  2. Young's interference experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_interference...

    It is seen that the relative paths of the light travelling from the two points sources to a given point in the viewing plane varies with the angle θ, so that their relative phases also vary. When the path difference is equal to an integer number of wavelengths, the two waves add together to give a maximum in the brightness, whereas when the ...

  3. Two-ray ground-reflection model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-ray_ground-reflection...

    The 2-ray ground reflection model is a simplified propagation model used to estimate the path loss between a transmitter and a receiver in wireless communication systems, in order to estimate the actual communication paths used. It assumes that the signal propagates through two paths:

  4. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    A car is moving in high speed during a championship, with respect to the ground the position is changing according to time hence the car is in relative motion . In physics, motion is when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point in a given time.

  5. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity.Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations.

  6. Orbit equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_equation

    In astrodynamics, an orbit equation defines the path of orbiting body around central body relative to , without specifying position as a function of time.Under standard assumptions, a body moving under the influence of a force, directed to a central body, with a magnitude inversely proportional to the square of the distance (such as gravity), has an orbit that is a conic section (i.e. circular ...

  7. Hamiltonian path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_path

    In the mathematical field of graph theory, a Hamiltonian path (or traceable path) is a path in an undirected or directed graph that visits each vertex exactly once. A Hamiltonian cycle (or Hamiltonian circuit) is a cycle that visits each vertex exactly once. A Hamiltonian path that starts and ends at adjacent vertices can be completed by adding ...

  8. Apparent polar wander - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_polar_wander

    Apparent polar wander (APW) is the perceived movement of the Earth's paleomagnetic poles relative to a continent while regarding the continent being studied as fixed in position. [1] It is frequently displayed on the present latitude-longitude map as a path connecting the locations of geomagnetic poles , inferred at distinct times using ...

  9. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    The vertical black line is the Earth's path through spacetime and the other two sides of the triangle show the ship's path through spacetime (as in the Minkowski diagram above). As far as the sender is concerned, he transmits these at equal intervals (say, once an hour) according to his own clock; but according to the clock of the twin ...
