  2. Probability amplitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_amplitude

    A wave function for a single electron on 5d atomic orbital of a hydrogen atom. The solid body shows the places where the electron's probability density is above a certain value (here 0.02 nm −3): this is calculated from the probability amplitude. The hue on the colored surface shows the complex phase of the wave function.

  3. The Third Wave (experiment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave_(experiment)

    "The Pride of Lakewood", a 2010 episode of children's animated series Arthur, was loosely based on the Third Wave experiment. In it, students who form a community pride group become fascistic. In 2010, Jones staged a musical called The Wave, written with some of the students in the class. [12]

  4. Phase (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(waves)

    Conversely, a phase reversal or phase inversion implies a 180-degree phase shift. [ 2 ] When the phase difference φ ( t ) {\displaystyle \varphi (t)} is a quarter of turn (a right angle, +90° = π/2 or −90° = 270° = −π/2 = 3π/2 ), sinusoidal signals are sometimes said to be in quadrature , e.g., in-phase and quadrature components of a ...

  5. Diffraction from slits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_from_slits

    The mathematical representation of a radial wave is given by = ⁡ (+) / where =, is the wavelength, is frequency of the wave and is the phase of the wave at the slits at time t = 0. The wave at a screen some distance away from the plane of the slits is given by the sum of the waves emanating from each of the slits.

  6. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    The experiment belongs to a general class of "double path" experiments, in which a wave is split into two separate waves (the wave is typically made of many photons and better referred to as a wave front, not to be confused with the wave properties of the individual photon) that later combine into a single wave.

  7. Phase velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity

    Propagation of a wave packet demonstrating a phase velocity greater than the group velocity. This shows a wave with the group velocity and phase velocity going in different directions. The group velocity is positive, while the phase velocity is negative. [1] The phase velocity of a wave is the rate at which the wave propagates in any medium.

  8. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    Each symbol is encoded as a different phase shift of the carrier sine wave: 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°. A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by a digital modulation scheme such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying. [1]

  9. Phase-space wavefunctions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-space_wavefunctions

    In 2004 Oliveira et al. developed a new wave-function formalism in phase space where the wave-function is associated to the Wigner quasiprobability distribution by means of the Moyal product. [6] An advantage might be that off-diagonal Wigner functions used in superpositions are treated in an intuitive way, ψ 1 ⋆ ψ 2 {\displaystyle \psi _{1 ...
