wavelength

The size of the sideways shift depends only on the wavelength of the light and not on how tightly the laser beam is focused.

Shorter blue wavelengths scattering more easily, while more of the longer wavelength red light reaches the moon.

The study examined indigo light, a short wavelength of visible light that is plentiful in natural sunlight but largely absent from standard white LED lighting.

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.

The team expects future observations using multiple wavelengths and similarly precise instruments to uncover a wider range of elements in exoplanet atmospheres.

Spectra contain information about how an object's light is distributed across different wavelengths.

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.
