The study of acoustic wave scattering and diffraction in waveguide structures lies at the forefront of both theoretical and applied acoustics. It encompasses the intricate processes by which sound ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- When trying to focus sound waves into as small an area as possible, scientists run into a fundamental limit called the diffraction limit. That is, when sound waves are focused into a ...

Waves of all types inevitably spread out while propagating, owing to diffraction. Under certain strict conditions, however, waves can be made to propagate without diffraction. Although this has been ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 209, No. 1096 (Oct. 8, 1951), pp. 81-96 (16 pages) The radio waves from 'radio stars' may suffer ...

Diffraction phenomena are of fundamental importance for the characterization and analysis of materials in industrial and scientific applications. Prominent examples include X-ray crystallography as ...

Google Earth provides a cornucopia of exotic images of our planet taken from above. For the most part, the focus of attention is on the land and the cities, roads and natural formations that it ...

sound waves cause air particles to vibrate back and forth ripples cause water particles to vibrate up and down Waves cause a disturbance of the medium through which they travel. This allows them to ...

As you know, Google Earth contains a staggering amount of high-resolution imagery. Thanks to this, it provides a great opportunity to study interesting things such as wave mechanics. Fabrizio ...
