  2. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a Faraday cage. The amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of holes in a shield to an incident electromagnetic field.

  3. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physics_mnemonics

    ROYGBIV (in reverse VIBGYOR) is commonly used to remember the order of colors in the visible light spectrum, as seen in a rainbow. Richard of York gave battle in vain" (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). Additionally, the fictitious name Roy G. Biv can be used as well. (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).

  5. Wireless keyboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_keyboard

    Wireless keyboards based on infrared technology use light waves to transmit signals to other infrared-enabled devices. In case of radio frequency technology, a wireless keyboard communicates using signals which range from 27 MHz to up to 2.4 GHz.

  6. Electromagnetic interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference

    Demodulation of a high-frequency carrier wave such as an FM radio transmission. Radio frequency interference (RFI), from typically 20 kHz to an upper limit which constantly increases as technology pushes it higher. Sources include: Wireless and radio frequency transmissions; Television and radio receivers

  7. Active noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

    A noise-cancellation speaker emits a sound wave with the same amplitude but with an inverted phase (also known as antiphase) relative to the original sound. The waves combine to form a new wave, in a process called interference, and effectively cancel each other out – an effect which is called destructive interference.

  8. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    An overview of absorption of electromagnetic radiation.This example shows the general principle using visible light as a specific example. A white light source—emitting light of multiple wavelengths—is focused on a sample (the pairs of complementary colors are indicated by the yellow dotted lines).

  9. Acousto-optic modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acousto-optic_modulator

    Λ is the wavelength of the sound wave, λ is that of the light wave, and n is the refractive index of the crystal in the AOD (which should be omitted. This is a mistake). The +1 order has a positive frequency shift compared to the incident light; The 0th order has the same frequency as the incident light.
