111Optical phase space — Optical phase diagram of a coherent state s distribution across phase space. In quantum optics, an optical phase space is a phase space in which all quantum states of an optical system are described. Each point in the optical phase space… …
112tidal wave — Synonyms and related words: amplitude, antinode, apoplexy, billow, bore, breakers, breakup, cataclysm, chop, choppiness, chopping sea, climax, comb, comber, convulsion, count, crest, de Broglie wave, diastrophism, diffraction, dirty water,… …
113Magnetosonic wave — A magnetosonic wave (also magnetoacoustic wave) is a longitudinal wave[1] of ions (and electrons) in a magnetized plasma propagating perpendicular to the stationary magnetic field. The wave is dispersionless with a phase velocity ω/k given by ,… …
114Follicular phase — The follicular phase (or proliferative phase) is the phase of the estrous cycle, (or, in humans and great apes, the menstrual cycle) during which follicles in the ovary mature. It ends with ovulation. The main hormone controlling this stage is… …
115out of phase — Synonyms and related words: amplitude, antinode, crest, de Broglie wave, diffraction, electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic wave, frequency, frequency band, frequency spectrum, guided wave, ill considered, ill seasoned, ill timed, improper,… …
116sound wave — Synonyms and related words: amplitude, antinode, auditory effect, auditory phenomenon, crest, de Broglie wave, diffraction, electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic wave, frequency, frequency band, frequency spectrum, guided wave, in phase,… …
117Internal wave — Internal waves are gravity waves that oscillate within, rather than on the surface of, a fluid medium. They arise from perturbations to hydrostatic equilibrium, where balance is maintained between the force of gravity and the buoyant restoring… …
118Quasi-phase-matching — is a technique in nonlinear optics which allows a positive net flow of energy from the pump frequency to the signal and idler frequencies by creating a periodic structure in the nonlinear medium. Momentum is conserved, as is necessary for phase… …
119Spin density wave — (SDW) and charge density wave (CDW) are names for two similar low energy ordered states of solids. Both these states occur at low temperature in anisotropic, low dimensional materials or in metals that have high densities of states at the Fermi… …
120Gravitational wave astronomy — is an emerging branch of observational astronomy which aims to use gravitational waves (minute distortions of spacetime predicted by Einstein s theory of general relativity) to collect observational data about objects such as neutron stars and… …
