Wavelength The distance

Wavelength the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. (12.1)... 

Wavelength The distance between two similar points, for example the crests of a cosine wave. 

Tsunamis are similar in structure to the waves generated by wind but differ dramatically in size. At the most, a wind driven wave has a wavelength, the distance from the top of one wave to the top of the next wave, of a few hundred yards. The wavelength of a tsunami can be more than 100 miles (160.9 km) long. 

Wave. A vibrating disturbance by which energy is transmitted. (7.1) Wavelength. The distance between identical points on successive waves. (7.1) Weak acids. Acids that ionize only to a limited extent in water. (15.4)... 

Wavelength - The distance between the peaks of any two consecutive waves. 

Electromagnetic radiation is often characterized by its wavelength—the distance between successive peaks in the wave. Radiation with wavelengths between 100 and 700 nanometers (3.94 X 10 and 2.76 X 10 inches) is termed ultraviolet-visible radiation. The transmittance (T) of a sample is the amount of light transmitted (P) by a sample divided by the amount of light transmitted by a blank (Pq)—T=P/Pq. The absorbance (A) of a solution is the negative logarithm of the transmittance— A=-LOG(T). The... 

Wave mechanical model a model for the hydrogen atom in which the electron is assumed to behave as a standing wave. (7.5) Wavelength the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. (7.1)... 

The wavelength is represented by X [6], which is the wavelength, the distance between two positions in the same phase and frequency (v) is the number of oscillations per unit time of the EM wave per sec or vibrations/unit time. The wavenumber is the number of waves/unit length [7]. It can be easily seen [3] that c is given by equation 1 ... 

Wavelength—The distance in the line of advance of a wave from any point to a like point on the next wave. Usually measured in angstroms, micrometers, macrometers, or nanometers. 

Wavelength The distance between successive crests or troughs of a light wave. 

Chromatie aberration manifests itself in two ways. Since the lens-maker s equation (2) depends on the index of refraction n, and n in turn depends on wavelength, the location of an image point depends on wavelength. The distance between a red image point and a blue image point is called longitudinal chromatic aberration and is one measure of chromatic aberration. Alternatively,... 

Guide wavelength The distance over which the fields of propagating modes repeat themselves in a waveguide. 

Wavelength The distance traveled by a radio frequency wavefront in one cycle. 

If the wavelength (the distance between the wave maxima or alternate nodes) is measured in centimeters, v is expressed in centimeters per second (cm/s). For radiation traveling in a vacuum, v becomes a constant, c (c 3 X 10 ° cm/s), for all wavelengths. When electromagnetic radiation traverses other media, however, the velocity changes. The ratio of the speed in a vacuum, c, to the matrix velocity, v, is termed the refractive index, n, of the material ... 

Velocity of sound Sound waves in air at normal temperatures and pressures (about 68°F [20°C] and 1 atmosphere pressure) travel at a velocity c that is approximately 1127 ft/s (344 m/s).The velocity of sound waves in air changes somewhat with temperature and pressure, but for most practical applications in plant engineering it can be considered a constant. Wavelength The distance that a sound wave travels in completing one cycle is the wavelength X and can be calculated at any frequency by ...
