  2. Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_wave

    "Longitudinal waves" and "transverse waves" have been abbreviated by some authors as "L-waves" and "T-waves", respectively, for their own convenience. [1] While these two abbreviations have specific meanings in seismology (L-wave for Love wave [2] or long wave [3]) and electrocardiography (see T wave), some authors chose to use "ℓ-waves" (lowercase 'L') and "t-waves" instead, although they ...

  3. Melde's experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melde's_experiment

    In the experiment, mechanical waves traveled in opposite directions form immobile points, called nodes. These waves were called standing waves by Melde since the position of the nodes and loops (points where the cord vibrated) stayed static. Standing waves were first discovered by Franz Melde, who coined the term "standing wave" around 1860.

    It was originally published by Sakon Kaidō as a free-to-read web novel on Shōsetsuka ni Narō in 2015 and Hobby Japan published the first volume in print with illustrations by Taiki in November 2016. As of October 1, 2024, twenty-two volumes [9] and one extra [10] have been published. The light novel is licensed by J-Novel Club. [11]

  6. Mode conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_conversion

    Mode conversion occurs when a wave encounters an interface between materials of different impedances and the incident angle is not normal to the interface. [1] Thus, for example, if a longitudinal wave from a fluid (e.g., water or air) strikes a solid (e.g., steel plate), it is usually refracted and reflected as a function of the angle of incidence, but if some of the energy causes particle ...

  7. Longitudinal mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_mode

    The first six longitudinal modes of a plane-parallel cavity. A longitudinal mode of a resonant cavity is a particular standing wave pattern formed by waves confined in the cavity. The longitudinal modes correspond to the wavelengths of the wave which are reinforced by constructive interference after many reflections from the cavity's reflecting ...

  8. 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 ...
