  2. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    Spectral line shape or spectral line profile describes the form of an electromagnetic spectrum in the vicinity of a spectral line – a region of stronger or weaker intensity in the spectrum. Ideal line shapes include Lorentzian , Gaussian and Voigt functions, whose parameters are the line position, maximum height and half-width. [ 1 ]

  3. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    The term "damped sine wave" describes all such damped waveforms, whatever their initial phase. The most common form of damping, which is usually assumed, is the form found in linear systems. This form is exponential damping, in which the outer envelope of the successive peaks is an exponential decay curve.

  4. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    The form of the line profile is determined by the functional form of the perturbing force with respect to distance from the perturbing particle. There may also be a shift in the line center. The general expression for the lineshape resulting from quasistatic pressure broadening is a 4-parameter generalization of the Gaussian distribution known ...

  5. Shape and form (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_and_form_(visual_arts)

    A form is an artist's way of using elements of art, principles of design, and media. Form, as an element of art, is three-dimensional and encloses space. Like a shape, a form has length and width, but it also has depth. Forms are either geometric or free-form, and can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.

  6. Damped wave (radio transmission) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damped_wave_(radio...

    A damped wave was an early method of radio transmission produced by the first radio transmitters (spark gap transmitters) which consisted of a series of damped radio waves. Information was carried on this signal by telegraphy, turning the transmitter on and off (on-off keying) to send messages in Morse code.

  7. Line art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_art

    Art Nouveau line art. Line art emphasizes form and drawings, of several (few) constant widths (as in technical illustrations), or of freely varying widths (as in brush work or engraving). Line art may tend towards realism (as in much of Gustave Doré's work), or it may be a caricature, cartoon, ideograph, or glyph.

  8. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The input impedance of an infinite line is equal to the characteristic impedance since the transmitted wave is never reflected back from the end. Equivalently: The characteristic impedance of a line is that impedance which, when terminating an arbitrary length of line at its output, produces an input impedance of equal value. This is so because ...

  9. Acoustic transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_transmission_line

    Sound is introduced at one end of the tube by forcing the pressure across the whole cross-section to vary with time. An almost planar wavefront travels down the line at the speed of sound. When the wave reaches the end of the transmission line, behaviour depends on what is present at the end of the line. There are three possible scenarios:
