WordDefinition
wavenounA moving disturbance in the level of a body of liquid; an undulation.
wavefunctionnoun(physics) A mathematical function that describes the propagation of the quantum mechanical wave associated with a particle (or system of particles), related to the probability of finding the particle in a particular region of space.
waveformnoun(physics, engineering) The shape of a physical wave, such as sound, electric current or electromagnetic radiation, or its representation obtained by plotting a characteristic of the phenomenon (such as voltage) versus another variable, often time.
wave field synthesisnounThe use of mathematics and a large number of loudspeakers to accurately reproduce a given field of sound.

wavepacketnoun(physics) Alternative spelling of wave packet. [(physics) a collection of waves, travelling together]
standing wavenoun(physics) A wave form which occurs in a limited, fixed medium in such a way that the reflected wave coincides with the produced wave. A common example is the vibration of the strings on a musical stringed instrument.
planewavenounAlternative form of plane wave. [(physics) A constant-frequency wave whose wavefronts are infinite parallel planes of constant peak-to-peak amplitude normal to the phase velocity vector.]
wavevectornounAlternative spelling of wave vector. [(physics, mathematics) A vector whose direction is that of the direction of propagation of a wave, and whose magnitude is inversely proportional to its wavelength]
travelling wavenoun(physics) A wave in which the vibration is in the direction of propagation; a longitudinal wave.
spatial wave functionnoun(physics) A separable wavefunction times e^(iEt/ hbar), which is thus a function of only space and not time.
carrier wavenoun(physics) A wave that can be modulated, either in amplitude, frequency, or phase, to carry or transmit images, music, speech, or other signals.
