  2. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    The net electric current I is the surface integral of the electric current density J passing through Σ: =, where dS denotes the differential vector element of surface area S, normal to surface Σ. (Vector area is sometimes denoted by A rather than S , but this conflicts with the notation for magnetic vector potential ).

    Position of a point in space, not necessarily a point on the wave profile or any line of propagation d, r: m [L] Wave profile displacement Along propagation direction, distance travelled (path length) by one wave from the source point r 0 to any point in space d (for longitudinal or transverse waves) L, d, r

  4. Sommerfeld radiation condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommerfeld_radiation_condition

    It was introduced by Arnold Sommerfeld in 1912 [1] and is closely related to the limiting absorption principle (1905) and the limiting amplitude principle (1948). The boundary condition established by the principle essentially chooses a solution of some wave equations which only radiates outwards from known sources.

  5. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    Analogous to the wave function of a particle in a box, one finds that the fields are superpositions of periodic functions. The three wavelengths λ 1 , λ 2 , and λ 3 , in the three directions orthogonal to the walls can be: λ i = 2 L n i , {\displaystyle \lambda _{i}={\frac {2L}{n_{i}}},} where the n i are positive integers.

  6. Orbital state vectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_state_vectors

    Because even satellites in low Earth orbit experience significant perturbations from non-spherical Earth's figure, solar radiation pressure, lunar tide, and atmospheric drag, the Keplerian elements computed from the state vector at any moment are only valid for a short period of time and need to be recomputed often to determine a valid object ...

  7. Outgoing longwave radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outgoing_longwave_radiation

    Thus, any energy that enters a system but does not leave must be retained within the system. So, the amount of energy retained on Earth (in Earth's climate system) is governed by an equation: [change in Earth's energy] = [energy arriving] − [energy leaving]. Energy arrives in the form of absorbed solar radiation (ASR). Energy leaves as ...

  8. Limiting amplitude principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_amplitude_principle

    The choice is made by considering a particular time-dependent problem of the forced oscillations due to the action of a periodic force. The principle was introduced by Andrey Nikolayevich Tikhonov and Alexander Andreevich Samarskii. [1] It is closely related to the limiting absorption principle (1905) and the Sommerfeld radiation condition (1912).

  9. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

    The current and voltage along the element are sinusoidal waves. The current in the antenna element bounces back and forth between the ends, and the two equal but opposite current waves interfere to form a standing wave. [63] [64] The standing wave has a current node at its top and either a node or an antinode at bottom. Due to these end ...
