40 examples of Wavelengths in a sentence

And what you see here is these cells glowing in the dark under certain wavelengths of light.
As we were working on this, it dawned on us: this is taking infrared radiation, wavelengths, and converting it into electrons.
The OED defines spectrum as "The entire range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, from the longest radio waves to the shortest gamma rays of which the range of visible light is only a small part."
And here I'm going to pull out the double wavelengths and increase the single.
At certain wavelengths, in particular between eight and 13 microns, our atmosphere has what's known as a transmission window.
Different wavelengths of light have different activities of doing that.
So you can look at the wavelengths of light that do that.
If you live up here, in summer the sun is coming fairly directly down, but in winter it's coming through a huge amount of atmosphere, and much of the ultraviolet is weeded out, and the range of wavelengths that hit the Earth are different from summer to winter.
Well, physicist brain then shows up and very calmly explains, "No, no, no, we're at 50 feet, red wavelengths are attenuated.
If the waves that day have long wavelengths, they'll make you bob only so often, or at a low frequency.
If the waves, instead, have short wavelengths, they'll be close together, and you'll bob up and down much more often, at a high frequency.
Different kinds of light are all waves, they just have different wavelengths and frequencies.
Long wavelengths have low energies, while short wavelengths have high energies.
Radio waves have long wavelengths, while x-rays have short wavelengths.
Even though our eyes can't detect light outside of the visible range, we can build special detectors that are stimulated by these other wavelengths of light, kind of like digital eyes.
Ice absorbs longer, redder wavelengths of light, and reflects shorter, bluer light.
Today, a laser is used to penetrate the epidermis and blast apart underlying pigment colors of various wavelengths, black being the easiest to target.
Red light has lower energy and longer wavelengths.
Purple light has higher energy and shorter wavelengths.
Small things, like atoms or electrons though, can have wavelengths big enough to measure in physics experiments.
By combining waves with different wavelengths, which means giving our quantum object some possibility of having different momenta.
So it exists in many different wavelengths at the same time.
Our system uses 12 wavelengths of light between the ultraviolet and the infrared, and these are shown down onto the manuscript from above from banks of LEDs, and another multispectral light source which comes up through the individual leaves of the manuscript.
She knows how different wavelengths of light stimulate three types of cone cells in the retina, and she knows how electrical signals travel down the optic nerve into the brain.
We can see in invisible wavelengths or teleport to the top of a mountain.
As light travels deeper into the water, we lose the red wavelengths, then the green wavelengths, leaving us with blue at the far depths.
So not only do we detect the planets but we can look at this light in different wavelengths.
Well, it turns out that if we were to zoom in at radio wavelengths, we'd expect to see a ring of light caused by the gravitational lensing of hot plasma zipping around the black hole.
In reality, white light includes wavelengths that correspond to all the different colors we can see.
The light they emit would be redshifted to long wavelengths with very low, faint energies, and the gas emanating from them would be too thin to create new stars.
