  2. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    Mechanical and electromagnetic waves transfer energy, [1] momentum, and information, but they do not transfer particles in the medium. In mathematics and electronics waves are studied as signals. [2] On the other hand, some waves have envelopes which do not move at all such as standing waves (which are fundamental to music) and hydraulic jumps.

  3. Theory of tides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_tides

    High and low tide in the Bay of Fundy. The theory of tides is the application of continuum mechanics to interpret and predict the tidal deformations of planetary and satellite bodies and their atmospheres and oceans (especially Earth's oceans) under the gravitational loading of another astronomical body or bodies (especially the Moon and Sun).

  4. Planck constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant

    The Planck constant, or Planck's constant, denoted by , [1] is a fundamental physical constant [1] of foundational importance in quantum mechanics: a photon's energy is equal to its frequency multiplied by the Planck constant, and the wavelength of a matter wave equals the Planck constant divided by the associated particle momentum.

  5. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    In the differential form formulation on arbitrary space times, F = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ F αβ ‍ dx α ∧ dx β is the electromagnetic tensor considered as a 2-form, A = A α dx α is the potential 1-form, = is the current 3-form, d is the exterior derivative, and is the Hodge star on forms defined (up to its orientation, i.e. its sign) by the ...

    The English Wikipedia, with over 6.9 million articles, remains the largest of the editions, which together comprise more than 64 million articles and attract more than 1.5 billion unique device visits and 13 million edits per month (about 5 edits per second on average) as of April 2024.

  7. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    At the end of the 19th century, the foundational crisis in mathematics and the resulting systematization of the axiomatic method led to an explosion of new areas of mathematics. [12] [6] The 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification contains no less than sixty-three first-level areas. [13]

  8. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    Remark 1: The 2-points–2-tangents property of a parabola is an affine version of the 3-point degeneration of Pascal's theorem. Remark 2: The 2-points–2-tangents property should not be confused with the following property of a parabola, which also deals with 2 points and 2 tangents, but is not related to Pascal's theorem.

  9. Discrete Fourier transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform

    The solution is broken up into plane waves. The multidimensional DFT can be computed by the composition of a sequence of one-dimensional DFTs along each dimension. In the two-dimensional case x n 1 , n 2 {\displaystyle x_{n_{1},n_{2}}} the N 1 {\displaystyle N_{1}} independent DFTs of the rows (i.e., along n 2 {\displaystyle n_{2}} ) are ...
