  2. Coupling (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In classical mechanics, coupling is a connection between two oscillating systems, such as pendulums connected by a spring. The connection affects the oscillatory pattern of both objects. In particle physics, two particles are coupled if they are connected by one of the four fundamental forces.

  3. Ambiguity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguity_function

    In pulsed radar and sonar signal processing, an ambiguity function is a two-dimensional function of propagation delay and Doppler frequency, (,).It represents the distortion of a returned pulse due to the receiver matched filter [1] (commonly, but not exclusively, used in pulse compression radar) of the return from a moving target.

  4. Zeeman effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeeman_effect

    The Paschen–Back effect is the splitting of atomic energy levels in the presence of a strong magnetic field. This occurs when an external magnetic field is sufficiently strong to disrupt the coupling between orbital and spin angular momenta. This effect is the strong-field limit of the Zeeman effect.

  5. Doppler broadening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_broadening

    In atomic physics, Doppler broadening is broadening of spectral lines due to the Doppler effect caused by a distribution of velocities of atoms or molecules. Different velocities of the emitting (or absorbing ) particles result in different Doppler shifts, the cumulative effect of which is the emission (absorption) line broadening. [ 1 ]

  6. Coupling constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_constant

    The dependence of a coupling g(μ) on the energy-scale is known as "running of the coupling". The theory of the running of couplings is given by the renormalization group , though it should be kept in mind that the renormalization group is a more general concept describing any sort of scale variation in a physical system (see the full article ...

  7. Exchange interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_interaction

    In chemistry and physics, the exchange interaction is a quantum mechanical constraint on the states of indistinguishable particles.While sometimes called an exchange force, or, in the case of fermions, Pauli repulsion, its consequences cannot always be predicted based on classical ideas of force. [1]

  8. Quantum coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_coupling

    Quantum coupling is an effect in quantum mechanics in which two or more quantum systems are bound such that a change in one of the quantum states in one of the ...

  9. Coupled mode theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupled_Mode_Theory

    Coupled mode theory (CMT) is a perturbational approach for analyzing the coupling of vibrational systems (mechanical, optical, electrical, etc.) in space or in time. Coupled mode theory allows a wide range of devices and systems to be modeled as one or more coupled resonators.
