Hanging by a Thread Have the Venusians penetrated their cloak of cloud masses with a visible light? Astounding Stories of Super-Science, November, 1930 Its property is to render such substances invisible by absorbing all the visible light rays that fall upon it, from red to violet. Astounding Stories of Super-Science, October, 1930 But there were ways of getting around the letter of a law that didn't concern itself with a definition of visible light. The Velvet Glove The creature must be largely transparent to visible light, as human flesh is radiolucent to hard X-rays. Salvage in Space Carpenter replied that the rays of colored or visible light could only pass through the layer when superimposed upon a carrier wave of ultra-violet or invisible light. Astounding Stories of Super-Science September 1930 Swiftly the beams went through the range of radiation, through radio and short radio, infra-red, visible light, ultra-violet, X-ray, the gammas and the cosmics—a terrific flood of billions of horsepower. Empire The flash was obtained from any distant and visible light by means of a complicated system of mirrors. The Submarine Hunters A Story of the Naval Patrol Work in the Great War What kind of visible light is there, if not radium or the Röntgen ray? The Grain Ship But it was walled with a special plastic that, while opaque to visible light, was perfectly transparent to infra-red. Anything You Can Do ... From these experiments Dr. Ochorowicz concluded that: The actinic action of the emitted rays is feeble, comparatively speaking; and that the visible light of the fluidic hands is less actinic than the invisible light. The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal Didn't I say a dozen times that the psychons are transmuted to perfectly ordinary quanta of visible light? The Ideal In that case the psychons given off by your mind were converted into quanta of visible light, which could be seen. The Point of View The ultraviolet microscope shows us objects hitherto invisible because smaller than the wave length of visible light. The Grain Ship The thinnest film of air was sufficient to produce total reflection of visible light with its extremely short wave lengths. Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose His Life and Speeches Not quite, but pretty nearly, I'll leave a hole in the ether screen to pass visible light—no, I won't either.
