  2. Sound energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_energy

    Sound waves that have frequencies below 16 Hz are called infrasonic and those above 20 kHz are called ultrasonic. Sound is a mechanical wave and as such consists physically in oscillatory elastic compression and in oscillatory displacement of a fluid. Therefore, the medium acts as storage for both potential and kinetic energy. [1]

  3. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    In the real projective plane, since parallel lines meet at a point on the line at infinity, the parallel line case of the Euclidean plane can be viewed as intersecting lines. However, as the point of intersection is the apex of the cone, the cone itself degenerates to a cylinder, i.e. with the apex at infinity.

  4. Conical intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_intersection

    The singularity of vibronic coupling at conical intersections is responsible for the existence of Geometric phase, which was discovered by Longuet-Higgins [3] in this context. Degenerate points between potential energy surfaces lie in what is called the intersection or seam space with a dimensionality of 3N-8 (where N is the number of atoms).

  5. Potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_energy

    There are various types of potential energy, each associated with a particular type of force. For example, the work of an elastic force is called elastic potential energy; work of the gravitational force is called gravitational potential energy; work of the Coulomb force is called electric potential energy; work of the strong nuclear force or weak nuclear force acting on the baryon charge is ...

    This is a list of potential energy functions that are frequently used in quantum mechanics and have any meaning. One-dimensional potentials

  7. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    First we consider the intersection of two lines L 1 and L 2 in two-dimensional space, with line L 1 being defined by two distinct points (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2), and line L 2 being defined by two distinct points (x 3, y 3) and (x 4, y 4). [2] The intersection P of line L 1 and L 2 can be defined using determinants.

  8. Degenerate conic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_conic

    In geometry, a degenerate conic is a conic (a second-degree plane curve, defined by a polynomial equation of degree two) that fails to be an irreducible curve.This means that the defining equation is factorable over the complex numbers (or more generally over an algebraically closed field) as the product of two linear polynomials.

  9. Node (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(physics)

    Fixed boundary: Examples of this type of boundary are the attachment point of a guitar string, the closed end of an open pipe like an organ pipe, or a woodwind pipe, the periphery of a drumhead, a transmission line with the end short circuited, or the mirrors at the ends of a laser cavity. In this type, the amplitude of the wave is forced to ...
