  2. Transverse wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_wave

    Transverse waves are contrasted with longitudinal waves, where the oscillations occur in the direction of the wave. The standard example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave or "pressure wave" in gases, liquids, or solids, whose oscillations cause compression and expansion of the material through which the wave is propagating. Pressure waves ...

    1.5 kW is the maximum legal power output of a US ham radio station. [12] 60 dBm: 1 kW = 1,000 W: Typical combined radiated RF power of microwave oven elements 55 dBm ~300 W: Typical single-channel RF output power of a K u band geostationary satellite: 50 dBm: 100 W: Typical total thermal radiation emitted by a human body, peak at 31.5 THz (9.5 μm)

    AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an open, royalty-free video coding format initially designed for video transmissions over the Internet. It was developed as a successor to VP9 by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), [2] a consortium founded in 2015 that includes semiconductor firms, video on demand providers, video content producers, software development companies and web browser vendors.

  5. Renewable energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy

    From 2011 to 2021, renewable energy grew from 20% to 28% of global electricity supply. Power from the sun and wind accounted for most of this increase, growing from a combined 2% to 10%. Use of fossil energy shrank from 68% to 62%. [7] In 2022, renewables accounted for 30% of global electricity generation and are projected to reach over 42% by ...

  7. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    Most video coding standards, such as the H.26x and MPEG formats, typically use motion-compensated DCT video coding (block motion compensation). [69] [70] Most video codecs are used alongside audio compression techniques to store the separate but complementary data streams as one combined package using so-called container formats. [71]

  8. 16:9 aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16:9_aspect_ratio

    Many digital video cameras have the capability to record in 16:9, and this is the only widescreen aspect ratio natively supported by Blu-ray Disc. It is also the native aspect ratio of the Blu-ray Disc, but Blu-ray Disc producers can also choose to show even a wider ratio such as 2.40:1 within the 16:9 frame adding Letterbox black bars within ...

  9. List of gravitational wave observations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gravitational_wave...

    Gravitational wave events are named starting with the prefix GW, while observations that trigger an event alert but have not (yet) been confirmed are named starting with the prefix S. [8] Six digits then indicate the date of the event, with the two first digits representing the year, the two middle digits the month and two final digits the day ...
