  2. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a Faraday cage. The amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of holes in a shield to an incident electromagnetic field.

  3. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    They provide less attenuation of outgoing transmissions than incoming: they can block electromagnetic pulse (EMP) waves from natural phenomena very effectively, but especially in upper frequencies, a tracking device may be able to penetrate from within the cage (e.g., some cell phones operate at various radio frequencies so while one frequency ...

  4. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    In physics, the D-region of Earth's ionosphere is known to significantly absorb radio signals that fall within the high-frequency electromagnetic spectrum. In nuclear physics, absorption of nuclear radiations can be used for measuring the fluid levels, densitometry or thickness measurements. [2]

  5. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are ...

  6. Bessel beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel_beam

    A Bessel beam is a wave whose amplitude is described by a Bessel function of the first kind. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Electromagnetic , acoustic , gravitational , and matter waves can all be in the form of Bessel beams.

  7. Injection locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_locking

    Injection pulling and injection locking can be observed in numerous physical systems where pairs of oscillators are coupled together. Perhaps the first to document these effects was Christiaan Huygens, the inventor of the pendulum clock, who was surprised to note that two pendulum clocks which normally would keep slightly different time nonetheless became perfectly synchronized when hung from ...

  8. Quantum biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_biology

    Quantum biology is the study of applications of quantum mechanics and theoretical chemistry to aspects of biology that cannot be accurately described by the classical laws of physics. [1] An understanding of fundamental quantum interactions is important because they determine the properties of the next level of organization in biological systems.

  9. Self-oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-oscillation

    Self-oscillations are important in physics, engineering, biology, and economics. ... so the system automatically created radio waves of the desired frequency. This ...
