Difference between Plane wave and Velocity

Plane wave vs. Velocity

In the physics of wave propagation, a plane wave (also spelled planewave) is a wave whose wavefronts (surfaces of constant phase) are infinite parallel planes. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time.

Similarities between Plane wave and Velocity

Plane wave and Velocity have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Dot product, Euclidean vector, Group velocity, Phase velocity, Position (vector), Scalar (physics), Special relativity.

Dot product

In mathematics, the dot product or scalar productThe term scalar product is often also used more generally to mean a symmetric bilinear form, for example for a pseudo-Euclidean space.

Euclidean vector

In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector (sometimes called a geometric or spatial vector, or—as here—simply a vector) is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction.

Group velocity

The group velocity of a wave is the velocity with which the overall shape of the wave's amplitudes—known as the modulation or envelope of the wave—propagates through space.

Phase velocity

The phase velocity of a wave is the rate at which the phase of the wave propagates in space.

Position (vector)

In geometry, a position or position vector, also known as location vector or radius vector, is a Euclidean vector that represents the position of a point P in space in relation to an arbitrary reference origin O. Usually denoted x, r, or s, it corresponds to the straight-line from O to P. The term "position vector" is used mostly in the fields of differential geometry, mechanics and occasionally vector calculus.

Scalar (physics)

A scalar or scalar quantity in physics is a physical quantity that can be described by a single element of a number field such as a real number, often accompanied by units of measurement.

Special relativity

In physics, special relativity (SR, also known as the special theory of relativity or STR) is the generally accepted and experimentally well-confirmed physical theory regarding the relationship between space and time.

Plane wave and Velocity Comparison

Plane wave has 72 relations, while Velocity has 58. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 5.38% = 7 / (72 + 58).
