{"cc_re__cc_re__cc_by_sa_3_0": ["sition and time.</p><p>Wavelength is a measure of the distance between repetitions of a shape feature such as peaks, valleys, or zero-crossings, not a measure of how far any given particle moves. For example, in waves over deep water a particle in the water moves in a circle of the same diameter as the wave height, unrelated to wavelength.</p></p>\n\t</article>\t\n\t\n\t<div class=\"wiki-credit\">\n\t\tThis text uses material from <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/Wavelength\">Wikipedia</a>,\n\t\tlicensed under <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/\">CC BY-SA</a>\n\t</div>\n\n    </section>\n    \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t    <p class=\"rss-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"rss-icon\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" src=\"http://cdn.phys.org/tmpl/v4/img/icons/icon-rss.png\" alt=\"rss\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe to <a href=\"http://phys.org/rss-feed/tags/wavelength+of+light/\">rss feed</a>\n\t\t\t\t    </p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t    \n\t<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\n        google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-0536483524803400\";\n        /* Phys.org - Tags page 2 */\n        google_ad_slot = \"1038251535\";\n        google_ad_w"], "copyright__copyright__copyright": ["r sun emits a range of light waves far more expansive than what our eyes alone can see: from visible light to extreme ultraviolet to soft and hard X-rays.
