  2. Bragg's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg's_law

    This equation, Bragg's law, describes the condition on θ for constructive interference. [12] A map of the intensities of the scattered waves as a function of their angle is called a diffraction pattern. Strong intensities known as Bragg peaks are obtained in the diffraction pattern when the scattering angles satisfy Bragg condition.

  3. Acousto-optic modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acousto-optic_modulator

    An acousto-optic modulator (AOM), also called a Bragg cell or an acousto-optic deflector (AOD), uses the acousto-optic effect to diffract and shift the frequency of light using sound waves (usually at radio-frequency). They are used in lasers for Q-switching, telecommunications for signal modulation, and in spectroscopy for frequency control.

  4. Hicks equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hicks_equation

    In fluid dynamics, Hicks equation, sometimes also referred as Bragg–Hawthorne equation or Squire–Long equation, is a partial differential equation that describes the distribution of stream function for axisymmetric inviscid fluid, named after William Mitchinson Hicks, who derived it first in 1898.

  5. Distributed Bragg reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Bragg_reflector

    Time-resolved simulation of a pulse reflecting from a Bragg mirror. A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a reflector used in waveguides, such as optical fibers.It is a structure formed from multiple layers of alternating materials with different refractive index, or by periodic variation of some characteristic (such as height) of a dielectric waveguide, resulting in periodic variation in the ...

  6. Matter wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave

    In (B–F), the horizontal axis is position, and the vertical axis is the real part (blue) and imaginary part (red) of the wavefunction. The states (B,C,D) are energy eigenstates, but (E,F) are not. The third class are matter waves which have a wavevector, a wavelength and vary with time, but have a zero group velocity or probability flux.

  7. Mean-field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean-field_theory

    In physics and probability theory, Mean-field theory (MFT) or Self-consistent field theory studies the behavior of high-dimensional random models by studying a simpler model that approximates the original by averaging over degrees of freedom (the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary).

  8. Lawrence Bragg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Bragg

    Portrait of William Lawrence Bragg taken when he was around 40 years old. Sir William Lawrence Bragg (31 March 1890 – 1 July 1971) was an Australian-born British physicist who shared the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics with his father William Henry Bragg "for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays", [3] an important step in the development of X-ray crystallography.

  9. Scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering

    Wine glass in LCD projectors light beam makes the beam scatter.. In physics, scattering is a wide range of physical processes where moving particles or radiation of some form, such as light or sound, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by localized non-uniformities (including particles and radiation) in the medium through which they pass.
