resultant wave
1Wave propagation — is any of the ways in which waves travel through a waveguide.With respect to the direction of the oscillation relative to the propagation direction, we can distinguish between longitudinal wave and transverse waves.For electromagnetic waves,… …
2wave packet — noun Date: 1928 a pulse of radiant energy that is the resultant of a number of wave trains of differing wavelengths …
3wave packet — noun : a pulse (as an electromagnetic pulse) that is the resultant of a number of wave trains of differing wavelengths and speed and has a definite group velocity …
4Standing wave — A standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave that remains in a constant position. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of… …
5Interference (wave propagation) — Two point interference in a ripple tank. In physics, interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superpose each other to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are… …
6Tidal wave — Tide Tide, n. [AS. t[=i]d time; akin to OS. & OFries. t[=i]d, D. tijd, G. zeit, OHG. z[=i]t, Icel. t[=i]?, Sw. & Dan. tid, and probably to Skr. aditi unlimited, endless, where a is a negative prefix. [root]58. Cf. {Tidings}, {Tidy}, {Till}, prep …
7Tide wave — Tide Tide, n. [AS. t[=i]d time; akin to OS. & OFries. t[=i]d, D. tijd, G. zeit, OHG. z[=i]t, Icel. t[=i]?, Sw. & Dan. tid, and probably to Skr. aditi unlimited, endless, where a is a negative prefix. [root]58. Cf. {Tidings}, {Tidy}, {Till}, prep …
8Medium wave — Main article: Medium frequency Medium wave (MW) is the part of the medium frequency (MF) radio band used mainly for AM broadcasting. For Europe the MW band ranges from 526.5 kHz to 1606.5 kHz[1] and in North America an extended MW… …
9Acoustic wave equation — In physics, the acoustic wave equation governs the propagation of acoustic waves through a material medium. The form of the equation is a second order partial differential equation. The equation describes the evolution of acoustic pressure p or… …
10standing wave — Physics. a wave in a medium in which each point on the axis of the wave has an associated constant amplitude ranging from zero at the nodes to a maximum at the antinodes. Also called stationary wave. [1905 10] * * * ▪ physics also called… …
