  2. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

    Experiment using two tuning forks oscillating at the same frequency.One of the forks is being hit with a rubberized mallet. Although the first tuning fork hasn't been hit, the other fork is visibly excited due to the oscillation caused by the periodic change in the pressure and density of the air by hitting the other fork, creating an acoustic resonance between the forks.

  3. Spatial frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_frequency

    Each of the spin-echo signal is a sinc function of time, which can be described by = ⁡ Where = + ¯ Here ¯ is the gyromagnetic ratio constant, and is the basic resonance frequency of the spin. Due to the presence of the gradient G , the spatial information r is encoded onto the frequency ω {\displaystyle \omega } .

  4. Dynamic range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range

    Audio engineers use dynamic range to describe the ratio of the amplitude of the loudest possible undistorted signal to the noise floor, say of a microphone or loudspeaker. [18] Dynamic range is therefore the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the case where the signal is the loudest possible for the system. For example, if the ceiling of a device ...

  5. Pulse-repetition frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-repetition_frequency

    Electromagnetic (e.g. radio or light) waves are conceptually pure single frequency phenomena while pulses may be mathematically thought of as composed of a number of pure frequencies that sum and nullify in interactions that create a pulse train of the specific amplitudes, PRRs, base frequencies, phase characteristics, et cetera (See Fourier Analysis).

  6. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    Resonance in particle physics appears in similar circumstances to classical physics at the level of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Resonances can also be thought of as unstable particles, with the formula in the Universal resonance curve section of this article applying if Γ is the particle's decay rate and Ω is the particle's ...

  7. Time of flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_flight

    Basic time-of-flight principles applied to laser range-finding. Time of flight (ToF) is the measurement of the time taken by an object, particle or wave (be it acoustic, electromagnetic, etc.) to travel a distance through a medium. This information can then be used to measure velocity or path length, or as a way to learn about the particle or ...

  8. Room acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_acoustics

    It changes the disturbing echo of the sound into a mild reverb which decays over time. Diffraction is the change of a sound wave's propagation to avoid obstacles. According to Huygens ’ principle , when a sound wave is partially blocked by an obstacle, the remaining part that gets through acts as a source of secondary waves. [ 17 ]

  9. Relaxation (NMR) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(NMR)

    Spin echo pulse sequence and magnetization decay animation. T 2 values are generally much less dependent on field strength, B, than T 1 values. Hahn echo decay experiment can be used to measure the T 2 time, as shown in the animation below. The size of the echo is recorded for different spacings of the two applied pulses.
