In the retinas are green rods, which are receptive to a wide range of wavelengths.

This range has shorter wavelengths which allows better resolution in imaging technologies.

* Band ( radio ), a range of frequencies or wavelengths used in radio transmission and radar

This complex both increases the surface area for light capture, and allows capture of photons with a wider range of wavelengths.

A diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum, showing various properties across the range of frequencies and wavelengths

* The incoming radiation from the Sun is mostly in the form of visible light and nearby wavelengths, largely in the range 0. 2 – 4 μm, corresponding to the Sun's radiative temperature of 6, 000 K. Almost half the radiation is in the form of " visible " light, which our eyes are adapted to use.

Visible light has a wavelength in the range of about 380 nanometres to about 740 nm – between the invisible infrared, with longer wavelengths and the invisible ultraviolet, with shorter wavelengths.

It is used to examine the adhesion of cells to a glass surface, using polarized light of a narrow range of wavelengths to be reflected whenever there is an interface between two substances with different refractive indices.

These typically consist of an excitation filter selecting the range of excitation wavelengths, a dichroic mirror, and an emission filter blocking the excitation light.

Applications requiring higher reflectivity or greater durability, where wide bandwidth is not essential, use dielectric coatings, which can achieve reflectivities as high as 99. 999 % over a narrow range of wavelengths.

In particular, the pump band may consist of several distinct energy levels, or a continuum of levels, which allow optical pumping of the medium over a wide range of wavelengths.

Also known as the myriameter band or myriameter wave as the wavelengths range from ten to one myriameter ( an obsolete metric unit equal to 10 kilometers )

As an example, suppose that light in the orange range of wavelengths ( approximately 577 nm to 597 nm ) enters the eye and strikes the retina.

Spectrometer is a term that is applied to instruments that operate over a very wide range of wavelengths, from gamma rays and X-rays into the far infrared.

The polarization dependent phase shift is long known and was used by Fresnel to design the Fresnel rhomb which allows to transform circular polarization to linear polarization and vice versa for a wide range of wavelengths ( colors ), in contrast to the quarter wave plate.

The range of wavelengths sufficient to provide a description of all possible waves in a crystalline medium corresponds to the wave vectors confined to the Brillouin zone.

It is well known from the theory of Fourier analysis, or from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle ( in the case of quantum mechanics ) that a narrow range of wavelengths is necessary to produce a localized wave packet, and the more localized the envelope, the larger the spread in required wavelengths.

The ytterbium ( III ) ion absorbs light in the near infrared range of wavelengths, but not in visible light, so the mineral ytterbia, Yb < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 3 </ sub >, is white in color and the salts of ytterbium are also colorless.

The amplification window of an optical amplifier is the range of optical wavelengths for which the amplifier yields a usable gain.

For best measurement reproducibility, one would select a diameter that is not near such a transition, although this may not be possible if measurements must be performed over a range of wavelengths.

Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.

Radio frequency ( RF ) is a rate of oscillation in the range of about 3 kHz to 300 GHz, which corresponds to the frequency of radio waves, and the alternating currents which carry radio signals.

In the East, this range of possible dates presently corresponds to May 23 through June 26 on the Gregorian calendar.

Each symbol of the message can then be encoded in turn, by reducing the current range down to just that sub-range which corresponds to the next symbol to be encoded.

The distinction between the noises with α near 1 and those with a broad range of α approximately corresponds to a much more basic distinction.

A larger Nusselt number corresponds to more active convection, with turbulent flow typically in the 100 – 1000 range.

For example, in the category of topological abelian groups, the image of a morphism actually corresponds to the inclusion of the closure of the range of the function.

All privilege levels are integers in the range 0 – 3, where the lowest number corresponds to the highest privilege.

While trying to gauge the range of functions for which convergence of the Fourier series can be shown, Dirichlet defines a function by the property that " to any x there corresponds a single finite y ", but then restricts his attention to piecewise continuous functions.

This division of the island, which roughly follows the mountain range in the center of the island, corresponds to the two ethno-linguistic groups.

The length of the skirt generally corresponds to the tessitura ( high or low range ) of the drum.

The southern extent of the Mediterranean Maghreb corresponds with the 100 mm isohyet, or the southern range of the European Olive ( Olea europea ) and Esparto Grass ( Stipa tenacissima ).

The northern edge of the Sahara corresponds to the 100 mm isohyet, which is also the northern range of the date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera ).

In wavelengths, this range corresponds to 0. 1 mm ( or 100 μm ) infrared to 1. 0 mm microwave.

Actual Sniper Weapon System ( M24 ) adopted in 1988 has stated maximum effective range of 800 meters and a maximum allowed average mean radius ( AMR ) of 1. 9 inches at 300 yards from a machine rest, what corresponds to a 0. 6 MOA ( 0. 5 mrad ) extreme spread for a 5-shot group when using 7. 62 x 51 mm M118 Special Ball cartridges.

This introduces the possibility that a program may attempt to access an address which corresponds to no unit of memory, either because not enough memory is installed ( i. e. beyond the range of available memory ) or the architecture does not support such addresses.

In LB plates containing X-gal, the colour change from white colonies to a shade of blue corresponds to about 20-100 β-galactosidase units, while tetrazolium lactose and MacConkey lactose media have a range of 100-1000 units, being most sensitive in the high and low parts of this range respectively.

When the perceived beat frequency corresponds to the delta, theta, alpha, beta, or gamma range of brainwave frequencies, the brainwaves entrain to or move towards the beat frequency.

The geology of the state corresponds with the Coast Mountain range.

Most widely used in former USSR nations, low intensity ( usually 10 mW / cm < sup > 2 </ sup > or less ) electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequency ( especially in the range 40-70 GHz, which corresponds to wavelength of 7. 5-4. 3 mm ) is used in human medicine for the treatment of many types of diseases.

One millimeter in range corresponds to only 6. 7 ps of round-trip travel time.

The beta state that corresponds to the prior description is, in fact, within the range of 12 to 15 Hz 15-19Hz.
