Glare occurs entirely internally to the eye, and there are two main types of
glare effects. The first is the corona, which forms the fuzzy glow you see
around a light at night, or the rays which seem to shoot out from the light
of the sun. The second is the lenticular halo, which is only seen when the
pupils are dilated enough and is a color banded halo which is usually
visible surrounding the corona.

WRONG

This isn't even within the range of the two wavelength clues offered.



Dear Readers,

Let's examine why this answer is so wholly lacking:

1. The wavelength described, as already noted, is a wild foul out of
the ballpark;

2. a popular choice? This conjecture is broadly announced with the
characteristic couching of terms "might be" to hedge the answer. My
later discussion will reveal why no one would choose this at all;

3. logical choice? Absolutely no logic is offered - hence it is
exactly what it appears to be - a wild guess, My later discussion
will point out why this has no basis in logic whatever;

4. the wavelength doesn't matter? Given this is application driven,
the topic of Glare being just that, Glare is highly specific to
wavelength and is very intimately associated with perception. These
are two areas of discussion that exhibit considerable errors.

Naturally I will tie this all together in later discussion in a new
thread. And I will show:
"What is the wavelength of Glare?"
the answer of which has already been posted by me (see above) ;-)
