  2. Wave packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_packet

    From the basic one-dimensional plane-wave solutions, a general form of a wave packet can be expressed as (,) = (()). where the amplitude A(k), containing the coefficients of the wave superposition, follows from taking the inverse Fourier transform of a "sufficiently nice" initial wave u(x, t) evaluated at t = 0: = (,) . and / comes from Fourier ...

    JEE(Advanced) 2020 was scheduled on 17 May 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the JEE-Main 2020 April attempt was postponed to September (JEE(Main) 2020 September attempt was held from 1 September 2020 to 6 September 2020). JEE(Advanced) 2020 was also postponed and was held on 27 September 2020.

  4. Soliton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soliton

    Solitary wave in a laboratory wave channel. In mathematics and physics, a soliton is a nonlinear, self-reinforcing, localized wave packet that is strongly stable, in that it preserves its shape while propagating freely, at constant velocity, and recovers it even after collisions with other such localized wave packets.

  5. Partial-wave analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial-wave_analysis

    where () ⁡ is the incoming plane wave, and () is a scattered part perturbing the original wave function. It is the asymptotic form of Ψ s ( r ) {\displaystyle \Psi _{\text{s}}(\mathbf {r} )} that is of interest, because observations near the scattering center (e.g. an atomic nucleus) are mostly not feasible, and detection of particles takes ...

  6. Shallow water equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_water_equations

    Shallow-water equations can be used to model Rossby and Kelvin waves in the atmosphere, rivers, lakes and oceans as well as gravity waves in a smaller domain (e.g. surface waves in a bath). In order for shallow-water equations to be valid, the wavelength of the phenomenon they are supposed to model has to be much larger than the depth of the ...

  7. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    Only acoustic waves that have frequencies lying between about 20 Hz and 20 kHz, the audio frequency range, elicit an auditory percept in humans. In air at atmospheric pressure, these represent sound waves with wavelengths of 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 centimeters (0.67 in). Sound waves above 20 kHz are known as ultrasound and are not audible to ...

  8. Sinusoidal plane-wave solutions of the electromagnetic wave ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusoidal_plane-wave...

    Sinusoidal plane-wave solutions are particular solutions to the wave equation. The general solution of the electromagnetic wave equation in homogeneous, linear, time-independent media can be written as a linear superposition of plane-waves of different frequencies and polarizations .

  9. Magnetosonic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosonic_wave

    In physics, magnetosonic waves, also known as magnetoacoustic waves, are low-frequency compressive waves driven by mutual interaction between an electrically conducting fluid and a magnetic field. They are associated with compression and rarefaction of both the fluid and the magnetic field, as well as with an effective tension that acts to ...
