spherical wave

The figure to the right shows interference between two spherical waves.

Such a source of uniform spherical waves is shown in the figure below.

These represent a superposition of spherical waves travelling from the future into the present.

It can be seen that every node turns into a secondary source of spherical wave.

This corresponds to an outgoing and an incoming spherical wave.

Bateman called the elements of this group spherical wave transformations.

It is an extension, or a more physical next-step, to spherical wave radiation.

A light signal is emitted from the common origin and travels as a spherical wave front.

The manager disintegrated in a spherical wave of gore that splattered across the room.

The integral modulates the amplitude and phase of the spherical wave.

In a homogeneous medium, a point source emits light with spherical wave fronts.

Two main classes of solutions are known, namely plane waves and spherical waves.

The incident light is diffracted by the slits into uniform spherical waves.

To gain a better understanding of the nature of these spherical waves, let us go back and look at the case when .

Therefore, we can generate a great variety of solutions by translating and summing spherical waves.

They called a generic expression of conformal symmetry a spherical wave transformation.

The signals spread out from the Earth in spherical waves, a little like ripples in a pond.

A point source produces a spherical wave.

In the figure above, illustrating the truncation of the incident spherical wave by the lens, we may note one very significant fact.

When applied to electrodynamics it is related to the conformal group of spherical wave transformations.

The amplitude of a spherical wave will fall off as the inverse of the distance from the source.

Note that the term "far field" usually means we're talking about a converging or diverging spherical wave with a pretty well defined phase center.

Waves propagate in all directions in open space as spherical waves.

Each atom re-radiates a small portion of an incoming beam's intensity as a spherical wave.

"It is difficult to picture how it is that an outgoing spherical wave can produce a straight line," he argued.
