Wavelength Quotes

This is an exceptional period of time for astronomy, because for the first time we are able to combine data from almost all of the important wavelengths. - David Koo

This hydrogen gas emits radio waves with a wavelength of 21 centimeters, so they come in at about 1,420 megahertz on the radio dial. We were able to find that there is a magnetic field permeating this gas cloud and that its direction is pointing towards us above the cloud and then flips to pointing away from us on the bottom. - Timothy Robishaw

These processes are hidden behind clouds of dust. But longer wavelength infrared light penetrates the dust better. - Neal Evans

The problem I see with the long wavelength is that it's not necessarily going to offer me, the customer, the lowest-cost solution. - Mike Bennett

The new 1310 nm OBR from Luna Technologies fills a very important measurement need for us... It has all of the functionality in terms of sensitivity, range, and resolution as the 1550 nm system, but it allows us to measure critical components in the wavelength band they were designed to operate. - Scott Williams

That's a very powerful combination which is made possible by the broad wavelength coverage we have. - Michael Werner

Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wavelength of ours all they hear is a continuous scream. - Iris Murdoch

It took us over a year to convince ourselves that we did [the calculations] well. But we found the same signal at all wavelengths. - Alexander Kashlinsky

It hasn't been frustrating in a sense that it's going to take me away from what I'm trying to do. It hasn't been frustrating that it's going to drive me into a wall or something. The thing that bothered me was the fact that there's 52 other guys out here who are trying to make something happen with this team, trying to make an impact. When they see everything going back and forth, hearing this or seeing that, the kind of worries you have is how is the team going to react? That was something I was trying to nip in the bud. I wanted to make sure everybody was on the same wavelength, everybody was on the same page. That's what leaders do, that's what quarterbacks do. - Donovan McNabb
