    Position of a point in space, not necessarily a point on the wave profile or any line of propagation d, r: m [L] Wave profile displacement Along propagation direction, distance travelled (path length) by one wave from the source point r 0 to any point in space d (for longitudinal or transverse waves) L, d, r

  3. Wave tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_tank

    A wave tank is a laboratory setup for observing the behavior of surface waves. The typical wave tank is a box filled with liquid, usually water, leaving open or air-filled space on top. At one end of the tank, an actuator generates waves; the other end usually has a wave-absorbing surface. [1]

  4. Bloch oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloch_oscillation

    The oscillation period in those structures is smaller than the diffraction time of the electrons, hence more oscillations can be observed in a time window below the diffraction time. For the first time the experimental observation of Bloch oscillations in such super lattices at very low temperatures was shown by Jochen Feldmann and Karl Leo in ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Group velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_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. [1] The group velocity is positive (i.e., the envelope of the wave moves rightward), while the phase velocity is negative (i.e., the peaks and troughs move ...

  7. Wave interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference

    The interference of two waves. In phase: the two lower waves combine (left panel), resulting in a wave of added amplitude (constructive interference). Out of phase: (here by 180 degrees), the two lower waves combine (right panel), resulting in a wave of zero amplitude (destructive interference). Interfering water waves on the surface of a lake

  8. Composite video - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_video

    Composite video is an baseband analog video format that typically carries a 405, 525 or 625 line interlaced black and white or color signal, on a single channel, unlike the higher-quality S-Video (two channels) and the even higher-quality YPbPr (three channels).

  9. Wave shoaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_shoaling

    The shoaling coefficient depends on the local water depth and the wave frequency (or equivalently on and the wave period = /). Deep water means that the waves are (hardly) affected by the sea bed, which occurs when the depth h {\displaystyle h} is larger than about half the deep-water wavelength L 0 = g T 2 / ( 2 π ) . {\displaystyle L_{0}=gT ...
