  2. Standing wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave

    In this case, both ends will be pressure anti-nodes or equivalently both ends will be displacement nodes. This example is analogous to the case where both ends are open, except the standing wave pattern has a π ⁄ 2 phase shift along the x-direction to shift the location of the nodes and anti-nodes. For example, the longest wavelength that ...

  3. Standing wave ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave_ratio

    The term power standing wave ratio (PSWR) is sometimes referred to, and defined as, the square of the voltage standing wave ratio. The term is widely cited as "misleading". [11] The expression "power standing-wave ratio", which may sometimes be encountered, is even more misleading, for the power distribution along a loss-free line is constant. ...

  4. Longitudinal mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_mode

    A longitudinal mode of a resonant cavity is a particular standing wave pattern formed by waves confined in the cavity. The longitudinal modes correspond to the wavelengths of the wave which are reinforced by constructive interference after many reflections from the cavity's reflecting surfaces. All other wavelengths are suppressed by ...

  5. Clapotis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clapotis

    Incoming wave (red) reflected at the wall produces the outgoing wave (blue), both being overlaid resulting in the clapotis (black). In hydrodynamics, a clapotis (from French for "lapping of water") is a non-breaking standing wave pattern, caused for example, by the reflection of a traveling surface wave train from a near vertical shoreline like a breakwater, seawall or steep cliff.

  6. Vibrations of a circular membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrations_of_a_circular...

    Due to the phenomenon of resonance, at certain vibration frequencies, its resonant frequencies, the membrane can store vibrational energy, the surface moving in a characteristic pattern of standing waves. This is called a normal mode.

  7. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    The red dots represent the wave nodes. A standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave whose envelope remains in a constant position. This phenomenon arises as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The sum of two counter-propagating waves (of equal amplitude and frequency) creates a standing ...

  8. Shock diamond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_diamond

    Shock diamonds are the bright areas seen in the exhaust of this statically mounted Pratt & Whitney J58 engine on full afterburner.. Shock diamonds (also known as Mach diamonds or thrust diamonds, and less commonly Mach disks) are a formation of standing wave patterns that appear in the supersonic exhaust plume of an aerospace propulsion system, such as a supersonic jet engine, rocket, ramjet ...

  9. Faraday wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_wave

    Faraday waves observed in water in a Petri dish, vibrated at a frequency of about 50 hertz. Faraday waves in a singing bowl. Faraday waves, also known as Faraday ripples, named after Michael Faraday (1791–1867), are nonlinear standing waves that appear on liquids enclosed by a vibrating receptacle. When the vibration frequency exceeds a ...
