wavelengths

Definition von wavelengths im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch: plural of wavelength
wavelength: The distance between two adjacent crests of a wave motion For electromagnetic radiation, the product of frequency and wavelength is equal to the speed of light
wavelength: The distance between successive wave crests or other equivalent points in a harmonic wave
wavelength: The distance between two identical points on a waveform i e one cycle of the waveform, or the spatial distance between two identical points of an electromagnetic or sound pressure wave which have the same phase In high frequency waves, there are more cycles in a given unit of time than there are in low frequency waves, this means they are closer together and consequently the wavelength of a high frequency is shorter than that of a low frequency The wavelength of an given frequency can be determined by dividing the speed of propagation of the wave by its frequency For electromagnetic waves this is c/f, where c is the velocity of light and f is frequency, this gives a result in metres For sound pressure waves it is approximately 334 m/s divided by the frequency in Hz, so that audio frequencies have wavelengths in the range from 16 metres to 1 6 centimetres
wavelength: the distance between adjacent peaks in a series of periodic waves Also see electromagnetic spectrum
wavelength: The distance between successive peaks or troughs of a wave Wavelengths are equal to the speed of the wave divided by its frequency
wavelength: The wavelength of a wave pattern is the distance from one wave crest to the next one All things that vary periodically have a wavelength associated with them, including light and other electromagnetic radiation, sound, AC electricity, spectral lines, and water waves
wavelength: If two people are on the same wavelength, they find it easy to understand each other and they tend to agree, because they share similar interests or opinions. It's great to work with people who are on the same wavelength. Distance between corresponding points of two consecutive waves. "Corresponding points" refers to two points or particles that have completed identical fractions of their periodic motion. In transverse waves, wavelength is measured from crest to crest or from trough to trough. In longitudinal waves, it is measured from compression to compression or from rarefaction to rarefaction. Wavelength, , is equal to the speed v of a wave in a medium divided by its frequency f, or = v/f
wavelength: Straight-line distance between two successive wave crests
wavelength: The distance between successive peaks or nodes of a wave
wavelength: A wavelength is the distance between a part of a wave of energy such as light or sound and the next similar part. Sunlight consists of different wavelengths of radiation
wavelength: The distance between two corresponding points in a sound or electromagnetic wave
wavelength: the distance (measured in the direction of propagation) between two points in the same phase in consecutive cycles of a wave
wavelength: The distance between two successive peaks or troughs of a wave; for light, this uniquely specifies the energy and frequency of the light
wavelength: The distance between to successive peaks of a periodic wave Wavelength is typically denoted by the Greek letter lambda
wavelength: The distance, especially on an electromagnetic wave, that a wave travels in the time it takes to oscillate through a complete cycle Wavelengths of visible light are measured in nanometers or microns
wavelength: –The distance between successive peaks or troughs of a wave Smaller wavelengths correspond to higher energies Department of Physics and Astronomy East Lansing, MI, USA Last updated May 12, 1999 by David McCreery
wavelength: The distance between successive points of equal amplitude and phase on a wave (for example, crest to crest or trough to trough)
wavelength: The distance between two similar points of a given wave Wavelengths of light are measured in nanometers (1 nm = 1 billionth of a meter)
wavelength: The distance between repeating points on a wave
wavelength: The length of a single cycle of a wave, as measured by the distance between one peak or trough of a wave and the next; it is often designated in physics as λ, and corresponds to the velocity of the wave divided by its frequency
wavelength: the distance (measured in the direction of propagation) between two points in the same phase in consecutive cycles of a wave a shared orientation leading to mutual understanding; "they are on the same wavelength
wavelength: {i} length of a wave (Physics, Electronics)
wavelength: The distance between consecutive crests of a wave This serves as a unit of measure of electromagnetic radiation
wavelength: A wavelength is the size of radio wave which a particular radio station uses to broadcast its programmes. She found the wavelength of their broadcasts, and left the radio tuned to their station
wavelength: the distance between adjacent peaks or troughs of a wave Wavelengths of light are typically expressed in terms of Angstroms or nanometers (10-9 meters)
wavelength: the distance between two successive maxima or minima of a wave
wavelength: the distance, measured in the direction of propagation of a wave, between two successive points in the wave that are characterized by the same phase of oscillation
wavelength: This is the distance between two successive peeks of a waveform For example waves in the sea may be spaced about 100m apart Their wavelength is therefore about 100m
wavelength: the distance between two successive peaks or troughs of a wave
wavelength: a shared orientation leading to mutual understanding; "they are on the same wavelength"
wavelength: The distance between successive crests, troughs, or identical parts of a wave
