  2. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    Stationary sound source produces sound waves at a constant frequency f, and the wave-fronts propagate symmetrically away from the source at a constant speed c. The distance between wave-fronts is the wavelength. All observers will hear the same frequency, which will be equal to the actual frequency of the source where f = f 0.

  3. Fundamental diagram of traffic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_diagram_of...

    Fundamental diagrams consist of three different graphs: flow-density, speed-flow, and speed-density. The graphs are two dimensional graphs. All the graphs are related by the equation “flow = speed * density”; this equation is the essential equation in traffic flow.

  4. Hodograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodograph

    A hodograph is a diagram that gives a vectorial visual representation of the movement of a body or a fluid. It is the locus of one end of a variable vector, with the other end fixed. [1] The position of any plotted data on such a diagram is proportional to the velocity of the moving particle. [2] It is also called a velocity diagram.

  5. Aliasing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliasing

    A graph of amplitude vs frequency (not time) for a single sinusoid at frequency 0.6 f s and some of its aliases at 0.4 f s, 1.4 f s, and 1.6 f s would look like the 4 black dots in Fig.3. The red lines depict the paths ( loci ) of the 4 dots if we were to adjust the frequency and amplitude of the sinusoid along the solid red segment (between f ...

  6. Bode plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bode_plot

    Figure 10: Amplitude diagram of a 10th-order electronic filter plotted using a Bode plotter. The Bode plotter is an electronic instrument resembling an oscilloscope, which produces a Bode diagram, or a graph, of a circuit's voltage gain or phase shift plotted against frequency in a feedback control system or a filter. An example of this is ...

  7. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_relation

    Frequency dispersion of surface gravity waves on deep water. The red square moves with the phase velocity, and the green dots propagate with the group velocity. In this deep-water case, the phase velocity is twice the group velocity. The red square traverses the figure in the time it takes the green dot to traverse half.

  8. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)

  9. Phase velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity

    Frequency dispersion in groups of gravity waves on the surface of deep water. The red square moves with the phase velocity, and the green circles propagate with the group velocity. In this deep-water case, the phase velocity is twice the group velocity. The red square overtakes two green circles when moving from the left to the right of the figure.
