atmospheric window
A range of electromagnetic wavelengths to which Earth's atmosphere is largely or partially transparent.

atmospheric windows: Wavelength regions in which Earth's atmosphere is transparent - at visual, infrared, and radio wavelengths.

Atmospheric windows (transparency/opacity)
Wavelength (lambda), frequency (f), c = f × lambda
Photoelectric effect
Photons (particle-like)
Photons carry energy : E = hf = hc/ lambda
h=Planck's constant = 6.6× 10-34 Joules sec.
