Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...

Six numerical models: (l)RCPWAVE, (2)Ref/Dif-1, (3)RDE, (4)PBCG, (5)PMH, and (6)MIKE 21's EMS module, were examined for their performance on the simulation of water wave shoaling, refraction, and ...

When people look into a mirror, they see an image of themselves behind the glass. That image results from light rays encountering the shiny surface and bouncing back, or reflecting, providing a ...

Students use mirror equations to determine the position and type. Students use mirror equations to determine the position, type, and size of mirror images for curved mirrors mathematically. Optical ...

A new directional wave height spectral model for simulating combined wave refraction and diffraction in coastal regions is developed in this study. Besides the wave refraction, which has been ...

At the interface between two facets of an artificial crystal, sound waves can be transmitted in the opposite direction to that expected, and undergo no reflection. Such wave behaviour could have many ...

Light scattering as the basis for size determination of many objects has been explored for a long time. It was Gustav Mie, author of the Mie Scattering Theory, who studied gold nanoparticles in ...
