I want to know the wavelength information for the NICFI basemaps.

The NICFI mosaics are a mix of RapidEye, Dove Classic, Dove R, and SuperDove, all of which have different band centers.  All of the scenes are harmonized and normalized to Landsat8 SR data.

 

Here is the LandSat 8 Band details:

 

Landsat 8 Operational Land Image (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS)
Band Wavelength Useful for mapping
Band 1 - coastal aerosol 0.43-0.45 Coastal and aerosol studies
Band 2 - blue 0.45-0.51 Bathymetric mapping, distinguishing soil from vegetation and deciduous from coniferous vegetation
Band 3 - green 0.53-0.59 Emphasizes peak vegetation, which is useful for assessing plant vigor
Band 4 - red 0.64-0.67 Discriminates vegetation slopes
Band 5 - Near Infrared (NIR) 0.85-0.88 Emphasizes biomass content and shorelines
Band 6 - Short-wave Infrared (SWIR) 1 1.57-1.65 Discriminates moisture content of soil and vegetation; penetrates thin clouds
Band 7 - Short-wave Infrared (SWIR) 2 2.11-2.29 Improved moisture content of soil and vegetation; penetrates thin clouds
Band 8 - Panchromatic 0.50-0.68 15 meter resolution, sharper image definition
Band 9 - Cirrus 1.36-1.38 Improved detection of cirrus cloud contamination
Band 10 - TIRS 1 10.60-11.19 100 meter resolution, thermal mapping and estimated soil moisture
Band 11 - TIRS 2 11.50-12.51 100 meter resolution, improved thermal mapping and estimated soil moisture
