500nm Bandpass Filter

Light with a wavelength of 500nm falls near the cyan/teal color spectrum and while it has some applications, it's not as widely used as some other wavelengths. Here's a breakdown:

  • Limited Visibility: The human eye perceives 500nm light as a very specific shade of teal/cyan. It's not commonly used for illumination purposes because our eyes are most sensitive to green light (around 520-570nm).

  • Biomedical Applications (Potential): There's some ongoing research into the use of 480nm-500nm light for photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT uses light to activate a photosensitizing drug, generating a cytotoxic effect that can target specific cells. However, this area is still under development.

  • Combination in Light Sources: While not a standalone application, 500nm light might be included in some LED light sources to achieve a specific desired color temperature or for theatrical lighting effects.
