The decomposition is propagated by a flame front ( deflagration ) which travels much more slowly through the explosive material than a shock wave of a high explosive.

If the ignition control receives this half wave signal from the flame sensor then combustion will continue.

A test target is vaporized and bursts into flame upon irradiation by a high power continuous wave carbon dioxide laser emitting tens of kilowatts of infrared light.

When using a splint, one must be careful to wave the splint through the flame rather than holding it in the flame for extended periods, to avoid setting the splint itself on fire.

This story describes the rippling outward of colonization, the first wave being loner, pioneer types, and the second, also Americans, being from the " cabbage tenements and subways " of New York.

One of the primary elements in house dancing is a technique that came from Chicago that involves moving the torso forward and backward in a rippling motion, as if a wave were passing through it.

Some of the main differences that ' new ' frame has compared to ' old ' frame are xiongyao zhedie ( chest and waist layered folding ), which is the coordinated opening and closing of back and chest along with a type of rippling wave ( folding ) running vertically up and down the dantian / waist area, connected to twisting of the waist / torso.

Such was the rigidity of the Suspension Bridge that it withstood the shockwave caused by the nearby fall of a mass of rock in 1863 ; the force of the impact manifested itself as a wave, rippling through the decks of the bridge from the American side to the Canadian side and back.

Jacking is a dance technique that comes from moving the torso forward and backward in a rippling motion, as if a wave were passing through it.

Pakistan was created in 1947 expressly as a Muslim state, but when the army took over eleven years later it did so on a wave of mass impatience which was directed in part against the inability of political and religious leaders to think their way through to the meaning of Islam for the modern political situation.

In 1529 a wave of iconoclasm swept through the area and wiped away much of the old religion.

These areas are eroded at a faster pace creating a hole or crevasse that, through time, by means of wave action and erosion, becomes a cave.

In the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, a wave of Chicano pop music surfaced through innovative musicians Johnny Rodriguez, Ritchie Valens and Linda Ronstadt.

During the 11th through 14th centuries, a wave of building of cathedrals and smaller parish churches occurred across Western Europe.

Many other shock-related changes take place within both impactor and target as the shock wave passes through, and some of these changes can be used as diagnostic tools to determine whether particular geological features were produced by impact cratering.

Similar effects occur when light waves travel through a medium with a varying refractive index or a sound wave through one with varying acoustic impedance.

The wave nature of light causes the light waves passing through the two slits to interfere, producing bright and dark bands on the screen — a result that would not be expected if light consisted strictly of particles.

This enables the experimenter to find the position of a particle not when it impacts the screen, but rather, when it passes through the double-slit — did it go through only one of the slits, as a particle would be expected to do, or through both, as a wave would be expected to do?

The probability " wave " can be said to " pass through space " because the probability values that one can compute from its mathematical representation are dependent on time.

If a ray tracing is then made as if a light wave ( as understood in classical physics ) is wide enough to take both paths, then that ray tracing will accurately predict the appearance of maxima and minima on the detector screen when many particles pass through the apparatus and gradually " paint " the expected interference pattern.

During World War II and through the 1950s, high frequency (" short wave ") radio was widely used for military and diplomatic communication, and could be intercepted at great distances.

Light of composite wavelengths ( natural sunlight ) disperses into a visible spectrum passing through a prism, because of the wavelength dependent refractive index of the prism material ( dispersion ); that is, each component wave within the composite light is bent a different amount.

Duddell didn't further develop his invention, but in 1902 Danish physicists Valdemar Poulsen and P. O. Pederson were able to increase the frequency produced into the radio range, inventing the Poulsen arc radio transmitter, the first continuous wave radio transmitter, which was used through the 1920s.

A sine wave propagating through such a ring towards the reader distorts the ring in a characteristic, rhythmic fashion ( animated image to the right ).

Some exact solutions describe gravitational waves without any approximation, e. g., a wave train traveling through empty space or so-called Gowdy universes, varieties of an expanding cosmos filled with gravitational waves.

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

However, if the wave is travelling through an absorptive medium, this does not always hold.

No attempts to measure the radio emission of the remaining planets have been reported, and, because of their distances, small diameters, or low temperatures, the thermal radiation at radio wave lengths reaching the earth from these sources is expected to be of very low intensity.

The radio emission of a planet was first detected in 1955, when Burke and Franklin ( 1955 ) identified the origin of interference-like radio noise on their records at about 15 meters wave length as emission from Jupiter.

The radio radiation of the sun which is reflected from the moon and planets should be negligible compared with their thermal emission at centimeter wave lengths, except possibly at times of exceptional outbursts of solar radio noise.

Many of them paid for their curiosity with their lives, for some minutes later the first giant wave roared over the shore.

The waves are separated by intervals of 15 minutes to an hour or more ( because of their great length ), and this has often lulled people into thinking after the first great wave has crashed that it is all over.

) A state is actually a function of the coordinates of all the electrons, so that their motion is correlated, but this is often approximated by this independent-particle model of products of single electron wave functions.

President Bill Clinton ( center ), first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton ( right ) and their daughter Chelsea Clinton ( left ) wave to watchers at a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue on Inauguration Day, January 20, 1997.

The Roman soldiers, who had now used up their pila, were then able to engage Boudica's second wave in the open.

Waves erode coastline as they break on shore releasing their energy ; the larger the wave the more energy it releases and the more sediment it moves.

Coastlines with longer shores have more room for the waves to disperse their energy, while coasts with cliffs and short shore faces give little room for the wave energy to be dispersed.

Due to the matter wave nature of electrons and their smaller mass, they occupy a much larger amount of volume compared with the nuclei, and this volume occupied by the electrons keeps the atomic nuclei relatively far apart, as compared with the size of the nuclei themselves.

The ratio of the speed of the electromagnetic wave to the speed of light in free space is called the velocity factor, and depends on the electromagnetic properties of the conductor and the insulating materials surrounding it, and on their shape and size.

Temple Bar and Grafton Street are two of the few remaining areas that were not affected by the wave of Georgian reconstruction and maintained their medieval character.

So experiments with electrons add confirmatory evidence to the view of Dirac that electrons, protons, neutrons, and even larger entities that are ordinarily called particles nevertheless have their own wave nature and even their own specific frequencies.

Maxwell derived a wave form of the electric and magnetic equations, thus uncovering the wave-like nature of electric and magnetic fields, and their symmetry.

Class-B amplifiers only amplify half of the input wave cycle, thus creating a large amount of distortion, but their efficiency is greatly improved and is much better than class A.

A wave as it is understood in everyday life would paint a large area of the detection screen, but the electrons would be found to impact the screen at single points and would eventually form a pattern in keeping with the probabilities described by their identical wave functions.

Blast doors are designed to absorb the shock wave of a nuclear blast, bending and then returning to their original shape.

Related to similar media sources, the cosplay community forms a subculture centered around wearing costumes and reenacting scenes or inventing likely behavior inspired by their chosen sources, usually from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea ( a. k. a. Korean wave ), China, and Philippines media.
