121Transfer function — A transfer function (also known as the system function[1] or network function) is a mathematical representation, in terms of spatial or temporal frequency, of the relation between the input and output of a linear time invariant system. With… …
122Plane wave — [ real part of a plane wave travelling up.] In the physics of wave propagation (especially electromagnetic waves), a plane wave (also spelled planewave) is a constant frequency wave whose wavefronts (surfaces of constant phase) are infinite… …
123Chebyshev filter — Linear analog electronic filters Network synthesis filters Butterworth filter Chebyshev filter Elliptic (Cauer) filter Bessel filter Gaussian filter Optimum L (Legendre) filter Linkwitz Riley filter …
124Fold (geology) — For other uses, see Fold (disambiguation). Very tight folds. Formation near Moruya, New South Wales, Australia …
125Ultrashort pulse — In optics, an ultrashort pulse of light is an electromagnetic pulse whose time duration is on the order of the femtosecond (10 − 15 second). Such pulses have a broadband optical spectrum, and can be created by mode locked oscillators. They are… …
126Nonlinear Schrödinger equation — This page is about the equation iψt = −½ψxx + κ|ψ|2ψ. For the equation iψt = −½ψxx + V(x)ψ + κ|ψ|2ψ, used in Bose–Einstein condensate theory, see Gross–Pitaevskii equation. In theoretical physics, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) is a… …
127Structure formation — refers to a fundamental problem in physical cosmology. The universe, as is now known from observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation, began in a hot, dense, nearly uniform state approximately 13.7 Gyr ago. [cite journal |author=D.… …
128Meander — For other uses, see Meander (disambiguation). A hypothetical stream bed following a tilted valley. The maximum gradient is along the down valley axis represented by a hypothetical straight channel. Meanders develop, which lengthen the course of… …
