Assume you have a somewhat idealized J-band system with spectral response of 0.8 from 1.15 through 1.35 mm and zero outside this range.
What is the effective (mean) wavelength?
What is the effective (mean) wavelength is given by
lamdamean =1+(5/6)(Deltalamda/lamda2) +(deltalamda/lamda)4
=1+(0.833)(0.35/1.35mm2)+(0.35/1.35)4
= 1+0.833(2.592*10-4)+(4.426*10-3)
= 5.64*10-3m
=5.64mm
