A better understanding of the inner workings of neutron stars will lead to a greater knowledge of the dynamics that underpin the workings of the universe and also could help drive future technology. A ...

The classic signature of wave-particle duality in quantum particles is the wave-like interference pattern that is produced when a beam of particles passes through a ‘double-slit’. Researchers have ...

Unit 6 Segment A: The Nature of Waves The properties of waves are explored. Unit 6 Segment A: The Nature of Waves Properties of waves are introduced as we explore the wave velocity equation by finding ...

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 ...

Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Reflection is described at boundaries of ...
