  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Oscillating U-tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillating_U-tube

    The oscillating U-tube is a technique to determine the density of liquids and gases based on an electronic measurement of the frequency of oscillation, from which the density value is calculated. This measuring principle is based on the Mass-Spring Model.

  6. Physics of whistles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_whistles

    Point monopole. Whistles that generate sound through fluctuations of mass flow across a boundary are called monopole-like sources. The figure on the right is an example of a small sphere whose volume is oscillating.

  7. Stokes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_problem

    The case for an oscillating far-field flow, with the plate held at rest, can easily be constructed from the previous solution for an oscillating plate by using linear superposition of solutions. Consider a uniform velocity oscillation u ( ∞ , t ) = U ∞ cos ⁡ ω t {\displaystyle u(\infty ,t)=U_{\infty }\cos \omega t} far away from the ...

  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. 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 ...
