  2. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    The spectrum of ice is similar to that of liquid water, with peak maxima at 3400 cm −1 (2.941 μm), 3220 cm −1 (3.105 μm) and 1620 cm −1 (6.17 μm) [14] In both liquid water and ice clusters, low-frequency vibrations occur, which involve the stretching (TS) or bending (TB) of intermolecular hydrogen bonds (O–H•••O).

  3. Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars...

    In dielectric spectroscopy, large frequency dependent contributions to the dielectric response, especially at low frequencies, may come from build-ups of charge.This Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars polarization (or often just Maxwell–Wagner polarization), occurs either at inner dielectric boundary layers on a mesoscopic scale, or at the external electrode-sample interface on a macroscopic scale.

  4. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

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

    The effects of a polarizing filter (right image) on the sky in a photograph. Polarization is observed in the light of the sky, as this is due to sunlight scattered by aerosols as it passes through Earth's atmosphere. The scattered light produces the brightness and color in clear skies. This partial polarization of scattered light can be used to ...

  5. Dispersion (water waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(water_waves)

    Using another normalization for the same frequency dispersion relation, the figure on the right shows that for a fixed wavelength λ the phase speed c p increases with increasing water depth. [1] Until, in deep water with water depth h larger than half the wavelength λ (so for h/λ > 0.5), the phase velocity c p is independent of the water ...

  6. Circular polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_polarization

    In electrodynamics, circular polarization of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization state in which, at each point, the electromagnetic field of the wave has a constant magnitude and is rotating at a constant rate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

  7. Kerr effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_effect

    The Kerr effect, also called the quadratic electro-optic (QEO) effect, is a change in the refractive index of a material in response to an applied electric field.The Kerr effect is distinct from the Pockels effect in that the induced index change for the Kerr effect is directly proportional to the square of the electric field instead of varying linearly with it.

  8. Mie scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mie_scattering

    Mie theory has been used in the detection of oil concentration in polluted water. [30] [31] Mie scattering is the primary method of sizing single sonoluminescing bubbles of air in water [32] [33] [34] and is valid for cavities in materials, as well as particles in materials, as long as the surrounding material is essentially non-absorbing.

  9. Magnetosonic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosonic_wave

    Magnetosonic waves are a type of low-frequency wave present in electrically conducting, magnetized fluids, such as plasmas and liquid metals.They exist at frequencies far below the cyclotron and plasma frequencies of both ions and electrons in the medium (see Plasma parameters § Frequencies).
