wavelength

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.

We liked working together, and he saw that we had a similar wavelength, and he just kind of tossed it up, like, ‘Hey, how would you feel about scoring a feature?’

But if you can get on its wavelength, there’s a mollifying charm to Travolta’s debut.

Tuned in to a wavelength seemingly all of their own, they won the lot across five years together and in a manner that gained admirers from across the world.

Atoms in the solar atmosphere absorb light at particular wavelengths, leaving dark features in the spectrum called spectral lines.

A spectrum separates light into its component wavelengths, allowing astronomers to investigate the chemistry and motion of distant objects.

"It's a reminder that even in our own cosmic neighbourhood, we can still find surprises if we look in the right way, at the right wavelengths."

Earth's atmosphere naturally glows in these wavelengths, making it much harder for ground based telescopes to detect such faint objects.

However, for orbits whose lengths were not a whole number of wavelengths, each wave crest would eventually be canceled out by a trough as the electrons went round; these orbits would not be allowed.
