    A wave diffraction diagram is a graphical representation of how waves bend or spread out when they encounter an obstacle or pass through an opening. It shows the pattern of the resulting wave after it interacts with the obstacle or opening. 2. What causes wave diffraction? Wave diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle or opening ...

  3. What is k in E-k Diagrams of Semiconductors? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-is-k-in-e-k-diagrams-of-semiconductors.547518

    In the case of an E-k diagram, k corresponds to the wave vector of the electronic wave function. You can create a wave-packet by adding a number of waves with different wave vector. In this case, the wave packet will move through the crystal with a velocity given by the group velocity, which is proportional to the slope in the E-k diagram.

  4. Derive wave spectrum from scatter diagram - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/derive-wave-spectrum-from-scatter-diagram.463404

    A wave spectrum can be derived from a scatter diagram by analyzing the amplitude and frequency of the data points. The shape of a wave spectrum can be affected by factors such as wind speed, wind direction, water depth, and coastline shape. Deriving a wave spectrum is important for various industries and for predicting and preparing for severe ...

    Jan 20, 2023. Phase Standing wave Standing waves Wave. In summary, the conversation discusses the phase differences between points P, Q, and R in a standing wave. The points P and R are pi radians out of phase, reaching their max/min at the same time. Antiphase is a phase difference that is an odd-integer multiple of pi (180 degrees).

    The diagram represents a snapshot of a standing transverse wave on a flexible guitar string taken when the displacement is at a maximum. (Note: the vertical scale is very exaggerated, the actual sideways displacement of the string is negligibly TINY compared to the length of the string!) The string is 1.30 m long with tension 12 N.
