His learned preoccupation with optics, the struggles to analyze and represent the diffusion of light, fathered a poetry of radiance and grandfathers him into the ancestry of Impressionism; his emotively weighty manipulation of pigment did the same for Expressionism.
But the sonority had an uncommon aura — something of the magical quality that Charles Baudelaire, in his 1861 essay on Wagner, described as a "wide diffusion of light," an "immensity with no other décor but itself".
As the historian Therese Dolan observes, Charles Baudelaire exhibited both kinds of synesthesia, listening to paintings by Delacroix ("The admirable chords of his color often make one dream of harmony and melody") and gazing upon the orchestral music of Wagner ("an immense horizon and a wide diffusion of light").
The iridescence probably arises from diffusion of light by adjoining areas of different optical properties, or from reflection and diffraction of the separating crystals of the two different substances.
The coronagraph must be used at high altitudes and on very clear days, when the atmospheric diffusion of light is at a minimum; imperfect lenses or dust inside the instrument will scatter enough photospheric light to obscure the dim solar corona.
The new Zeon film inhibits the diffusion of light from the backlight.
If the stratified layer evolved from the CMB through the diffusion of light elements, the thickness of the layer is essentially determined by the diffusion coefficient of the core liquid.
We examine the tortuosity for diffusion of light gases in nanoporous carbons using the Oscillator model of low pressure transport developed in the first author's laboratory, which incorporates van der Waals interactions.
The ever-changing diffusion of light from morning to night through the different colors and textures is a sight to behold".
Although the diffusion of light through tissue is well described by the photon transport equation [ 32, 33], it is still unclear how this equation has to be modified to take into account the effect of multiple scattering by the nanoshells.
