  2. Envelope (waves) - Wikipedia

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

    Envelope (waves) In physics and engineering, the envelope of an oscillating signal is a smooth curve outlining its extremes. [1] The envelope thus generalizes the concept of a constant amplitude into an instantaneous amplitude. The figure illustrates a modulated sine wave varying between an upper envelope and a lower envelope.

  3. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    A standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave whose envelope remains in a constant position. This phenomenon arises as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The sum of two counter-propagating waves (of equal amplitude and frequency) creates a standing wave. Standing waves commonly arise when ...

  4. Wave packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_packet

    Wave packet. A looped animation of a wave packet propagating without dispersion: the envelope is maintained even as the phase changes. In physics, a wave packet (also known as a wave train or wave group) is a short burst of localized wave action that travels as a unit, outlined by an envelope. A wave packet can be analyzed into, or can be ...

  5. Waveguide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveguide

    Electric field Ex component of the TE31 mode inside an x-band hollow metal waveguide. A waveguide is a structure that guides waves by restricting the transmission of energy to one direction. Common types of waveguides include acoustic waveguides which direct sound, optical waveguides which direct light, and radio-frequency waveguides which ...

  6. Slowly varying envelope approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowly_varying_envelope...

    In physics, slowly varying envelope approximation[1] (SVEA, sometimes also called slowly varying asymmetric approximation or SVAA) is the assumption that the envelope of a forward-travelling wave pulse varies slowly in time and space compared to a period or wavelength. This requires the spectrum of the signal to be narrow-banded —hence it is ...

  7. Mail art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_art

    Mail art by György Galántai, 1981. Mail art, also known as postal art and correspondence art, is an artistic movement centered on sending small-scale works through the postal service. It developed out of what eventually became Ray Johnson 's New York Correspondence School and the Fluxus movements of the 1960s.

    Love Monster is an animated children's television series that premiered on CBeebies on 27 January 2020. It is based on the books by Rachel Bright. [1] [2] [3] It focuses on the misadventures of the titular monster and his friends.

  9. Envelope (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(music)

    Envelope (music) In sound and music, an envelope describes how a sound changes over time. For example, a piano key, when struck and held, creates a near-immediate initial sound which gradually decreases in volume to zero. An envelope may relate to elements such as amplitude (volume), frequency (with the use of filters) or pitch.
