Waves phases

Since Q is negative, and //ab,cl for tbe ground state must be a negative sign, it follows that the ground state for the odd parity case is the in-phase combination, while for the even parity case, the out-of-phase wave function is the ground state. 

Figure 12.2 Sine wave representation of electromagnetic radiation. It consists of two in-phase waves, with oscillation of the electric field in the xy plane, and the magnetic field perpendicular to it, in the vz plane.

Fig. 120. Weakening of reflection by out-of-phase waves diffracted by outer regions of atoms.

If the waves are represented graphically as in Fig. 122 c, the resultant amplitude (shown by the thicker line) is obtained by adding the ordinates. It is evident that for this particular reflection the partly -out-of-phase waves do not diminish the intensity much, because there...

Atomic and sub-atomic particles behave fundamentally different from macroscopic objects because of quantum effects. The more closely an atom is confined the more classical its behaviour. (Compare 5.2.1). Mathematically, the boundary condition on the particle wave function ip —> 0 as r —> oo, is replaced by limr >ro xp — 0, where r0 oo. It means that the influence of the free particle has a much longer reach through its wave function than a particle confined to a bulk phase. Wave-mechanically, the wavelength of the particle increases and approaches infinity for a completely localized, or classical particle. Electrons and atoms in condensed phases, where their motion is... 

Since the distance traveled after reflection depends on the distance between the atoms, the diffraction pattern can be used to determine the interatomic spacings. The exact relationship can be formulated using the diagram in Fig. 16.11 on page 774, which shows two in-phase waves being reflected by atoms in two different layers of a crystal. The extra distance traveled by...

Figure 2.21. The two limiting cases of the interaction between two waves with parallel propagation vectors (k) the constructive interference of two in-phase waves resulting in a new wave with double the amplitude (top), and the destructive interference of two completely out-of-phase waves in which the resultant wave has zero amplitude, i.e. the two waves extinguish one another (bottom).

Figure 8.3 Experimental synchronization patterns in the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in a cellular flow. The horizontal direction is along an annulus, so that there are periodic boundary conditions at the ends of the images, (a) Phase waves, (b) Co-rotating synchronization. (c) Global synchronization. From Paoletti et al. (2006).

Figure L Control of the spiral shape in the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. Ru(bpy)3 was used as catalyst. Ar laser beam was irradiated (illustrated by white arrow) at the core of the rotating spiral to increase the size of the core region. The morphology of spiral changed reversibly from Archimedean to logarithmic, and the wave profile from trigger-wave to phase-wave. Controlling global structure by local control of singular region is characteristic in dissipative structures.
