Sentence examples for some wavelength from inspiring English sources

The commonly accepted definitions of the gamma-ray and X-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum include some wavelength overlap, with gamma-ray radiation having wavelengths that are generally shorter than a few tenths of an angstrom (10−10 metre) and gamma-ray photons having energies that are greater than tens of thousands of electron volts (eV).

The lack of spectral resolution in some wavelength band at the extremity of the spectrum is equivalent to operating with a smaller bandwidth, which will lead to a reduction in the axial resolution.

Because the fluorescent dyes used in most microarray assays have slightly different efficiencies for light emission, the detection efficiencies of the phototubes has some wavelength dependence and hence differ for the different dyes, and because the PMTs exhibit nonlinearities at high and low intensities, the log-ratios measured often exhibit some systematic, intensity-dependent variation.

Radiation of some wavelengths, however, can cause glass molecules to vibrate, making the glass opaque to those wavelengths.

Since, optically speaking, energy levels correspond to wavelengths, such an arrangement can be tweaked to reflect some wavelengths and preferentially emit others.

It was designed to take advantage of an orbital vantage point above the Earth's atmosphere, which smears images and blocks some wavelengths of light from reaching ground-based telescopes.

Being insulators, the elements of a photonic crystal constrain this propagation, permitting some wavelengths to pass while denying passage to others, which are thus reflected.

The interaction between light and the atoms of individual elements in a star's outer layers causes some wavelengths to be suppressed, and others to be amplified.

Down on earth, organisms assume many of their colors with pigments, chemical substances that selectively absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect others — the ones we then see as the object's color.

Light entering this lattice gets bounced around in ways that generate colour by reinforcing the peaks of some wavelengths and cancelling out those of others.For many years researchers have been trying to develop a synthetic material with the same light-scattering properties as an opal, by etching patterns into various materials.

Since World War II, another type of filter depending on the interference of light has been developed in which one or more metallic or other types of films of controlled thickness have been deposited on a glass plate, the layers being so thin as to cause selective interference of some wavelengths in relation to others and thus act as a nonabsorbing filter.
