Wave — A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy. While a mechanical wave exists in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces), waves of electromagnetic… … Wikipedia
Wave shoaling — In fluid dynamics, wave shoaling is the phenomenon that surface waves on a water layer of decreasing depth change their wave height (which is about twice the amplitude). It is caused by the fact that the group velocity, which is also the wave… … Wikipedia
wave shoaling — noun The effect on a wave, in a body of water, of increasing wave height with decreasing water depth. Particularly noticeable at the sea shore … Wiktionary
Wind wave — Ocean wave redirects here. For the film, see Ocean Waves (film). North Pacific storm waves as seen from the NOAA M/V Noble Star, Winter 1989 … Wikipedia
Ocean surface wave — Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur on the free surface of the ocean. They usually result from wind, and are also referred to as wind waves. Some waves can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. They range in size from small … Wikipedia
Wind wave model — NOAA Wavewatch III 120 hour Forecast for the North Atlantic In fluid dynamics, wind wave modeling describes the effort to depict the sea state and predict the evolution of the energy of wind waves using numerical techniques. These simulations… … Wikipedia
New Wave music in Yugoslavia — New Wave in Yugoslavia (Bosnian, Croatian and Slovene: Novi val; Serbian: Нови талас, Novi talas/Novi talas; Macedonian: Нов бран, transl.: Nov bran; all meaning New wave ) was the New Wave music scene of the Socialist Federal Republic of… … Wikipedia
Interference (wave propagation) — Two point interference in a ripple tank. In physics, interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superpose each other to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are… … Wikipedia
capillary wave — ▪ oceanography small, free, surface water wave with such a short wavelength that its restoring force is the water s surface tension, which causes the wave to have a rounded crest and a V shaped trough. The maximum wavelength of a capillary… … Universalium
Maass wave form — In mathematics, a Maass wave form is a function on the upper half plane that transforms like a modular form but need not be holomorphic. They were first studied by Maass harv|Maass|1949.DefinitionA Maass wave form is defined to be a continuous… … Wikipedia
