  2. Euclidean plane isometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane_isometry

    Reflection. Reflections, or mirror isometries, denoted by F c,v, where c is a point in the plane and v is a unit vector in R 2.(F is for "flip".) have the effect of reflecting the point p in the line L that is perpendicular to v and that passes through c.

  3. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    A point with a reflection coefficient magnitude 0.63 and angle 60° represented in polar form as , is shown as point P 1 on the Smith chart. To plot this, one may use the circumferential (reflection coefficient) angle scale to find the ∠ 60 ∘ {\displaystyle \angle 60^{\circ }\,} graduation and a ruler to draw a line passing through this and ...

  4. Reflection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(mathematics)

    Point Q is the reflection of point P through the line AB. In a plane (or, respectively, 3-dimensional) geometry, to find the reflection of a point drop a perpendicular from the point to the line (plane) used for reflection, and extend it the same distance on the other side. To find the reflection of a figure, reflect each point in the figure.

  5. Reflection phase change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_phase_change

    A wave on a string experiences a 180° phase change when it reflects from a point where the string is fixed. [2] [3] Reflections from the free end of a string exhibit no phase change. The phase change when reflecting from a fixed point contributes to the formation of standing waves on strings, which produce the sound from stringed instruments.

  6. Glide reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_reflection

    A typical example of glide reflection in everyday life would be the track of footprints left in the sand by a person walking on a beach. Frieze group nr. 6 (glide-reflections, translations and rotations) is generated by a glide reflection and a rotation about a point on the line of reflection. It is isomorphic to a semi-direct product of Z and C 2.

  7. Parallax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax

    A simplified illustration of the parallax of an object against a distant background due to a perspective shift. When viewed from "Viewpoint A", the object appears to be in front of the blue square. When the viewpoint is changed to "Viewpoint B", the object appears to have moved in front of the red square. This animation is an example of parallax.

  8. Hyperbolic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_motion

    "rotation" around an ideal point (horolation) — two reflections through lines leading to the ideal point; points move along horocycles centered on the ideal point; two degrees of freedom. translation along a straight line — two reflections through lines perpendicular to the given line; points off the given line move along hypercycles; three ...

  9. Translation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(geometry)

    Each point ⁠ (,) ⁠ of the original graph corresponds to the point ⁠ (, +) ⁠ in the new graph, which pictorially results in a vertical shift. [3] For example, taking the quadratic function ⁠ = ⁠, whose graph is a parabola with vertex at ⁠ (,) ⁠, a horizontal translation 5 units to the right would be the new function ...
