action spectrum of light information for the circadian biological rhythm shows a peak at a shorter wavelength (464 nm) than that for visual information (approximately 555 nm).
