There are many glorious science-based terms when it comes to surfing. We all talk about swells, of course, the underwater energy that creates a breaking wave. But we'll look at swell angles and ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different rules of ...

Wave nature of light, mathematics of wave motion, electro-magnetic theory of light propagation, reflection and refraction, Fresnel coefficients, polarization, interference, Young's experiment, fringe ...

Refraction is described and students learn to draw diagrams of refracted waves. Refraction is described and students learn to draw diagrams of refracted waves. They also learn to describe diffraction ...

Simple sinusoidal wave refraction on a crescentic bar off the Aquitaine coast has been studied. In the case of parallel waves to the coast, this bar, composed of a cyclical repetition of troughs ...

The refraction of acoustic duct waveguide modes emitted from the open end of a semi-infinite rectangular duct by a jet-like exhaust flow is studied theoretically.The problem is formulated as a ...
