Interference (wave propagation) — Two point interference in a ripple tank. In physics, interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superpose each other to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are… … Wikipedia
Wave equation — Not to be confused with Wave function. The wave equation is an important second order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves – as they occur in physics – such as sound waves, light waves and water waves. It arises in… … Wikipedia
Wave vector — A wave vector is a vector representation of a wave. The wave vector has magnitude indicating wavenumber (reciprocal of wavelength), and the direction of the vector indicates the direction of wave propagation.The wave vector is most useful for… … Wikipedia
Vector soliton — Among all the soliton considered, the optical soliton draws the most attention as it is possible to generate ultrafast pulses and has wider application. optical soliton can be classified as two groups:temporal soliton and spatial soliton.however … Wikipedia
Propagation constant — The propagation constant of an electromagnetic wave is a measure of the change undergone by the amplitude of the wave as it propagates in a given direction. The quantity being measured can be the voltage or current in a circuit or a field vector… … Wikipedia

Vector — In medicine, a vector is a carrier. The best way to understand a vector is to recall its origin as a word. Vector is the Latin word for a bearer. In parasitology (the study of parasitic organisms), the vector carries the parasitic agent. For… … Medical dictionary
wave vector — noun A vector whose direction is that of the direction of propagation of a wave, and whose magnitude is inversely proportional to its wavelength … Wiktionary
Electromagnetic wave equation — The electromagnetic wave equation is a second order partial differential equation that describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a medium or in a vacuum. The homogeneous form of the equation, written in terms of either the… … Wikipedia
Airy wave theory — In fluid dynamics, Airy wave theory (often referred to as linear wave theory) gives a linearised description of the propagation of gravity waves on the surface of a homogeneous fluid layer. The theory assumes that the fluid layer has a uniform… … Wikipedia
Plane wave — [ real part of a plane wave travelling up.] In the physics of wave propagation (especially electromagnetic waves), a plane wave (also spelled planewave) is a constant frequency wave whose wavefronts (surfaces of constant phase) are infinite… … Wikipedia
