  4. List of equations in wave theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in_wave...

    1-dimensional corollaries for two sinusoidal waves The following may be deduced by applying the principle of superposition to two sinusoidal waves, using trigonometric identities. The angle addition and sum-to-product trigonometric formulae are useful; in more advanced work complex numbers and fourier series and transforms are used.

  5. Acoustic wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave_equation

    The wave equation describing a standing wave field in one dimension (position ) is p x x − 1 c 2 p t t = 0 , {\displaystyle p_{xx}-{\frac {1}{c^{2}}}p_{tt}=0,} where p {\displaystyle p} is the acoustic pressure (the local deviation from the ambient pressure) and c {\displaystyle c} the speed of sound , using subscript notation for the partial ...

  6. One-way wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_wave_equation

    The one-way equation and solution in the three-dimensional case was assumed to be similar way as for the one-dimensional case by a mathematical decomposition (factorization) of a 2nd order differential equation. [15] In fact, the 3D One-way wave equation can be derived from first principles: a) derivation from impedance theorem [3] and b ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Alembert's_formula

    The only difference between a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous (partial) differential equation is that in the homogeneous form we only allow 0 to stand on the right side ((,) =), while the inhomogeneous one is much more general, as in (,) could be any function as long as it's continuous and can be continuously differentiated twice.

  9. Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation

    The Klein–Gordon equation, + =, was the first such equation to be obtained, even before the nonrelativistic one-particle Schrödinger equation, and applies to massive spinless particles. Historically, Dirac obtained the Dirac equation by seeking a differential equation that would be first-order in both time and space, a desirable property for ...
