  2. Helical antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helical_antenna

    In order to operate in axial-mode, the circumference should be equal to the wavelength. [5] The pitch angle should be 13°, which is a pitch distance (distance between each turn) of 0.23 times the circumference, which means the spacing between the coils should be approximately one-quarter of the wavelength (⁠ λ / 4 ⁠).

    Very Low (short or average and low wave) 2 Low (long and low wave) 3 Light (short and moderate wave) 4 Moderate (average and moderate wave) 5 Moderate rough (long and moderate wave) 6 Rough (short and high wave) 7 High (average and high wave) 8 Very high (long and high wave) 9 Confused (wavelength and height indefinable)

  4. Spatial frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_frequency

    In mathematics, physics, and engineering, spatial frequency is a characteristic of any structure that is periodic across position in space.The spatial frequency is a measure of how often sinusoidal components (as determined by the Fourier transform) of the structure repeat per unit of distance.

  5. End correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_correction

    An acoustic pipe, such as an organ pipe, marimba, or flute resonates at a specific pitch or frequency. Longer pipes resonate at lower frequencies, producing lower-pitched sounds. The details of acoustic resonance are taught in many elementary physics classes. In an ideal tube, the wavelength of the sound produced is directly proportional to the ...

  6. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are ...

  7. Organ flue pipe scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_flue_pipe_scaling

    The sound of an organ pipe is made up of a set of harmonics formed by acoustic resonance, with wavelengths that are fractions of the length of the pipe.There are nodes of stationary air, and antinodes of moving air, two of which will be the two ends of an open-ended organ-pipe (the mouth, and the open end at the top). [1]

  8. Envelope (waves) - Wikipedia

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

    A modulated wave resulting from adding two sine waves of identical amplitude and nearly identical wavelength and frequency. A common situation resulting in an envelope function in both space x and time t is the superposition of two waves of almost the same wavelength and frequency: [2]

  9. Wave height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_height

    Depending on context, wave height may be defined in different ways: For a sine wave, the wave height H is twice the amplitude (i.e., the peak-to-peak amplitude): [1] =.; For a periodic wave, it is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum of the surface elevation z = η(x – c p t): [1] = {()} {()}, with c p the phase speed (or propagation speed) of the wave.
