medium wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a radio wave with a wavelength between 100 and 1000 meters (a frequency between 300 kilohertz and 3000 kilohertz)
rolling wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a long heavy sea wave as it advances towards the shore
long wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a radio wave with a wavelength longer than a kilometer (a frequency below 300 kilohertz)
permanent wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a series of waves in the hair made by applying heat and chemicals
new wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ any creative group active in the innovation and application of new concepts and techniques in a given field (especially in the arts)
New Wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ an art movement in French cinema in the 1960s
sky wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a radio wave that is reflected back to earth by the ionosphere or a communications satellite; permits transmission around the curve of the earth's surface
shock wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a region of high pressure travelling through a gas at a high velocity; "the explosion created a shock wave"
ionospheric wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a sky wave that is reflected by the ionosphere
standing wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a wave (as a sound wave in a chamber or an electromagnetic wave in a transmission line) in which the ratio of its instantaneous amplitude at one point to that at any other point does not vary with time
stationary wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a wave (as a sound wave in a chamber or an electromagnetic wave in a transmission line) in which the ratio of its instantaneous amplitude at one point to that at any other point does not vary with time
solitary wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ (physics) a quantum of energy or quasiparticle that can be propagated as a traveling wave in nonlinear systems and is neither preceded nor followed by another such disturbance; does not obey the superposition principle and does not dissipate; "soliton waves can travel long distances with little loss of energy or structure"
sound wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ (acoustics) a wave that transmits sound
soliton wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ (physics) a quantum of energy or quasiparticle that can be propagated as a traveling wave in nonlinear systems and is neither preceded nor followed by another such disturbance; does not obey the superposition principle and does not dissipate; "soliton waves can travel long distances with little loss of energy or structure"
theta wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ the normal brainwave in the encephalogram of a person who is awake but relaxed and drowsy; occurs with low frequency and low amplitude
tidal wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a wave resulting from the periodic flow of the tides that is caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun
tidal wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ an unusual (and often destructive) rise of water along the seashore caused by a storm or a combination of wind and high tide
tidal wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ an overwhelming manifestation of some emotion or phenomenon; "a tidal wave of nausea"; "the flood of letters hit him with the force of a tidal wave"; "a tidal wave of crime"
traveling wave
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a wave in which the medium moves in the direction of propagation of the wave
