  2. Tuning fork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuning_fork

    Thus by pressing the tuning fork's base against a sound board such as a wooden box, table top, or bridge of a musical instrument, this small motion, but which is at a high acoustic pressure (thus a very high acoustic impedance), is partly converted into audible sound in air which involves a much greater motion (particle velocity) at a ...

  3. Fundamental frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_frequency

    where is the speed of the wave, the fundamental frequency can be found in terms of the speed of the wave and the length of the pipe: f 0 = v 4 L {\displaystyle f_{0}={\frac {v}{4L}}} If the ends of the same pipe are now both closed or both opened, the wavelength of the fundamental harmonic becomes 2 L {\displaystyle 2L} .

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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).

  6. Extreme ultraviolet lithography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet...

    Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL, also known simply as EUV) is a technology used in the semiconductor industry for manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs). It is a type of photolithography that uses 13.5 nm extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light from a laser-pulsed tin (Sn) plasma to create intricate patterns on semiconductor substrates.

  7. 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 ...

    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)

  9. 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]
