  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the change in momentum of an object. If the initial momentum of an object is p 1 , and a subsequent momentum is p 2 , the object has received an impulse J :

  3. Impulse noise (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_noise_(acoustics)

    Impulse noise is a category of noise that includes unwanted, almost instantaneous (thus impulse-like) sharp sounds (like clicks and pops)—typically caused by electromagnetic interference, scratches on disks, gunfire, explosions, pickleball play, and synchronization issues in digital audio.

  4. Impulse response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_response

    The impulse response from a simple audio system. Showing, from top to bottom, the original impulse, the response after high frequency boosting, and the response after low frequency boosting. In signal processing and control theory , the impulse response , or impulse response function ( IRF ), of a dynamic system is its output when presented ...

    A branch of physics that studies atoms as isolated systems of electrons and an atomic nucleus. Compare nuclear physics. atomic structure atomic weight (A) The sum total of protons (or electrons) and neutrons within an atom. audio frequency A periodic vibration whose frequency is in the band audible to the average human, the human hearing range.

  8. Acoustic wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave_equation

    In physics, the acoustic wave equation is a second-order partial differential equation that governs the propagation of acoustic waves through a material medium resp. a standing wavefield. The equation describes the evolution of acoustic pressure p or particle velocity u as a function of position x and time t. A simplified (scalar) form of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burst_noise

    Graph of burst noise. Burst noise is a type of electronic noise that occurs in semiconductors and ultra-thin gate oxide films. [1] It is also called random telegraph noise (RTN), popcorn noise, impulse noise, bi-stable noise, or random telegraph signal (RTS) noise.
