"discontinuous light" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It can be used to describe light that is not continuous, such as light that flickers or is intermittent. Here are some examples: - The strobe lights at the dance club emitted a bright, discontinuous light that added to the energy of the music. - The old lighthouse was known for its discontinuous light, which sailors found difficult to navigate by. - The scientist's experiment involved exposing the plants to discontinuous light patterns to see how it affected their growth.
But other comets have very discontinuous light curves that make them totally unpredictable, such as comet C/1989 X1 (Austin), which first rose steeply in brightness and then leveled off to finish several magnitudes fainter than expected; and numerous comets such as the recent C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) break apart and fade from view (as C/1999 S4 did in July and August 2000).
The achievement of the highest value in a discontinuous light supply may be related with possible photooxidation [33, 34].
galbana under a discontinuous light regime was better than that under continuous one.
This river seems to exist in discontinuous plaques of light, flattened sheets, interrupted by moments of turbulence.
In 1903 he had the opportunity to amplify his views on the behaviour of subatomic particles in natural phenomena when, in his Silliman Lectures at Yale, he suggested a discontinuous theory of light; his hypothesis foreshadowed Einstein's later theory of photons.
Collectively, these data indicate that ICG binds to lipid presented in empty preformed liposomes and leads to liposome aggregates, detected as an apparent increase in particle size, and a discontinuous increase in light scattering intensity.
During this time, sponges, such as Actinocoelia meandrina, proliferated, only to be buried in lime mud and their internal silica needles (spicules) dissolved and recrystallized to form discontinuous layers of light-colored chert.
We propagate partially coherent light through discontinuous surfaces and analyze the optical effects in phase space.
In contemporary science this dichotomy has lost its sharpness, owing to the fact that the distinction between material phenomena, which were supposed to be discontinuous, and the phenomena of light, which were supposed to be continuous, appears to be only a relative one.
We study nonlinear pulse propagation, breather formation and nonlinear localization leading to passive wave arrest in an impulsively forced two-dimensional granular network composed of two geometrically coupled ordered granular chains of spherical (heavy) beads with interstitial spherical (light) intruders, possessing discontinuous lateral boundary conditions.
This diffuse light from both discontinuous ends joined to form a channel constriction (orifice) at the hydrodynamic focusing junction.
