The common wave (Cabera exanthemata) is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in his 1763 Entomologia...

The common white wave (Cabera pusaria) is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition...

where the wave amplitude appears smaller or even zero. Waves are often described by a wave equation (standing wave field of two opposite waves) or a one-way...

Rogue waves (also known as freak waves, monster waves, episodic waves, killer waves, extreme waves, and abnormal waves) are unusually large and unpredictable...

wave function (or wavefunction) is a mathematical description of the quantum state of an isolated quantum system. The most common symbols for a wave function...

close finger wave, arm wave, and the "Miss America" wave. People wave by raising their hand and moving it from side to side. Another common wave is to raise...

with late 1970s punk and continued into the early 1980s. The common characteristics of new wave music include a humorous or quirky pop approach, angular guitar...

the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The most common cause...

surface tension. Capillary waves are common in nature, and are often referred to as ripples. The wavelength of capillary waves on water is typically less...

to refer to the angular wave vector simply as the wave vector, in contrast to, for example, crystallography. It is also common to use the symbol k for...

alters the polarization state of a light wave travelling through it. Two common types of waveplates are the half-wave plate, which rotates the polarization...

no wave scene represented "New York's last stylistically cohesive avant-rock movement". There were, however, some elements common to most no-wave music...

longitudinal waves, and surface waves. Some of the most common examples of mechanical waves are water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. Like all waves, mechanical...

A waveguide is a structure that guides waves by restricting the transmission of energy to one direction. Common types of waveguides include acoustic waveguides...

physics, a surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media. A common example is gravity waves along the surface...

always present on larger lakes. They are usually unnoticeable among the common wave patterns, except during periods of unusual calm. Harbours, bays, and...

is a property of transverse waves which specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation...

The wave equation is a second-order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves or standing wave fields such as mechanical waves (e...

significant wave height (SWH, HTSGW or Hs) is defined traditionally as the mean wave height (trough to crest) of the highest third of the waves (H1/3). It...

sneaker wave, also known as a sleeper wave, or in Australia as a king wave, is a disproportionately large coastal wave that can sometimes appear in a wave train...
