Är det fluorescerande (självlysande) och Halogen?? |
| | | fluorescerande/wolfram | Explanation:
btw, självlysande = autoluminescent, not exactly the same...
Tungsten (Swedish tung sten meaning "heavy stone"), even though the current name for the element in Swedish is wolfram (sometimes spelled in Swedish as volfram), from the denomination volf rahm by Wallerius in 1747, translated from the description by Agricola in 1546 as Lupi spuma, meaning "wolf's froth" after the way tin is eaten up like a wolf after sheep in the process of its extraction[1].
It was first hypothesized to exist by Peter Woulfe in 1779 who examined wolframite and concluded that it must contain a new substance. In 1781 Carl Wilhelm Scheele ascertained that a new acid could be made from tungstenite. Scheele and Torbern Bergman suggested that it could be possible to obtain a new metal by reducing tungstic acid. In 1783 José and Fausto Elhuyar found an acid in wolframite that was identical to tungstic acid. In Spain later that year the brothers succeeded in isolating tungsten through reduction of this acid with charcoal. They are credited with the discovery of the element. |

7 hrs confidence:  peer agreement (net): +1 | fluorescent/tungsten Lysrörsljus/glödlampsljus
Explanation:
Har att göra med vitbalansinställningen på en kamera. Om du fotograferar inomhus i lysrörsbelysning så använd "fluorescent", i vanligt glödlampsljus så använd "Tungsten" (glödtråden i en vanlig glödlampa är gjord av Wolfram=Tungsten), utomhus i dagsljus så använd "daylight" etc.
