Wavelength in sentence

57 examples of Wavelength in a sentence

They're smaller than a wavelength of light, so we have no way to directly observe them.
Now comedy travels along a distinct wavelength from other forms of language.
And this X-ray is specific in its wavelength to the atom that it hits.
They're smaller than the wavelength of light.
Look down that infinite reflection, and it will get dimmer, because some light is lost or absorbed every time, but it will also become greener, because green light, that is light of a wavelength that we perceive as green, is best reflected by most mirrors.
At one end, the basilar membrane is stiff, vibrating only in response to short wavelength, high-frequency sounds.
The other is more flexible, vibrating only in the presence of longer wavelength, low-frequency sounds.
The rhythm of the sinusoids has changed tremendously, just like the rhythm of our life in the past 25 years, so I'm not sure anymore what the wavelength is.
And all of you know the wave equation is the frequency times the wavelength of any wave ... is a constant.
When the frequency goes up, the wavelength comes down.
I measure its wavelength.
From here to here is the wavelength of sound.
The wavelength was 0.2 meters.
The size of a wave is called its wavelength, and how often it comes by is called its frequency.
If you know the wavelength or frequency of a wave of light, you can also figure out its energy.
But on a long wavelength sea, you'd be rolling along, relaxed, low energy.
Some cones are more excited by light that is long wavelength and low energy, and other cones are more excited by short wavelength, high-energy light.
Light that is too short wavelength or high energy gets absorbed by the eye's surface before it can even get to the retina, and light that is too long wavelength doesn't have enough energy to stimulate our retina at all.
The only thing that makes one kind of light different from another is its wavelength.
And the coolest thing of all, no matter the wavelength or energy, the light that we see out in the distant universe is the same thing as the light that we can experience and study here on Earth.
We can clearly identify features of the wave pattern as a whole, most importantly, its wavelength, which is the distance between two neighboring peaks, or two neighboring valleys.
Wavelength is essential for quantum physics because an object's wavelength is related to its momentum, mass times velocity.
A fast-moving object has lots of momentum, which corresponds to a very short wavelength.
A heavy object has lots of momentum even if it's not moving very fast, which again means a very short wavelength.
If you toss a baseball up in the air, its wavelength is a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a meter, far too tiny to ever detect.
So, if we have a pure wave, we can measure its wavelength, and thus its momentum, but it has no position.
We can know a particles position very well, but it doesn't have a wavelength, so we don't know its momentum.
If we keep adding waves, we can make a wave packet with a clear wavelength in one small region.
In order for an object to have a wavelength, it must extend over some region of space, which means it occupies many positions at the same time.
The wavelength of an object limited to a small region of space can't be perfectly defined, though.
