4Angular spectrum method — The angular spectrum method is a technique for modeling the propagation of a wave field. This technique involves expanding a complex wave field into a summation of infinite number of plane waves. Its mathematical origins lie in the field of… …
5Angular momentum operator — In quantum mechanics, the angular momentum operator is an operator analogous to classical angular momentum. The angular momentum operator plays a central role in the theory of atomic physics and other quantum problems involving rotational… …
6amplitude — i. The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement, or the maximum value, it attains from its mean position during a cycle. It is both positive and negative. With sound waves, the greater the amplitude, the louder is the sound. ii. Angular… …
