  2. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    In addition, an oscillating system may be subject to some external force, as when an AC circuit is connected to an outside power source. In this case the oscillation is said to be driven . The simplest example of this is a spring-mass system with a sinusoidal driving force.

  3. Rabi cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabi_cycle

    One example of Rabi flopping is the spin flipping within a quantum system containing a spin-1/2 particle and an oscillating magnetic field. We split the magnetic field into a constant 'environment' field, and the oscillating part, so that our field looks like = + = + (⁡ + ⁡ ()) where and are the strengths of the environment and the oscillating fields respectively, and is the frequency at ...

  5. Spherical astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_astronomy

    Spherical astronomy, or positional astronomy, is a branch of observational astronomy used to locate astronomical objects on the celestial sphere, as seen at a particular date, time, and location on Earth. It relies on the mathematical methods of spherical trigonometry and the measurements of astrometry.

  6. Osculating orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osculating_orbit

    Osculating orbit (inner, black) and perturbed orbit (red) In astronomy, and in particular in astrodynamics, the osculating orbit of an object in space at a given moment in time is the gravitational Kepler orbit (i.e. an elliptic or other conic one) that it would have around its central body if perturbations were absent. [1]

  7. Ramsey interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey_interferometry

    A simplified version of the Rabi method consists of a beam of atoms, all having the same speed and the same direction, sent through one interaction zone of length .The atoms are two-level atoms with a transition energy of (this is defined by applying a field ‖ in an excitation direction ^, and thus = | ‖ |, the Larmor frequency), and with an interaction time of = / in the interaction zone.

  8. Quantum harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator

    Some trajectories of a harmonic oscillator according to Newton's laws of classical mechanics (A–B), and according to the Schrödinger equation of quantum mechanics (C–H). ). In A–B, the particle (represented as a ball attached to a spring) oscillates back and fo

  9. Newton's cradle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_cradle

    When one sphere at the end is lifted and released, it strikes the stationary spheres, compressing them and thereby transmitting a pressure wave through the stationary spheres, which creates a force that pushes the last sphere upward. The last sphere swings back and strikes the stationary spheres, repeating the effect in the opposite direction.
