  2. Wien's displacement law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_displacement_law

    Formally, the wavelength version of Wien's displacement law states that the spectral radiance of black-body radiation per unit wavelength, peaks at the wavelength given by: = where T is the absolute temperature and b is a constant of proportionality called Wien's displacement constant, equal to 2.897 771 955... × 10 −3 m⋅K, [1] [2] or b ...

  3. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_relation

    Frequency dispersion of surface gravity waves on deep water. The red square moves with the phase velocity, and the green dots propagate with the group velocity. In this deep-water case, the phase velocity is twice the group velocity. The red square traverses the figure in the time it takes the green dot to traverse half.

  4. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    The wavelength in the conductor is much shorter than the wavelength in vacuum, or equivalently, the phase velocity in a conductor is very much slower than the speed of light in vacuum. For example, a 1 MHz radio wave has a wavelength in vacuum λ o of about 300 m, whereas in copper, the wavelength is reduced to only about 0.5 mm with a phase ...

  5. Wavenumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber

    where ν is the frequency of the wave, λ is the wavelength, ω = 2πν is the angular frequency of the wave, and v p is the phase velocity of the wave. The dependence of the wavenumber on the frequency (or more commonly the frequency on the wavenumber) is known as a dispersion relation.

  6. Propagation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_constant

    The skin effect causes R along the conductor to be approximately dependent on frequency according to Losses in the dielectric depend on the loss tangent (tan δ) of the material divided by the wavelength of the signal. Thus they are directly proportional to the frequency.

  7. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    In frequency (and thus energy), UV rays sit between the violet end of the visible spectrum and the X-ray range. The UV wavelength spectrum ranges from 399 nm to 10 nm and is divided into 3 sections: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UV is the lowest energy range energetic enough to ionize atoms, separating electrons from them, and thus causing chemical reactions.

  8. Free-space path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss

    [2] It does not include any power loss in the antennas themselves due to imperfections such as resistance. Free-space loss increases with the square of distance between the antennas because the radio waves spread out by the inverse square law and decreases with the square of the wavelength of the radio waves.

  9. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    The operator "delta" (Δ) is used to represent a difference in a quantity, so we can write ΔV = V 1 − V 2 and ΔI = I 1 − I 2. Summarizing, for any truly ohmic device having resistance R, V/I = ΔV/ΔI = R for any applied voltage or current or for the difference between any set of applied voltages or currents.
