  2. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    The plane containing the circle intersects with plane at line . There is a mirror symmetry in the system consisting of plane π {\displaystyle \pi } , Dandelin sphere d {\displaystyle d} and the cone (the plane of symmetry is σ {\displaystyle \sigma } ).

  3. Sinusoidal plane wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusoidal_plane_wave

    In physics, a sinusoidal plane wave is a special case of plane wave: a field whose value varies as a sinusoidal function of time and of the distance from some fixed plane. It is also called a monochromatic plane wave , with constant frequency (as in monochromatic radiation ).

  4. Sine wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

    Tracing the y component of a circle while going around the circle results in a sine wave (red). Tracing the x component results in a cosine wave (blue). Both waves are sinusoids of the same frequency but different phases. A sine wave, sinusoidal wave, or sinusoid (symbol: ∿) is a periodic wave whose waveform (shape) is the trigonometric sine ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    A conic is the curve obtained as the intersection of a plane, called the cutting plane, with the surface of a double cone (a cone with two nappes).It is usually assumed that the cone is a right circular cone for the purpose of easy description, but this is not required; any double cone with some circular cross-section will suffice.

  7. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    From the point of view of projective geometry, an elliptic paraboloid is an ellipsoid that is tangent to the plane at infinity. Plane sections. The plane sections of an elliptic paraboloid can be: a parabola, if the plane is parallel to the axis, a point, if the plane is a tangent plane. an ellipse or empty, otherwise.

    And like all other examples of camouflage, aircraft patterns vary widely between countries, aircraft, historical period, and the location that the aircraft was being deployed to.

  9. Parabolic trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trajectory

    The green path in this image is an example of a parabolic trajectory. A parabolic trajectory is depicted in the bottom-left quadrant of this diagram, where the gravitational potential well of the central mass shows potential energy, and the kinetic energy of the parabolic trajectory is shown in red. The height of the kinetic energy decreases ...
