In the infrared wavelength regime The “water hole” in SETI would fall in which wavelength or color range? A. Visible light B. Between about 1 and 2m wavelength C. Between 18 and 21cm wavelength D. In the infrared wavelength regime A. Visible light B. Between about 1 and 2m wavelength C. Between 18 and 21cm wavelength D. In the infrared wavelength regime

Explanation / Answer

C. Between 18 and 21cm wavelength.

Explanation : A quiet band of the electromagnetic spectrum between 1420-1666 MHz corresponding to wavelengths of 21 and 18cm respectively is known as waterhole.
