  1. Wavelength - Wikipedia

    The wavelength λ of a sinusoidal waveform traveling at constant speed is given by [7] where is called the phase speed (magnitude of the phase velocity) of the wave and is the wave's frequency. In a …

  2. Wave vector - Wikipedia

    Wavelength of a sine wave, λ, can be measured between any two consecutive points with the same phase, such as between adjacent crests, or troughs, or adjacent zero crossings with the same …

  3. Amplitude - Wikipedia

    The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change in a single period (such as time or spatial period). The amplitude of a non-periodic signal is its magnitude compared with a reference value. …

  4. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    The speed of a plane wave, , is a function of the wave's wavelength : The wave's speed, wavelength, and frequency, f, are related by the identity The function expresses the dispersion relation of the …

  5. Matter wave - Wikipedia

    The de Broglie wavelength is the wavelength, λ, associated with a particle with momentum p through the Planck constant, h: Wave-like behavior of matter has been experimentally demonstrated, first for …

  6. Electromagnetic wave equation - Wikipedia

    k = (kx, ky, kz) is the wave vector (in radians per meter), and ϕ 0 {\displaystyle \phi _ {0}} is the phase angle (in radians). The wave vector is related to the angular frequency by where k is the …

  7. Propagation constant - Wikipedia

    Propagation constant The propagation constant of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is a measure of the change undergone by the amplitude and phase of the wave as it propagates in a given direction. …

  8. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    A diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum, showing various properties across the range of frequencies and wavelengths The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, …
