  2. Transverse wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_wave

    Propagation of a transverse spherical wave in a 2d grid (empirical model) In physics, a transverse wave is a wave that oscillates perpendicularly to the direction of the wave's advance. In contrast, a longitudinal wave travels in the direction of its oscillations. All waves move energy from place to place without transporting the matter in the ...

  3. Transverse mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_mode

    A transverse mode of electromagnetic radiation is a particular electromagnetic field pattern of the radiation in the plane perpendicular (i.e., transverse) to the radiation's propagation direction. Transverse modes occur in radio waves and microwaves confined to a waveguide, and also in light waves in an optical fiber and in a laser 's optical ...

  4. Transverse-field Ising model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse-field_Ising_model

    The transverse field Ising model is a quantum version of the classical Ising model.It features a lattice with nearest neighbour interactions determined by the alignment or anti-alignment of spin projections along the axis, as well as an external magnetic field perpendicular to the axis (without loss of generality, along the axis) which creates an energetic bias for one x-axis spin direction ...

  5. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)

    Polarization (also polarisation) is a property of transverse waves which specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. [1][2][3][4][5] In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. [4] A simple example of a polarized transverse wave is vibrations traveling along a ...

  6. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    Wave. Surface waves in water showing water ripples. In physics, mathematics, engineering, and related fields, a wave is a propagating dynamic disturbance (change from equilibrium) of one or more quantities. Periodic waves oscillate repeatedly about an equilibrium (resting) value at some frequency. When the entire waveform moves in one direction ...

  7. Mode (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(electromagnetism)

    Mode (electromagnetism) The mode of electromagnetic systems describes the field pattern of the propagating waves. [1]: 369. Some of the classifications of electromagnetic modes include; Modes in waveguides and transmission lines. These modes are analogous to the normal modes of vibration in mechanical systems. [2]: A.4. Transverse modes, modes ...

  8. Ising model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ising_model

    However, depending on the direction of the magnetic field, we can create a transverse-field or longitudinal-field Hamiltonian. The transverse-field Hamiltonian is given by = =, …, +. The transverse-field model experiences a phase transition between an ordered and disordered regime at J ~ h. This can be shown by a mapping of Pauli matrices

  9. Solenoidal vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoidal_vector_field

    Solenoidal vector field. In vector calculus a solenoidal vector field (also known as an incompressible vector field, a divergence-free vector field, or a transverse vector field) is a vector field v with divergence zero at all points in the field: A common way of expressing this property is to say that the field has no sources or sinks.
