Abstract
The spectral composition of the light of Chaetopterus variopedatus has been measured by means of spectral niters and multiplier phototube. Spectral emission extends from about 405 to 605 mμ, with a maximum at about 465 mμ. The spectral curve of Chaetopterus light is compared with a human visibility curve (scotopic vision), a visibility curve for Limulus, and an absorption curve for fish visual purple. Luminous efficiencies, based on these curves, are calculated.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
