wave notation
1Wave function — Not to be confused with the related concept of the Wave equation Some trajectories of a harmonic oscillator (a ball attached to a spring) in classical mechanics (A B) and quantum mechanics (C H). In quantum mechanics (C H), the ball has a wave… …
2Wave function collapse — Quantum mechanics Uncertainty principle …
3Notation for differentiation — In differential calculus, there is no single uniform notation for differentiation. Instead, several different notations for the derivative of a function or variable have been proposed by different mathematicians. The usefulness of each notation… …
4Wave–particle duality — Quantum mechanics Uncertainty principle …
5Bra-ket notation — Quantum mechanics Uncertainty principle …
6Sinusoidal plane-wave solutions of the electromagnetic wave equation — Sinusoidal plane wave solutions are particular solutions to the electromagnetic wave equation.The general solution of the electromagnetic wave equation in homogeneous, linear, time independent media can be written as a linear superposition of… …
7Significant wave height — In physical oceanography, significant wave height, also known as SWH, or H s , is the average wave height (trough to crest) of the one third largest waves. A well developed significant wave is approximately equal to H m0 , defined as four times… …
8Interference (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… …
9Cnoidal wave — US Army bombers flying over near periodic swell in shallow water, close to the Panama coast (1933). The sharp crests and very flat troughs are characteristic for cnoidal waves. In fluid dynamics, a cnoidal wave is a nonlinear and exact periodic… …
10Pp-wave spacetime — In general relativity, the pp wave spacetimes, or pp waves for short, are an important family of exact solutions of Einstein s field equation. These solutions model radiation moving at the speed of light. This radiation may consist of:*… …
