  2. Quantization of the electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_of_the...

    The energy content of this volume element at 5 km from the station is 2.1 × 10 −10 × 0.109 = 2.3 × 10 −11 J, which amounts to 3.4 × 10 14 photons per (). Since 3.4 × 10 14 > 1, quantum effects do not play a role. The waves emitted by this station are well-described by the classical limit and quantum mechanics is not needed.

  3. Injection locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_locking

    Injection pulling and injection locking can be observed in numerous physical systems where pairs of oscillators are coupled together. Perhaps the first to document these effects was Christiaan Huygens, the inventor of the pendulum clock, who was surprised to note that two pendulum clocks which normally would keep slightly different time nonetheless became perfectly synchronized when hung from ...

  4. Poincaré–Lindstedt method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré–Lindstedt_method

    See chapter 10 of [5] for a derivation up to order 3, and [8] for a computer derivation up to order 164. Consider the van der Pol oscillator with equation ¨ + ˙ + = where is a small positive number. Perform substitution to the second order:

  5. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    Phase portrait of damped oscillator, with increasing damping strength. All real-world oscillator systems are thermodynamically irreversible. This means there are dissipative processes such as friction or electrical resistance which continually convert some of the energy stored in the oscillator into heat in the environment. This is called damping.

  6. Electronic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator

    Simple relaxation oscillator made by feeding back an inverting Schmitt trigger's output voltage through a RC network to its input.. An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current (AC) signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, [1] [2] [3] powered by a direct current (DC) source.

  7. Econophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econophysics

    Econophysics is a non-orthodox (in economics) interdisciplinary research field, applying theories and methods originally developed by physicists in order to solve problems in economics, usually those including uncertainty or stochastic processes and nonlinear dynamics.

  8. Self-oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-oscillation

    The oscillator V produces a feedback signal B. The controller at R uses this signal to modulate the external power S that acts on the oscillator. If the power is modulated in phase with the oscillator's velocity, a negative damping is established and the oscillation grows until limited by nonlinearities.

  9. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    Diagram of the relationship between the different types of frequency and other wave properties. In this diagram, x is the input to the function represented by the arrow. Rotational frequency , usually denoted by the Greek letter ν (nu), is defined as the instantaneous rate of change of the number of rotations , N , with respect to time: ν = d ...
