  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    The dipoles do not cancel out, resulting in a net dipole. The dipole moment of water depends on its state. In the gas phase the dipole moment is ≈ 1.86 debye (D), [ 11 ] whereas liquid water (≈ 2.95 D) [ 12 ] and ice (≈ 3.09 D) [ 13 ] are higher due to differing hydrogen-bonded environments.

  3. Wave interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference

    Classically the two waves must have the same polarization to give rise to interference fringes since it is not possible for waves of different polarizations to cancel one another out or add together. Instead, when waves of different polarization are added together, they give rise to a wave of a different polarization state .

  4. Dipole speaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_speaker

    For this reason dipole speakers are often used as surround channel speakers, where a diffuse sound is desired to create ambience. A dipole speaker works by creating air movement (as sound pressure waves) directly from the front and back surfaces of the driver, rather than by impedance matching one or both outputs to the air. As a result ...

  5. Antiferroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiferroelectricity

    In an antiferroelectric, unlike a ferroelectric, the total, macroscopic spontaneous polarization is zero, since the adjacent dipoles cancel each other out. Antiferroelectricity is a property of a material, and it can appear or disappear (more generally, strengthen or weaken) depending on temperature, pressure, external electric field, growth ...

  6. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    The bent molecule H 2 O has a net dipole. The two bond dipoles do not cancel. The overall dipole moment of a molecule may be approximated as a vector sum of bond dipole moments. As a vector sum it depends on the relative orientation of the bonds, so that from the dipole moment information can be deduced about the molecular geometry.

    The measured sound field was clearly dipole-like (modified slightly by the plate presence). The lower figure on the right shows a number of turbulent sound spectra measured at various speeds. [26] The frequencies were Strouhal number scaled with U, and the sound levels were scaled with the dipole sound power rule of U 6 over a speed range of 3 ...

  9. Loudspeaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudspeaker

    These reflected sound waves, when added to the direct sound, cause cancellation and addition at assorted frequencies (e.g. from resonant room modes), thus changing the timbre and character of the sound at the listener's ears. The human brain is sensitive to small variations in reflected sound, and this is part of the reason why a loudspeaker ...
