Wavelength

The distance between identical points in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space or along a wire.

Saturation

A state or process in which a quantity has reached its maximum capacity or a point beyond which no additional absorption or reaction can occur.

Sensory Adaptation

A process whereby sensory receptors grow less responsive to stimuli that do not vary with time.
