That movement generates a second wave of light — one that radiates back up from the surface.

这种活动产生了第二次光波，这种光波从金属表面辐射出去。

This is a kind of light wave that mice and humans cannot normally see.

老鼠和人类通常看不见这种光波。

See, sound waves, like light waves, have peaks and valleys.

声波跟光波一样，有波峰和波谷。

By definition, color is the visible spectrum of light waves.

根据定义，颜色是光波的可见光谱。

And violet wavelengths are even more energetic than blue ones, making them likely to be absorbed by pigment.

并且，蓝紫色的光波甚至比蓝色光波更为高能，使它更容易被色素。

Just the strange and beautiful result of light waves interfering with each other.

只是光波相互干扰的奇异而美丽的结果。

They used it to beam the prisoners instantaneously up to Fort Rozz.

它的光波能把犯人们瞬间传送到罗兹堡。

Slowing a wave changes its direction, a process called refraction.

放慢光波改变了其方向，这个过程被称为折射。

The result is a matte final color generated by these leftover light waves.

结果是的光波产生了一个哑光的最终颜色。

The wave carries information from the object that your brain uses to create an image.

光波携带着物体的信息，让你的大脑能建构影像。

In humans, this lens is curved to process light waves traveling through air.

人类的晶状体是弧形的，可以处理穿过空气的光波。

These waves have been travelling towards us for over 13 billion years.

在到达我们之前，这些光波已经旅行了 130 亿年。

What happened? Where's the laser Granny?

怎么回事? - 动感光波奶奶呢?

It splits waves of light along two parallel arms and eventually rejoins them.

它把光波分成两条平行的臂，并最终重新连接起来。

Planck's equation stated that light waves carry energy in small packets called 'quanta'.

朗克方程指出，光波以被称为“量子”的小包携带能量。

Until it becomes so long that the human eye can't see it anymore.

直到光波变得足够长，使得人眼再也无法看见这些恒星。

Light waves longer than that are called microwaves, and those with the longest wavelengths of all are called radio waves.

比这再长一些的光波叫做微波，而波长最长的光波叫做无线电波。

Lighter surfaces, on the other hand, absorb fewer wavelengths and reflect the rest.

另一方面，亮面较少光波，并反射其余部分。

Microwave ovens cook food by bathing it in a kind of light called, shockingly, microwaves.

微波炉里的食物沐浴在一种光波里，叫做——很惊人——微波。

Besides being really " purrdy" to look at, there is some science behind these wondrous waves.

除了看起来很漂亮，这些奇妙的光波后面还有些学道理。
