  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. Wave shoaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_shoaling

    The phase velocity c p (blue) and group velocity c g (red) as a function of water depth h for surface gravity waves of constant frequency, according to Airy wave theory. Quantities have been made dimensionless using the gravitational acceleration g and period T , with the deep-water wavelength given by L 0 = gT 2 /(2π) and the deep-water phase ...

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    Its reduction with increasing frequency, as the ratio of skin depth to the wire's radius falls below about 1, is plotted in the accompanying graph, and accounts for the reduction in the telephone cable inductance with increasing frequency in the table below. The internal component of a round wire's inductance vs. the ratio of skin depth to radius.

  8. 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 ...

  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.
