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)
Wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a member of the women's reserve of the United States Navy; originally organized during World War II but now no longer a separate branch
wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a persistent and widespread unusual weather condition (especially of unusual temperatures); "a heat wave"
wave guide
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a hollow metal conductor that provides a path to guide microwaves; used in radar
wave shape
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ the shape of a wave illustrated graphically by plotting the values of the period quantity against time
wave angle
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ the angle of arrival (or departure) of a radio wave with respect to the axis of an antenna array
wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a hairdo that creates undulations in the hair
wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ something that rises rapidly; "a wave of emotion swept over him"; "there was a sudden wave of buying before the market closed"; "a wave of conservatism in the country led by the hard right"
wave form
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ the shape of a wave illustrated graphically by plotting the values of the period quantity against time
wave number
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ the reciprocal of the wavelength of a wave
sine wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a wave whose waveform resembles a sine curve
short wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a radio wave with a wavelength less than 100 meters (a frequency greater than 3 megahertz)
wave
— Udsagnsord
– Engelsk
～ move or swing back and forth; "She waved her gun"
