Which would be the characteristic of an occulting light?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Occulting light vs flashing light – which one has longer periods of light than darkness? • Total period of the light sequence (add all flashes + eclipses) • In an occulting light, think about whether the light is mostly on or mostly off during each full cycle

💭 Think About

• For each choice, compare the total time the light is ON to the total time it is OFF. In an occulting light, which should be greater? • Look at the pattern names you know: flashing, occulting, isophase. Which one has equal on/off? Which one has short flashes of light and long darkness? Which one is the opposite? • For each option, decide: does this behave like a light that is mainly shining with short periods of darkness, or mainly dark with short periods of light?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which definition matches occulting: light more ON than OFF, or more OFF than ON. • Check that the chosen option’s light duration in one full cycle is greater than its eclipse (dark) duration. • Confirm that the option you pick is NOT isophase (equal light and dark) and NOT a typical flashing pattern (short light, long dark).
