Certain infrared wavelengths were blocked while others passed through.

Not exact matches

Instead, researchers want to look at the effect of magnetism on certain wavelengths of infrared light emitted by the corona.

An infrared laser is aimed at a sample of a chemical — gas, liquid or solid — and certain wavelengths are absorbed.

Moreover, because of limitations inherent in their design, metamaterials of this type designed for infrared and visible wavelengths have, so far, been shown to impart a negative index of refraction to light that is traveling only in a certain direction, making them hard to use for imaging and other applications that rely on refracted light.

Planetary atmospheres can block certain wavelengths of light, depending on what kind of chemicals they contain, so the fact that one wavelength of infrared radiation is blocked while another passes through can help astronomers understand that there's not only an atmosphere there, but also provide clues as to what it's made of.

There's structures inside the cells, inside the mitochondria that respond directly to certain wavelengths of near infrared light.

However, SIM suggests that ultraviolet irradiance fell far more than expected between 2004 and 2007 — by ten times as much as the total irradiance did — while irradiance in certain visible and infrared wavelengths surprisingly increased, even as solar activity wound down overall.

Greenhouse gases absorb some of the infrared energy that Earth emits in so - called bands of stronger absorption that occur at certain wavelengths.
