  2. Dipole speaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_speaker

    For this reason dipole speakers are often used as surround channel speakers, where a diffuse sound is desired to create ambience. A dipole speaker works by creating air movement (as sound pressure waves) directly from the front and back surfaces of the driver, rather than by impedance matching one or both outputs to the air. As a result ...

  3. Antiferroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiferroelectricity

    In an antiferroelectric, unlike a ferroelectric, the total, macroscopic spontaneous polarization is zero, since the adjacent dipoles cancel each other out. Antiferroelectricity is a property of a material, and it can appear or disappear (more generally, strengthen or weaken) depending on temperature, pressure, external electric field, growth ...

  4. Out of Phase Stereo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_Of_Phase_Stereo

    When a sine wave is mixed with one of identical frequency but opposite amplitude (ie: of an inverse polarity), the combined result is silence. [2] A two-channel stereo recording contains a number of waveforms; sounds that are panned to the extreme left or right will contain the greatest difference in amplitude between the two channels, while those towards the centre will contain the smallest.

  5. Wave interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference

    Classically the two waves must have the same polarization to give rise to interference fringes since it is not possible for waves of different polarizations to cancel one another out or add together. Instead, when waves of different polarization are added together, they give rise to a wave of a different polarization state .

  6. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    The dipoles do not cancel out, resulting in a net dipole. The dipole moment of water depends on its state. In the gas phase the dipole moment is ≈ 1.86 debye (D), [ 11 ] whereas liquid water (≈ 2.95 D) [ 12 ] and ice (≈ 3.09 D) [ 13 ] are higher due to differing hydrogen-bonded environments.

  7. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    The bent molecule H 2 O has a net dipole. The two bond dipoles do not cancel. The overall dipole moment of a molecule may be approximated as a vector sum of bond dipole moments. As a vector sum it depends on the relative orientation of the bonds, so that from the dipole moment information can be deduced about the molecular geometry.

  8. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    This occurs if there is symmetry within the molecule that causes the dipoles to cancel each other out. This occurs in molecules such as tetrachloromethane and carbon dioxide. The dipoledipole interaction between two individual atoms is usually zero, since atoms rarely carry a permanent dipole. The Keesom interaction is a van der Waals force.

  9. Dielectric absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_absorption

    Dielectric absorption is the name given to the effect by which a capacitor, that has been charged for a long time, discharges only incompletely when briefly discharged.. Although an ideal capacitor would remain at zero volts after being discharged, real capacitors will develop a small voltage from time-delayed dipole discharging, [1] a phenomenon that is also called dielectric relaxation ...
