  2. Noise calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_calculation

    to calculate a current situation based on existing physics, mostly when a physical measurement at a location is impractical; to predict the resulting immission levels based on a planned change, e.g. set up of a new machine; Mostly, noise calculation is part of any such planning process and may become part of the decision process for physical change

  3. Surface acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_acoustic_wave

    Experimental image of surface acoustic waves on a crystal of tellurium oxide [1]. A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an acoustic wave traveling along the surface of a material exhibiting elasticity, with an amplitude that typically decays exponentially with depth into the material, such that they are confined to a depth of about one wavelength.

  4. Ray transfer matrix analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_transfer_matrix_analysis

    A light ray enters a component crossing its input plane at a distance x 1 from the optical axis, traveling in a direction that makes an angle θ 1 with the optical axis. After propagation to the output plane that ray is found at a distance x 2 from the optical axis and at an angle θ 2 with respect to it.

  5. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    Below is a detailed modern description of the experimental procedure: [3] [4] [6] [9] [11] The experiment uses a conductive metal container A open at the top, insulated from the ground.

  6. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    (The distance can be measured by taking the absolute value of the function.) The three green lines represent the values for acceleration at different points along the curve. The expressions given above apply only when the rate of change is constant or when only the average rate of change is required.

  7. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. [1] In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. [2]

  8. Linear response function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_response_function

    Because of its many applications in information theory, physics and engineering there exist alternative names for specific linear response functions such as susceptibility, impulse response or impedance; see also transfer function. The concept of a Green's function or fundamental solution of an ordinary differential equation is closely related.

  9. Experimental uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_uncertainty...

    For example, an experimental uncertainty analysis of an undergraduate physics lab experiment in which a pendulum can estimate the value of the local gravitational acceleration constant g. The relevant equation [ 1 ] for an idealized simple pendulum is, approximately,
