Plotting The Emissions

a: Emission spectrum ~
b: histogram

What: "An emission spectrum is like a histogram defining the distribution of the number of emitted photons that fall on any particular wavelength. In a line emission spectra the photons fall into discrete frequencies which corresponds to the transition of electrons over the energy levels."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
