  2. Granular synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_synthesis

    These sounds include transient audio phenomena and are known in acoustics and signal processing by various names including sound particles, quantum acoustics, sonal atom, grain, glisson, grainlet, trainlet, microarc, wavelet, chirplet, fof, time-frequency atom, pulsar, impulse, toneburst, tone pip, acoustic pixel, and others. In the frequency ...

  3. Sound particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_particle

    In the context of particle displacement and velocity, a sound particle is an imaginary infinitesimal volume of a medium that shares the movement of the medium in response to the presence of sound at a specified point or in a specified region. Sound particles are not molecules in the physical or chemical sense; they do not have defined physical ...

  4. Sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_amplification_by...

    Sound (or lattice vibration) can be described by a phonon just as light can be considered as photons, and therefore one can state that SASER is the acoustic analogue of the laser. [citation needed] In a SASER device, a source (e.g., an electric field as a pump) produces sound waves (lattice vibrations, phonons) that travel through an active medium.

  5. Acoustic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_levitation

    Acoustic levitation is a method for suspending matter in air against gravity using acoustic radiation pressure from high intensity sound waves. [1] [2]It works on the same principles as acoustic tweezers by harnessing acoustic radiation forces.

  6. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    An acoustic wave is a mechanical wave that transmits energy through the movements of atoms and molecules. Acoustic waves transmit through fluids in a longitudinal manner (movement of particles are parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave); in contrast to electromagnetic waves that transmit in transverse manner (movement of particles at a right angle to the direction of propagation ...

  8. Particle Data Group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_Data_Group

    The Review of Particle Physics [2] (formerly Review of Particle Properties, Data on Particles and Resonant States, and Data on Elementary Particles and Resonant States) is a voluminous, 1,200+ page reference work which summarizes particle properties and reviews the current status of elementary particle physics, general relativity and big-bang cosmology.

  9. Wave packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_packet

    For example, if an electron wave packet is initially localized in a region of atomic dimensions (i.e., 1010 m) then the width of the packet doubles in about 10 −16 s. Clearly, particle wave packets spread out very rapidly indeed (in free space): [ 17 ] For instance, after 1 ms, the width will have grown to about a kilometer.
