wave phase
41phase — phaseless, adj. phasic, phaseal, adj. /fayz/, n., v., phased, phasing. n. 1. any of the major appearances or aspects in which a thing of varying modes or conditions manifests itself to the eye or mind. 2. a stage in a process of change or… …

43Phase problem — The phase problem is the name given to the problem of loss of information (the phase) from a physical measurement. The name itself comes from the field of x ray crystallography, where the phase problem has to be solved for the determination of a… …
44wave motion — ▪ physics propagation of disturbances that is, deviations from a state of rest or equilibrium from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves on water, but both sound and light travel as wavelike… …

46Wave 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… …
47Wave packet — In physics, a wave packet is an envelope or packet containing an arbitrary number of wave forms. In quantum mechanics the wave packet is ascribed a special significance: it is interpreted to be a probability wave describing the probability that a …
48Wave height — In fluid dynamics, the wave height of a surface wave denotes the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighbouring trough.Kinsman (1984) p. 38.] Wave height is a term used by mariners, as well as in coastal, ocean engineering and… …
49Phase detector — A phase detector is a frequency mixer or analog multiplier circuit that generates a voltage signal which represents the difference in phase between two signal inputs. It is an essential element of the phase locked loop (PLL).Detecting phase… …
50Wave cloud — This wave cloud pattern formed over the Île Amsterdam, in the lower left corner at the tip of the triangular formation, in the far southern Indian Ocean. A wave cloud is a cloud form created by atmospheric internal waves …
