  2. Water hole (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hole_(radio)

    The waterhole, or water hole, is an especially quiet band of the electromagnetic spectrum between 1420 and 1662 megahertz, corresponding to wavelengths of 18–21 centimeters. It is a popular observing frequency used by radio telescopes in radio astronomy .

  3. Hole in one - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_in_one

    In golf, a hole in one or hole-in-one occurs when a ball hit from a tee to start a hole finishes in the cup. The feat is also known as an ace, mostly in American English.As the feat needs to occur on the stroke that starts a hole, a ball hit from a tee following a lost ball, out-of-bounds, or water hazard is not a hole-in-one, due to the application of a stroke penalty.

  4. Helmholtz resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance

    The Helmholtz resonator, as it is now called, consists of a rigid container of a known volume, nearly spherical in shape, with a small neck and hole in one end and a larger hole in the other end to emit the sound. When the resonator's 'nipple' is placed inside one's ear, a specific frequency of the complex sound can be picked out and heard clearly.

  5. Gravitational wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave

    The speed, wavelength, and frequency of a gravitational wave are related by the equation c = λf, just like the equation for a light wave. For example, the animations shown here oscillate roughly once every two seconds. This would correspond to a frequency of 0.5 Hz, and a wavelength of about 600 000 km, or 47 times the diameter of the Earth.

    −0.06, [1] i.e. one with 2/3 of the maximum possible angular momentum for its mass. The two stars which formed the two black holes were likely formed about 2 billion years after the Big Bang with masses of between 40 and 100 times the mass of the Sun. [56] [57]

    In a span of mere hours, Koehn upped his career hole-in-one total from zero to two. According to the National Hole-In-One Registry, the odds of making two aces in a single round are 67 million to 1.

  8. Physics of whistles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_whistles

    A cylindrical cavity with a small circular, square-edged hole at one end and totally open at the other is known to generate a tone when air is passed through it. It is subject to frequency jumps and hysteresis loops similar to the hole tone. There appear to be two stages, and the feedback is likely class II if the tube is short.

  9. Microwave cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_cavity

    A microwave cavity or radio frequency cavity (RF cavity) is a special type of resonator, consisting of a closed (or largely closed) metal structure that confines electromagnetic fields in the microwave or RF region of the spectrum.
