  2. Time-of-flight diffraction ultrasonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-flight_diffraction...

    Time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) method of ultrasonic testing is a sensitive and accurate method for the nondestructive testing of welds for defects. TOFD originated from tip diffraction techniques which were first published by Silk and Liddington [1] in 1975 which paved the way for TOFD. Later works on this technique are given in a number of ...

  3. Time of flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_flight

    Time of flight (ToF) is the measurement of the time taken by an object, particle or wave (be it acoustic, electromagnetic, etc.) to travel a distance through a medium. This information can then be used to measure velocity or path length, or as a way to learn about the particle or medium's properties (such as composition or flow rate).

  4. Time-of-flight detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-flight_detector

    A time-of-flight (TOF) detector is a particle detector which can discriminate between a lighter and a heavier elementary particle of same momentum using their time of flight between two scintillators [1]. The first of the scintillators activates a clock upon being hit while the other stops the clock upon being hit.

  5. Neutron scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_scattering

    In the time-of-flight technique, neutrons are sent through a sequence of two rotating slits such that only neutrons of a particular velocity are selected. Spallation sources have been developed that can create a rapid pulse of neutrons. The pulse contains neutrons of many different velocities or de Broglie wavelengths, but separate velocities ...

  6. Physical optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_optics

    Physical optics is used to explain effects such as diffraction. In physics, physical optics, or wave optics, is the branch of optics that studies interference, diffraction, polarization, and other phenomena for which the ray approximation of geometric optics is not valid.

  7. Time of arrival - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_arrival

    The peak at time = 5 is a measure of the time shift between the recorded waveforms, which is also the value needed for equation 3. Figure 4b shows the same type of simulation for a wide-band waveform from the emitter. The time shift is 5 time units because the geometry and wave speed is the same as the Figure 4a example.

  8. AP Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Physics

    AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics 1 are both introductory college-level courses in mechanics, with the former recognized by more universities. [1] The AP Physics C: Mechanics exam includes a combination of conceptual questions, algebra-based questions, and calculus-based questions, while the AP Physics 1 exam includes only conceptual and algebra-based questions.

  9. Neutron time-of-flight scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_time-of-flight...

    In neutron time-of-flight scattering, a form of inelastic neutron scattering, the initial position and velocity of a pulse of neutrons are fixed, and their final position and the time after the pulse that the neutrons are detected are measured. By the principle of conservation of momentum, these pairs of coordinates may be transformed into ...
