RE: Cherenkov Radiation: Sonic Boom For Light? Beautiful Phenomenon!

in #life8 years ago

Your posts are really good so far. I enjoy learning about new topics in science. Does the blue light come through normal photography or is some kind of filter needed? I may not find the answer firsthand, though, as I don't plan on climbing into any nuclear reactors soon. :) When you have time, please contact me on Steemit.chat. Thanks.

The blue light should be able to be picked up just from a regular camera or even the naked eye! It is the same kind of light you see whenever you see a blue object. There are a wide range of blue wavelengths being emitted and some are ultra-violet so the combination is quite unique but what you see in the photos is actually what it looks like in reality! Amazing right?
