    m s −2 [L][T] −2: Spatial position 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. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

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

    So let us just consider waves whose | e x | 2 + | e y | 2 = 1; this happens to correspond to an intensity of about 0.001 33 W/m 2 in free space (where η = η 0). And because the absolute phase of a wave is unimportant in discussing its polarization state, let us stipulate that the phase of e x is zero; in other words e x is a real number while ...

  4. Longitudinal mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_mode

    The first six longitudinal modes of a plane-parallel cavity. A longitudinal mode of a resonant cavity is a particular standing wave pattern formed by waves confined in the cavity. The longitudinal modes correspond to the wavelengths of the wave which are reinforced by constructive interference after many reflections from the cavity's reflecting ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    Where d is the distance between the two slits. When the two waves are in phase, i.e. the path difference is equal to an integral number of wavelengths, the summed amplitude, and therefore the summed intensity is maximum, and when they are in anti-phase, i.e. the path difference is equal to half a wavelength, one and a half wavelengths, etc ...

  6. Photon polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_polarization

    Photon polarization is the quantum mechanical description of the classical polarized sinusoidal plane electromagnetic wave.An individual photon can be described as having right or left circular polarization, or a superposition of the two.

  7. Circular polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_polarization

    One way to obtain the 90° time-phase difference between the two orthogonal field components, radiated respectively by the two dipoles, is by feeding one of the two dipoles with a transmission line which is 1/4 wavelength longer or shorter than that of the other," p.80;

  8. Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_wave

    "Longitudinal waves" and "transverse waves" have been abbreviated by some authors as "L-waves" and "T-waves", respectively, for their own convenience. [1] While these two abbreviations have specific meanings in seismology (L-wave for Love wave [2] or long wave [3]) and electrocardiography (see T wave), some authors chose to use "ℓ-waves" (lowercase 'L') and "t-waves" instead, although they ...

  9. Mode (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(electromagnetism)

    Longitudinal-section magnetic (LSM) modes, hybrid modes in which the magnetic field in one of the transverse directions is zero The term eigenmode is used both as a synonym for mode [ 2 ] : 5.4.3 and as the eigenfunctions in a eigenmode expansion analysis of waveguides.
