No worries. I did learn a lot from your comment by the way as I'm by no means a physics person... I just work with light as part of my job and the different behaviour from one colour/wavelength has practical (and safety) implications that I have to account for.

Thanksnfor the clarification, I wouldn't have fixed that otherwise. It's 5 am where I am and I haven't slept so I'm not surprised I made that sort of mistake.

What do you do for work?
