...specific function of the coronagraph is to determine the wavelength distribution of the corona's ultraviolet rays in order to derive temperatures within the corona...
...after the Marconis and the Bell people and the Hertzes and the Maxwells raised their dust, and radiowaves with ultrahigh, superhigh or extremely high frequencies--those ranging in wavelength from 100 centimeters to a millimeter--became known as microwaves. These "microwaves" are very intense concentrations, "short-waves" of electromagnetic radiation focused into an intense beam. They travel through matter, can be reflected by electrical conductors, and can be directed accurately. Thus, microwaves revolutionized communication. They are responsible for television communications, radio (especially FM) broadcasts, CB radio, satellite communication, radar, sonar, and electric garage-door openers...

Horowitz replaced the microphones, carefully closed the trunk, and walked into the offices of the little firm, a manufacturer of pinholes no wider than a wavelength of light, and found that now he had to wait. The owner of the firm was on the telephone, but Horowitz didn't mind. He glanced through some brochures on laser equipment, and then stared into the rain, wondering how long it would take his dog, a Siberian husky, to dry when he returned home that evening...
