  2. The Third Wave (experiment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave_(experiment)

    "The Pride of Lakewood", a 2010 episode of children's animated series Arthur, was loosely based on the Third Wave experiment. In it, students who form a community pride group become fascistic. In 2010, Jones staged a musical called The Wave, written with some of the students in the class. [12]

  3. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    [3] [4] [5] Thomas Young's experiment with light was part of classical physics long before the development of quantum mechanics and the concept of wave–particle duality. He believed it demonstrated that the Christiaan Huygens' wave theory of light was correct, and his experiment is sometimes referred to as Young's experiment [6] or Young's ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_from_slits

    The mathematical representation of a radial wave is given by = ⁡ (+) / where =, is the wavelength, is frequency of the wave and is the phase of the wave at the slits at time t = 0. The wave at a screen some distance away from the plane of the slits is given by the sum of the waves emanating from each of the slits.

  5. Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment - Wikipedia

    In one detector the wave functions will be in phase with each other, and the result will be that the photon has 100% probability of showing up in that detector. In the other detector the wave functions will be 180° out of phase, will cancel each other exactly, and there will be a 0% probability of their related photons showing up in that detector.

  6. Wave–particle duality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave–particle_duality

    The electron double slit experiment is a textbook demonstration of wave-particle duality. [2] A modern version of the experiment is shown schematically in the figure below. Left half: schematic setup for electron double-slit experiment with masking; inset micrographs of slits and mask; Right half: results for slit 1, slit 2 and both slits open ...

  7. Phase velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity

    Propagation of a wave packet demonstrating a phase velocity greater than the group velocity. This shows a wave with the group velocity and phase velocity going in different directions. The group velocity is positive, while the phase velocity is negative. [1] The phase velocity of a wave is the rate at which the wave propagates in any medium.

    Ron Jones (born 1941) is an American writer and formerly a teacher in Palo Alto, California.He is best known for his classroom exercise called "The Third Wave" and the book he wrote about the event, which inspired the made-for-TV movie The Wave and other works, including a theatrical film in 2008.

  9. Dispersion (water waves) - Wikipedia

    For the shown case, a bichromatic group of gravity waves on the surface of deep water, the group velocity is half the phase velocity. In this example, there are ⁠5 + 3 / 4 ⁠ waves between two wave group nodes in space, while there are ⁠11 + 1 / 2 ⁠ waves between two wave group nodes in time.
