minimum wavelength of electromagnetic sensitivity / maximum wavelength of electromagnetic sensitivity edit
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science
| Description | maximum electromagnetic wavelength that the item can detect |
|---|---|
| Represents | wavelength (Q41364) |
| Data type | Number (not available yet) |
| Template parameter | "wavelength" in en:template:infobox telescope "telescope_wavelength" in en:template:infobox spaceflight |
| Domain | instances of organism (Q7239) or measuring instrument (Q2041172) |
| Allowed units | meters, kilo-, centi-, milli-, micro-, nano-, pico-, femto-, attometers |
| Example | Arecibo Radio Telescope (Q44547)maximum wavelength of electromagnetic sensitivity1 m human eye (Q430024)maximum wavelength of electromagnetic sensitivity700 nm Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (Q41519)maximum wavelength of electromagnetic sensitivity40 pm |
| Planned use | Add statements about the electromagnetic sensitivity ranges of organisms and measuring instruments |
| See also | minimum frequency of audible sound (P3387) |

- Motivation
By analogy with minimum frequency of audible sound (P3387) / maximum frequency of audible sound (P3465), but for sensitivity to the electromagnetic spectrum, which is more often expressed in terms of wavelength than frequency.

Support looks reasonable to me (2 properties). ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:02, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Swpb: Please separate the two proposed properties into two property proposal templates. ChristianKl (talk) 08:50, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Done ChristianKl (talk) 09:47, 3 March 2017 (UTC) - @ArthurPSmith, Pigsonthewing, Swpb, ChristianKl: I just discovered this after searching for a different way of solving the issue! (See [1].) I've now implemented this in en:Template:Infobox telescope (please ping me next time ;-) ). Can we modify this to remove "electromagnetic", please? Then it would be more useful for entries like GEO600 (Q697906) that are sensitive to a given range of wavelengths, but it's gravitational radiation rather than electromagnetic. Thanks.
