That said, if I saw that picture you posted and it said "By understanding how light is XXXXed by the sun" and I didn't know what XXXXed meant but knew all of the other words, my guesses would be:
- Give off
- Radiate
- Send in all directions
- Send in lines
- Shines directly at the camera
- Make into astar or asterisk shape
- etc

No. To me, that image conveys "erupt" or "spew", as in "The volcano is erupting" and "The lava is spewing from the volcano". You would not normally say "The volcano is emitting lava", even though it sort of is emitting lava, but not quite in the sense of emitting radiation or light.

sg2019 wrote:This last image of volcano contiguously occurs with the verbal context of "emitted light", and I think this imagery depicts the meaning of emitted light, that's why I am going to consider it as a frequency. Do you still insist on your previous interpretation, please?

tommus wrote:Maybe. If you had a series of images that are meant to convey the idea of 'emitted light', then yes; this image could be part of the series. But by itself, it primarily conveys other meanings, such as volcano, lava, erupt, etc. If you had just the image with the caption 'emit' or 'emitted light', and you expected a person who did not know those words to instantly realise that the image was conveying the concept of light being emitted from the hot lava, then no. That is not the main impression that the image conveys. Better to use a light bulb, or just the sun, or something hot with arrows coming out of it.
