First things first: among those lucky enough to have made time in their cramped schedules for the fifth "Wavelengths" experimental program, consensus seemed to form almost immediately.

-
Wavelengths of the actualcolor can affect how it appeals to people as well.
-
Wavelengths of light cannot be split; Newton demonstrated that by putting white light into a prism and splitting it into a rainbow, and then discovering that none of the colors of the rainbow could be further split.

-
Radio: Wavelengths longer than infrared and very low energy.
-
Ultraviolet: Wavelengths shorter than the violet end of visible light.
-
Wavelengths between 280 and 315 nm comprise the UV-B portion of the spectrum (while some communities use 320 nm to mark the division between UV-B and UV-A radiation, it is the convention in this report to use 315 nm).
Introduction to Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation in the Arctic 2009
-
Wavelengths between 315 and 400 nm are referred to as UV-A radiation.

-
Infrared: Wavelengths longer than the red end of visible light and shorter than microwaves roughly between 1 and 100 microns.
-
Wavelengths of light pass through matter differently depending on the material’s composition.
-
Wavelengths of sound can range between millimeters and meters (comparable to a farmhouse) while wavelengths of visible light are on the order of 500 nanometers (0.0000005 meters, or 0.5 micrometers).
