Dans la représentation de Poincaré, le dispositif quart d'onde a simplement effectué une rotation de 90 degrés du méridien sur l'équateur autour de l'axe de ses lignes neutres qui sont suivant un axe équatorial orthogonal à l'axe formé des directions parallèles et perpendiculaires au plan de l'interféromètre. Ce déphasage, devenu orientation de polarisation, dépend directement de la différence de chemin optique entre les deux bras de l'interféromètre : une rotation de 180° de la polarisation correspond à un déplacement d'une demi-longueur d'onde lumineuse de l'objet. 4, record 4, French, - longueur%20d%27onde%20de%20la%20lumi%C3%A8re

La fluorescence est la propriété que possèdent certaines molécules d'absorber la lumière à certaines longueurs d'ondes (c'est-à-dire correspondant à un certaine couleur) et de réemettre une lumière à une autre longueur d'onde. [...] Selon la relation de base : W = hn (où h = constante de Planck; n = fréquence de la lumière) comme n=C/1 (où C = vitesse de la lumière; 1 = longueur d'onde), on voit que la lumière absorbée pour porter la molécule au niveau excité a une longueur d'onde 11, différente de la lumière émise au retour à l'état de repos final de longueur d'onde 13 = 12-10. La «couleur» de la lumière est donc différente. La gamme des longueurs d'ondes absorbées définit le spectre d'absorption (appelé aussi «spectre d'excitation») du fluorochrome, celle des longueurs d'ondes émises le spectre d'émission. 6, record 4, French, - longueur%20d%27onde%20de%20la%20lumi%C3%A8re

Winds blowing southward along the west coast of the United States--because of friction and the effects of Earth's rotation--cause the surface layer of the ocean to move away from the coast. As the surface water moves offshore, cold, nutrient-rich water upwells from below to replace it. This upwelling fuels the growth of marine phytoplankton which, along with larger seaweeds, in turn nourish the incredible diversity of creatures found along the northern and central California coast. Sensors such as SeaWiFS can "see" the effects of this upwelling-related productivity because the chlorophyll-bearing phytoplankton reflect predominantly green light back into space as opposed to the water itself which reflects predominantly blue wavelengths back to space. 4, record 7, English, - sea%2Dviewing%20wide%20field%2Dof%2Dview%20sensor
