  2. Schumann resonances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances

    The global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952. Schumann resonances are the principal background in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum [2] from 3 Hz through 60 Hz [3] and appear as distinct peaks at extremely low frequencies around 7.83 Hz (fundamental), 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.

  3. Extremely low frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency

    The fundamental Schumann resonance is at approximately 7.83 Hz, the frequency at which the wavelength equals the circumference of the Earth, and higher harmonics occur at 14.1, 20.3, 26.4, and 32.4 Hz, etc. Lightning strikes excite these resonances, causing the Earth–ionosphere cavity to "ring" like a bell, resulting in a peak in the noise ...

  4. Atmospheric electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_electricity

    The Schumann resonances are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonance is due to the space between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere acting as a waveguide. The limited dimensions of the earth cause this waveguide to act as a resonant ...

  5. Winfried Otto Schumann - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winfried_Otto_Schumann

    Winfried Otto Schumann (May 20, 1888 – September 22, 1974) was a German physicist and electrical engineer who predicted the Schumann resonances, a series of low-frequency resonances caused by lightning discharges in the atmosphere.

  6. Bioelectromagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectromagnetics

    Bioelectromagnetics, also known as bioelectromagnetism, is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological entities. Areas of study include electromagnetic fields produced by living cells, tissues or organisms, the effects of man-made sources of electromagnetic fields like mobile phones, and the application of electromagnetic radiation toward therapies for the ...

  7. Magic angle spinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_angle_spinning

    In addition, a set of spinning sidebands appear on the spectra, which are sharp lines separated from the isotropic resonance frequency by a multiple of the spinning rate. The chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) represents the orientation-dependence of the chemical shift.

  8. History of spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_spectroscopy

    During the early 1800s, Joseph von Fraunhofer conducted experiments with dispersive spectrometers that enabled spectroscopy to become a more precise and quantitative scientific technique. Since then, spectroscopy has played and continues to play a significant role in chemistry , physics and astronomy .

  9. Vibration theory of olfaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_theory_of_olfaction

    The vibration theory of smell proposes that a molecule's smell character is due to its vibrational frequency in the infrared range. This controversial theory is an alternative to the more widely accepted docking theory of olfaction (formerly termed the shape theory of olfaction), which proposes that a molecule's smell character is due to a range of weak non-covalent interactions between its ...
