  2. Medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium

    Transmission medium, in physics and telecommunications, any material substance which can propagate waves or energy . Active laser medium (also called gain medium or lasing medium), a quantum system that allows amplification of power (gain) of waves passing through (usually by stimulated emission)

  3. Transmission medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_medium

    A transmission medium is a system or substance that can mediate the propagation of signals for the purposes of telecommunication. Signals are typically imposed on a wave of some kind suitable for the chosen medium.

  5. Aether theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_theories

    Isaac Newton suggests the existence of an aether in the Third Book of Opticks (1st ed. 1704; 2nd ed. 1718): "Doth not this aethereal medium in passing out of water, glass, crystal, and other compact and dense bodies in empty spaces, grow denser and denser by degrees, and by that means refract the rays of light not in a point, but by bending them gradually in curve lines? ...

  6. Optical medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_medium

    In optics, an optical medium is material through which light and other electromagnetic waves propagate. It is a form of transmission medium . The permittivity and permeability of the medium define how electromagnetic waves propagate in it.

  7. Permeability (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_(Materials...

    The permeability of a medium is related to the porosity, but also to the shapes of the pores in the medium and their level of connectedness. [2] Fluid flows can also be influenced in different lithological settings by brittle deformation of rocks in fault zones; the mechanisms by which this occurs are the subject of fault zone hydrogeology. [3]

  8. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    A mechanical wave is a local deformation (strain) in some physical medium that propagates from particle to particle by creating local stresses that cause strain in neighboring particles too. For example, sound waves are variations of the local pressure and particle motion that propagate through the medium.

  9. Porous medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porous_medium

    In materials science, a porous medium or a porous material is a material containing pores (voids). [1] The skeletal portion of the material is often called the "matrix" or "frame". The pores are typically filled with a fluid ( liquid or gas ).
