  2. Sound energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_energy

    In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Energy operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_operator

    Re-arranging the equation leads to =, where the energy factor E is a scalar value, the energy the particle has and the value that is measured. The partial derivative is a linear operator so this expression is the operator for energy: E ^ = i ℏ ∂ ∂ t . {\displaystyle {\hat {E}}=i\hbar {\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}.}

  7. Energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

    The word energy derives from the Ancient Greek: ἐνέργεια, romanized: energeia, lit. 'activity, operation', [4] which possibly appears for the first time in the work of Aristotle in the 4th century BC. In contrast to the modern definition, energeia was a qualitative philosophical concept, broad enough to include ideas such as happiness ...

  8. Matter wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave

    The more general description of matter waves corresponding to a single particle type (e.g. a single electron or neutron only) would have a form similar to = (,) ⁡ (() /) where now there is an additional spatial term (,) in the front, and the energy has been written more generally as a function of the wave vector. The various terms given ...

  9. Wave power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_power

    A wave farm (wave power farm or wave energy park) is a group of colocated wave energy devices. The devices interact hydrodynamically and electrically, according to the number of machines, spacing and layout, wave climate, coastal and benthic geometry, and control strategies.
