The colorless stones produced strong fluorescence and phosphorescence under short-wavelength ultraviolet light, but were inert under long-wave UV.

The third type responds the most to short-wavelength light, of a bluish colour, and is designated S for short.

An excimer lamp can be used as a powerful source of short-wavelength ultraviolet light, useful in chemical processes such as surface cleaning of semiconductor wafers.

Some cones react to short-wavelength light, others react to medium wavelengths, and others react to higher wavelengths.

The small, head-mounted device measures an individual's daily rest and activity patterns, as well as exposure to short-wavelength light that stimulates the circadian system.

Such glass polarizers perform best for short-wavelength infrared light, and are widely used in optical fiber communications.

Elimination of short-wavelength light would have been noticed, too, if the light had passed thru that much gas.

When the plants were exposed to short-wavelength light, (less than 660 nm), the efficiency also decreased.

The sunlit sky is blue because air scatters short-wavelength light more than longer wavelengths.

More specific, defensive properties of coccoliths may include protection from osmotic changes, chemical or mechanical shock, and short-wavelength light.
