Sentences with phrase «shorter radio wavelengths»
The high - altitude locale 5,000 meters above sea level will enable the ALMA's 12 - meter - wide dishes, at least 50 of them, to probe the shorter radio wavelengths near the infrared that the atmosphere tends to filter out.

Because you have to use a radio wavelength that is smaller than the dimensions of the object you are trying to locate, radar relies on high - frequency waves, just a few inches long (higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths).
This artist's impression represents the burst in different radio wavelengths: blue is a shorter wavelength, red is longer.
For a few seconds, the ionized region reflects short - wavelength radio waves, creating short blips and beeps of sound.
The Very Large Array radio observatory in New Mexico will supplement Juno's data with its own set of short - wavelength microwave observations.
Its dishes collect wavelengths about a millimeter or less — much shorter than those detected by traditional radio telescopes.
They produce electromagnetic radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum at all wavelengths from long - wave radio to the shortest wavelength gamma rays.
Optical technologies can finagle light in the shorter - wavelength visible and infrared range, while electromagnetic techniques can manipulate longer - wavelength radiation like microwaves and radio waves.
Newly arrived at UC Berkeley, Townes soon learned of plans by young professor William «Jack» Welch to build a short - wavelength radio telescope, and offered some of his startup funds to build a maser amplifier and microwave spectrometer so the telescope could be used to search for evidence of complex molecules, like ammonia, in space.
This unprecedented image of Herbig - Haro object HH 46/47 combines radio observations acquired with the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA) with much shorter wavelength visible light observations from ESO's New Technology Telescope (NTT).
The New Worlds Technology Development Program, which lays the scientific groundwork for a future mission to study nearby Earth - like planets, and the Cerro Chajnantor Atacama Telescope, which would provide short - wavelength radio surveys to study dusty material associated with galaxies and stars, are ranked the highest priority for midsize space - and ground - based programs, respectively.
Shorter wavelength radio waves are thought to be emitted close into the root of the jet, so the result shows that the magnetic field is stronger and better aligned at the root of the jet.
These wavelengths vary from radio waves, the longest, to gamma rays, the shortest.
The most highly variable parts of the Sun's spectrum of radiation are found at the very shortest wavelengths — the ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray region — and in the very longest and far less energetic band of radio waves.
