  2. Allan variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_variance

    An Allan deviation of 1.3 × 10 −9 at observation time 1 s (i.e. τ = 1 s) should be interpreted as there being an instability in frequency between two observations 1 second apart with a relative root mean square (RMS) value of 1.3 × 10 −9. For a 10 MHz clock, this would be equivalent to 13 mHz RMS movement.

  3. Wavenumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber

    where ν is the frequency of the wave, λ is the wavelength, ω = 2πν is the angular frequency of the wave, and v p is the phase velocity of the wave. The dependence of the wavenumber on the frequency (or more commonly the frequency on the wavenumber) is known as a dispersion relation.

  4. Wavenumber–frequency diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber–frequency_diagram

    A wavenumber–frequency diagram is a plot displaying the relationship between the wavenumber (spatial frequency) and the frequency (temporal frequency) of certain phenomena. Usually frequencies are placed on the vertical axis, while wavenumbers are placed on the horizontal axis. [1] [2]

  5. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    In frequency (and thus energy), UV rays sit between the violet end of the visible spectrum and the X-ray range. The UV wavelength spectrum ranges from 399 nm to 10 nm and is divided into 3 sections: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UV is the lowest energy range energetic enough to ionize atoms, separating electrons from them, and thus causing chemical reactions.

  6. Electrical length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_length

    The phase velocity at which electrical signals travel along a transmission line or other cable depends on the construction of the line. Therefore, the wavelength corresponding to a given frequency varies in different types of lines, thus at a given frequency different conductors of the same physical length can have different electrical lengths.

  7. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_relation

    Frequency dispersion of surface gravity waves on deep water. The red square moves with the phase velocity, and the green dots propagate with the group velocity. In this deep-water case, the phase velocity is twice the group velocity. The red square traverses the figure in the time it takes the green dot to traverse half.

  8. Spatial frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_frequency

    The value of each data point in k-space is measured in the unit of 1/meter, i.e. the unit of spatial frequency. It is very common that the raw data in k-space shows features of periodic functions. The periodicity is not spatial frequency, but is temporal frequency. An MRI raw data matrix is composed of a series of phase-variable spin-echo signals.

  9. Rydberg formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_formula

    In 1890, Rydberg proposed on a formula describing the relation between the wavelengths in spectral lines of alkali metals. [2]: v1:376 He noticed that lines came in series and he found that he could simplify his calculations using the wavenumber (the number of waves occupying the unit length, equal to 1/λ, the inverse of the wavelength) as his unit of measurement.
