  2. Sound speed gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_speed_gradient

    A sound speed gradient leads to refraction of sound wavefronts in the direction of lower sound speed, causing the sound rays to follow a curved path. The radius of curvature of the sound path is inversely proportional to the gradient. [2] When the sun warms the Earth's surface, there is a negative temperature gradient in atmosphere.

  3. Gradation (art) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradation_(art)

    In the visual arts, gradation is the technique of gradually transitioning from one hue to another, or from one shade to another, or one texture to another. Space, distance, atmosphere, volume, and curved or rounded forms are some of the visual effects created with gradation. [1] A gradient illustration, showing a gradation spectrum from black ...

  4. Perlin noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlin_noise

    Perlin noise is a type of gradient noise developed by Ken Perlin in 1983. It has many uses, including but not limited to: procedurally generating terrain , applying pseudo-random changes to a variable, and assisting in the creation of image textures .

  5. Noise (spectral phenomenon) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(spectral_phenomenon)

    Noise in computer graphics refers to various pseudo-random functions used to create textures, including: Gradient noise, created by interpolation of a lattice of pseudorandom gradients Perlin noise, a type of gradient noise developed in 1983; Simplex noise, a method for constructing an n-dimensional noise function comparable to Perlin noise

  6. Colors of noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colors_of_noise

    Noise that has a frequency spectrum of predominantly zero power level over all frequencies except for a few narrow bands or spikes. Note: An example of black noise in a facsimile transmission system is the spectrum that might be obtained when scanning a black area in which there are a few random white spots. Thus, in the time domain, a few ...

  7. Gradient noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_noise

    Gradient noise is a type of noise commonly used as a procedural texture primitive in computer graphics. It is conceptually different from [ further explanation needed ] , and often confused with, value noise .

  8. Refraction (sound) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refraction_(sound)

    In the atmosphere, vertical gradients of wind speed and temperature lead to refraction. [1] The wind speed is usually increasing with height, which leads to a downward bending of the sound rays towards the ground. The same holds if the temperature is increasing with height . If the temperature is decreasing with height and the wind speed is low ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_in_education

    Arts in education is an expanding field of educational research and practice informed by investigations into learning through arts experiences. In this context, the arts can include Performing arts education (dance, drama, music), literature and poetry, storytelling, Visual arts education in film, craft, design, digital arts, media and photography.
