The surface was covered with nanoscale pillars, each smaller than the wavelength of the pump's light.

Across the modeled wavelength range of 365-455 nm, the required decadic absorption coefficient reaches about 1,278 cm-1 at 375 nm.

Sunlight passing through the Earth's atmosphere is scattered, with shorter blue wavelengths scattering more easily, while more of the longer wavelength red light reach the Moon.

Its principal task was to show that the gravitational pull of the sun increased the wavelength of light rays, the so-called red shift, which would help verify Einstein’s theory of relativity.

So you have a bunch of regularly-spaced waves that are trapped, bouncing back and forth in a container that fits their wavelength perfectly.

Satellite sensors like the one on the new Tanager-2 can detect the invisible gas by measuring wavelengths of light bouncing off the earth’s surface.

More of the shorter blue wavelengths of light are scattered, allowing the yellows, oranges and reds to become more prominent.

At the same frequency, phonons have much shorter wavelengths than light, making it possible to build considerably smaller components and pack them more tightly together.

Newer trackers have higher-intensity LEDs with additional wavelengths to improve data capture on all skin tones.
