a shared orientation leading to mutual understanding
they are on the same wavelength - the distance (measured in the direction of propagation) between two points in the same phase in consecutive cycles of a wave
How To Use wavelength In A Sentence
- AERONET is a global network of more than 100 sun photometers that measure the amount of sunlight absorbed by aerosols (fine particles in the air) at wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared.
- Neutral sodium absorbs orange light - at wavelengths of 5890 and 5896 angstroms - from stars that lie behind it.
- However, metals usually absorb rather than reflect the shorter wavelengths of infrared and visible light that are required for photonic circuits.
- The visual system of most bird species, including all passerine birds tested to date, is sensitive to UV wavelengths.
- I don't know which wavelength the station is on - is it on long wave?
- These are mind-boggling questions for a person of normal prudence because in science, colour is simply light of different wavelength.
- Progressively, larger objects substantially increase the timescale for collapse over still longer wavelengths.
- You could go up to a stranger and know they were on the same wavelength.
- So far, we've made nanoscale lasers, photodetectors, and ribbons that serve as flexible sub-wavelength optical waveguides.
- In contrast to a conventional nanoparticle dimer plasmon ruler, this new one shows an approximately linear relationship between the resonance wavelength shifts and nanosphere dimer interparticle separation for a linear plasmon ruler. PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news stories
