Definition of actinic in English:

actinic

adjective akˈtɪnɪkækˈtɪnɪk

technical

(of light or lighting) able to cause photochemical reactions, as in photography, through having a significant short wavelength or ultraviolet component.
Example sentencesExamples
- These states were detected both by short actinic flashes and by the switching of the actinic illumination level between different stationary state values.
- Leaves were then illuminated with actinic light and saturating flashes of 0.7 s duration were applied every 1.5 min.
- This approach can be very cost-effective, since the cost of non-LED based actinic illumination is significantly lower than LED-based illumination.
- Following this, leaves were illuminated with actinic light until a steady-state photosynthetic rate was reached.
- Continuous actinic illumination was provided through the fourth port of the vessel from a Schott KL1500 light source.

Derivatives

actinism

noun ˈaktɪˌnɪz(ə)mˈæktəˌnɪzəm

technical

Optical radiation may cause chemical changes in living or non-living materials: this property is called actinism and radiation capable of causing such changes is referred to as actinic radiation.
Example sentencesExamples
- The author here suggests the introduction of a useful word, radiance, to express the light, radiant heat, and actinism of the sun, which are evidently modifications of the same form of energy.
- The germination of seeds in the spring is dependent upon the variations in the amount of actinism or chemical influence of light and heat.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from Greek aktis, aktin- 'ray' + -ic.

Rhymes

clinic, cynic, Finnic, Jacobinic, rabbinic
