    Square wave may refer to: Square wave (waveform) Cross seas, also known as square waves This page was last edited on 7 March 2025, at 07:57 (UTC). Text is ...

  3. Amplitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude

    For example, the average power transmitted by an acoustic or electromagnetic wave or by an electrical signal is proportional to the square of the RMS amplitude (and not, in general, to the square of the peak amplitude). [6] For alternating current electric power, the universal practice is to specify RMS values of a sinusoidal waveform.

  4. Square wave (waveform) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_wave_(waveform)

    A square wave is a non-sinusoidal periodic waveform in which the amplitude alternates at a steady frequency between fixed minimum and maximum values, with the same duration at minimum and maximum. In an ideal square wave, the transitions between minimum and maximum are instantaneous.

  5. Probability amplitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_amplitude

    The solid body shows the places where the electron's probability density is above a certain value (here 0.02 nm −3): this is calculated from the probability amplitude. The hue on the colored surface shows the complex phase of the wave function. In quantum mechanics, a probability amplitude is a complex number used for describing the behaviour ...

  6. Wave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function

    The wave function of an initially very localized free particle. In quantum physics, a wave function (or wavefunction) is a mathematical description of the quantum state of an isolated quantum system. The most common symbols for a wave function are the Greek letters ψ and Ψ (lower-case and capital psi, respectively).

  7. Transmission coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_coefficient

    Different fields of application have different definitions for the term. All the meanings are very similar in concept: In chemistry, the transmission coefficient refers to a chemical reaction overcoming a potential barrier; in optics and telecommunications it is the amplitude of a wave transmitted through a medium or conductor to that of the incident wave; in quantum mechanics it is used to ...

  8. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-phase_and_quadrature...

    The two amplitude-modulated sinusoids are known as the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, which describes their relationships with the amplitude- and phase-modulated carrier. [ A ] [ 2 ] Or in other words, it is possible to create an arbitrarily phase-shifted sine wave, by mixing together two sine waves that are 90° out of phase in ...

  9. Waveform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveform

    A sine, square, and sawtooth wave at 440 Hz A composite waveform that is shaped like a teardrop. A waveform generated by a synthesizer In electronics , acoustics , and related fields, the waveform of a signal is the shape of its graph as a function of time, independent of its time and magnitude scales and of any displacement in time.
