  2. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    In fact, correct capturing and detection of shock waves are important since shock waves have the following influences: (1) causing loss of total pressure, which may be a concern related to scramjet engine performance, (2) providing lift for wave-rider configuration, as the oblique shock wave at lower surface of the vehicle can produce high ...

  3. Atmospheric focusing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_focusing

    The shock wave is impacted by what the meteor is made of, temperature, and pressure. [1] Because the meteors need to have a large size and mass, there is only a small percentage of meteors that can create these shock waves. [2] Radar and Infrasonic methodologies are able to detect meteor shock waves. These tools are used to study these shock ...

    Another way in which the shadows of blood vessels may be seen is by holding a bright light against the eyelid at the corner of the eye. The light penetrates the eye and casts a shadow on the blood vessels as described previously. The light must be jiggled to defeat adaptation.

  5. Schlieren photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren_photography

    Shock waves produced by a T-38 Talon during flight using analog background-oriented schlieren. Background-oriented schlieren technique (BOS [7]) relies on measuring or visualizing shifts in focused images. In these techniques, the background and the schlieren object (the distortion to be visualized) are both in focus and the distortion is ...

  6. Human echolocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation

    Vision and hearing are akin in that each entails detection of reflected waves of energy. Vision processes light waves that travel from their source, bounce off surfaces throughout the environment and enter the eyes. Similarly, the auditory system processes sound waves as they travel from their source, bounce off surfaces and enter the ears.

    The bird flu outbreak has taken concerning turns, with more than 60 human cases confirmed. Experts outlined four signs that the virus is going in the wrong direction.

  9. Kelvin wake pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wake_pattern

    Other waves with phase speeds at or below v, however, are amplified through constructive interference and form visible shock waves, stationary in position w.r.t. the boat. Typical duck wake. The angle θ between the phase shock wave front and the path of the object is θ = arcsin(c/v).
