Preposition: of

• nm: The diode laser operates at a wavelength of 410 nm.

• micron: Carbon dioxide molecules absorb radiant heat at a wavelength of 15 microns.

• radiation: By tracing how the wavelength of the radiation varies we can measure the velocity of the Hydrogen, using the Doppler shift.

Converse of object

• absorb: Any surface that absorbs all wavelengths strongly will appear black.

Adjective modifier

• infrared: Special modifications are required for use at infrared wavelengths.

• near-infrared: The above image pair shows the core of NGC 1705 in both optical as well as near-infrared wavelengths taken with Hubble.

• far-infrared: ASTRO-F will map the Universe at infrared and far-infrared wavelengths revealing the heat glow of objects hidden behind clouds of cosmic dust.

• ultraviolet: Small quantities may also be produced by certain ultraviolet light wavelengths.

• etheric: This way we set up a direct link to the etheric wavelengths and the rest is easy.

• optical: However, the technology to do this at optical wavelengths is not yet available.

Modifies a noun

• lambda: The spacing of these fringes is calculated from the wavelength lambda of the light.

• calibration: No wavelength calibration or flux calibration have been applied.

• &lambda: At wavelengths well away from an absorption band the optical rotation varies approximately with wavelength λ as 1 / λ 2.

• ultraviolet: Unless it is exposed to longer wavelength ultraviolet radiation it seems to have little action.

Noun used with modifier

• sub-millimetre: Astronomers detect light at sub-millimetre wavelengths in order to penetrate clouds of cosmic dust.

• submillimetre: It will also be interesting to observe the HDF galaxies detected by ISO at submillimetre wavelengths, for example with SCUBA on the JCMT.

• near-ir: At optical and near-IR wavelength the image quality distribution has a long ( non-Gaussian ) tail.

• excitation: With the addition of the copper metal center in compound 2, the uranium emission is absent regardless of the excitation wavelength.

• µm: This false color image was made by combining infrared camera images at 9 & 18 µm wavelength.

• cut-off: The international reference test method defines the cut-off wavelength at which the ratio drops below 0.1 dB.
