wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a movement like that of a sudden occurrence or increase in a specified phenomenon; "a wave of settlers"; "troops advancing in waves"
wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ the act of signaling by a movement of the hand
wave front
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ (physics) an imaginary surface joining all points in space that are reached at the same instant by a wave propagating through a medium
wave train
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a succession of waves spaced at regular intervals
wave mechanics
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ the modern form of quantum theory; an extension of quantum mechanics based on Schrodinger's equation; atomic events are explained as interactions between particle waves
wave-particle duality
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ (physics) the property of matter and electromagnetic radiation that is characterized by the fact that some properties can be explained best by wave theory and others by particle theory
wave equation
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a differential equation that describes the passage of harmonic waves through a medium
wave theory
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ (physics) the theory that light is transmitted as waves
wave front
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ all the points just reached by a wave as it propagates
wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ one of a series of ridges that moves across the surface of a liquid (especially across a large body of water)
