    Any quantity symbol typically subscripted with 0, m or max, or the capitalized letter (if displacement was in lower case). Here for generality A 0 is used and can be replaced. m [L] (Oscillatory) velocity amplitude V, v 0, v m. Here v 0 is used. m s −1 [L][T] −1 (Oscillatory) acceleration amplitude A, a 0, a m. Here a 0 is used. m s −2 [L ...

  3. Wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_equation

    For an incident wave traveling from one medium (where the wave speed is c 1) to another medium (where the wave speed is c 2), one part of the wave will transmit into the second medium, while another part reflects back into the other direction and stays in the first medium. The amplitude of the transmitted wave and the reflected wave can be ...

    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

  5. Delta potential - Wikipedia

    Source: [1] The potential splits the space in two parts (x < 0 and x > 0).In each of these parts the potential is zero, and the Schrödinger equation reduces to =; this is a linear differential equation with constant coefficients, whose solutions are linear combinations of e ikx and e −ikx, where the wave number k is related to the energy by =.

    is the speed of light (i.e. phase velocity) in a medium with permeability μ, and permittivity ε, and ∇ 2 is the Laplace operator. In a vacuum, v ph = c 0 = 299 792 458 m/s, a fundamental physical constant. [1] The electromagnetic wave equation derives from Maxwell's equations.

  7. Sine and cosine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_and_cosine

    In mathematics, sine and cosine are trigonometric functions of an angle.The sine and cosine of an acute angle are defined in the context of a right triangle: for the specified angle, its sine is the ratio of the length of the side that is opposite that angle to the length of the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse), and the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to that ...

    The equality is attained only in the case = ^ = where σ > 0 is arbitrary and C 1 = ⁠ 4 √ 2 / √ σ ⁠ so that f is L 2-normalized. [16] In other words, where f is a (normalized) Gaussian function with variance σ 2 /2 π , centered at zero, and its Fourier transform is a Gaussian function with variance σ −2 /2 π .

    Fig 2. The blue curve is the cross-correlation of a square wave and a cosine template, as the phase lag of the template varies over one cycle. The amplitude and phase at the maximum value are the polar coordinates of one harmonic in the Fourier series expansion of the square wave.
