  2. Transverse wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_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 are called "primary waves", or "P-waves" in geophysics. Water waves involve both longitudinal and transverse motions ...

  3. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    A monochromatic wave (a wave of a single frequency) consists of successive troughs and crests, and the distance between two adjacent crests or troughs is called the wavelength. Waves of the electromagnetic spectrum vary in size, from very long radio waves longer than a continent to very short gamma rays smaller than atom nuclei.

  4. Mega Man Star Force (TV series) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_Star_Force_(TV...

    In the manga, Geo's back-story remains the same. However, he is more ambitious about building up the strength to find his father. Geo goes after the "Star Force," a power being offered to the winner of the Wave Coliseum, a tournament pitting various radio wave humans against each other in battle.

  5. Megatsunami - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatsunami

    A megatsunami is a tsunami with an initial wave amplitude measured in many tens or hundreds of metres.The term "megatsunami" has been defined by media and has no precise definition, although it is commonly taken to refer to tsunamis over 100 metres (330 ft) high. [2]

  6. Electric field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    An electric field (sometimes called E-field [1]) is a physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles.In classical electromagnetism, the electric field of a single charge (or group of charges) describes their capacity to exert attractive or repulsive forces on another charged object.

  7. General relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity

    Slow motion computer simulation of the black hole binary system GW150914 as seen by a nearby observer, during 0.33 s of its final inspiral, merge, and ringdown.The star field behind the black holes is being heavily distorted and appears to rotate and move, due to extreme gravitational lensing, as spacetime itself is distorted and dragged around by the rotating black holes.

  8. Computer mouse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_mouse

    SpaceBall 4000 FLX has a maximum deflection of approximately 3 mm (0.12 in) at a maximum force of approximately 10N, that is, a stiffness of approximately 33 N/cm (19 lb f /in). SpaceMouse has a maximum deflection of 1.5 mm (0.059 in) at a maximum force of 4.4 N (0.99 lb f), that is, a stiffness of approximately 30 N/cm (17 lb f /in). Taking ...

  9. The Mosquito - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mosquito

    A report for the Council of Europe called for a ban in 2010, suggesting use of the Mosquito may breach human rights law. [27] In January 2011, the device was banned on all Council and Partnership buildings in Sheffield following a successful campaign led by the then Member of UK Youth Parliament for Sheffield, Harrison Carter.
