  2. Cosmic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_noise

    Cosmic noise, also known as galactic radio noise, is a physical phenomenon derived from outside of the Earth's atmosphere.It is not actually sound, and it can be detected through a radio receiver, which is an electronic device that receives radio waves and converts the information given by them to an audible form.

  3. Resonant interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_interaction

    During summertime in shallow coastal waters, low-frequency sound-waves have been observed to propagate in an anomalous fashion. The anomalies are time-dependent, anisotropic, and can exhibit abnormally large attenuation. Resonant interaction between acoustic waves and soliton internal waves have been proposed as the source of these anomalies. [11]

  4. Orbital resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_resonance

    A Laplace resonance is a three-body resonance with a 1:2:4 orbital period ratio (equivalent to a 4:2:1 ratio of orbits). The term arose because Pierre-Simon Laplace discovered that such a resonance governed the motions of Jupiter's moons Io , Europa , and Ganymede .

  5. NASA offers explanation for bizarre 'trumpet noise' phenomena

    Now NASA is stepping in to provide some insight into what could actually be causing this scary pattern. NASA scientists believe the ominous noises could potentially be the "background noise" of ...

  6. Schumann resonances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances

    The global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952. Schumann resonances are the principal background in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum [2] from 3 Hz through 60 Hz [3] and appear as distinct peaks at extremely low frequencies around 7.83 Hz (fundamental), 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.

  7. Standing wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave

    The most common cause of standing waves is the phenomenon of resonance, in which standing waves occur inside a resonator due to interference between waves reflected back and forth at the resonator's resonant frequency. For waves of equal amplitude traveling in opposing directions, there is on average no net propagation of energy.

  8. Node (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(physics)

    They occur when waves are reflected at a boundary, such as sound waves reflected from a wall or electromagnetic waves reflected from the end of a transmission line, and particularly when waves are confined in a resonator at resonance, bouncing back and forth between two boundaries, such as in an organ pipe or guitar string.

  9. Wave interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference

    The resultant wave may have greater intensity (constructive interference) or lower amplitude (destructive interference) if the two waves are in phase or out of phase, respectively. Interference effects can be observed with all types of waves, for example, light , radio , acoustic , surface water waves , gravity waves , or matter waves as well ...
