* Draupner wave

* Draupner wave

Eyewitness accounts from mariners and damages inflicted on ships have long suggested they occurred ; however, their scientific measurement was only positively confirmed following measurements of the " Draupner wave ", a rogue wave at the Draupner platform, in the North Sea on January 1, 1995.

* Draupner wave ( North Sea, 1995 ) – First rogue wave confirmed with scientific evidence, it had a maximum height of.

In the case of the Draupner wave, its height was 2. 2 times the significant wave height.

A tsunami is not a single wave but a series.

# The electrons are never in a single point location, although the probability of interacting with the electron at a single point can be found from the wave function of the electron.

Each wave state has a single discrete spin ( spin up or spin down ).

) 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.

The advantage of spherical coordinates ( for atoms ) is that an orbital wave function is a product of three factors each dependent on a single coordinate: ψ ( r, θ, φ ) = R ( r ) Θ ( θ ) Φ ( φ ).

The subjective view, that the wave function is merely a mathematical tool for calculating the probabilities in a specific experiment, has some similarities to the Ensemble interpretation in that it takes probabilities to be the essence of the quantum state, but unlike the ensemble interpretation, it takes these probabilities to be perfectly applicable to single experimental outcomes, as it interprets

The Ensemble interpretation is similar ; it offers an interpretation of the wave function, but not for single particles.

The Hartree – Fock wave function is a single configuration or determinant.

There are experiments in which the wave and particle natures of electromagnetic waves appear in the same experiment, such as the self-interference of a single photon.

The noise travels around the loop and is amplified and filtered until very quickly it becomes a sine wave at a single frequency.

a pair of quantum systems may be described by a single wave function, which encodes the probabilities of the outcomes of

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.

For the case of a carrier modulated by a single sine wave, the resulting frequency spectrum can be calculated using Bessel functions of the first kind, as a function of the sideband number and the modulation index.

The fundamental frequency of a sound wave in a tube with a single CLOSED end can be found using the following equation:

Mares may however have multiple FSH waves during a single estrous cycle, and diestrus follicles resulting from a diestrus FSH wave are not uncommon, particularly in the height of the natural breeding season.

A different ontology arises if we need to attend to the electrodynamics in the device: Here signals propagate at finite speed and an object ( like a resistor ) that was previously viewed as a single component with an I / O behavior may now have to be thought of as an extended medium through which an electromagnetic wave flows.

Temporal ( or longitudinal ) coherence implies a polarized wave at a single frequency whose phase is correlated over a relatively large distance ( the coherence length ) along the beam.

Most of these use a single scalar quantity to represent the electric field of the light wave, rather than using a vector model with orthogonal electric and magnetic vectors.

For example, a single photon may be refracted by a lens or exhibit wave interference with itself, but also act as a particle giving a definite result when its position is measured.

Here a single cycle, or transient wave, is used similar to UWB communications, see List of UWB channels.

Refraction is described by Snell's law, which states that for a given pair of media and a wave with a single frequency, the ratio of the sines of the angle of incidence θ < sub > 1 </ sub > and angle of refraction θ < sub > 2 </ sub > is equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities ( v < sub > 1 </ sub > / v < sub > 2 </ sub >) in the two media, or equivalently, to the opposite ratio of the indices of refraction ( n < sub > 2 </ sub > / n < sub > 1 </ sub >):

The TB-303 has a single audio oscillator, which may be configured to produce either a sawtooth wave or a square wave.

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

His report describes accurately the characteristic sequence of earthquake, retreat of the sea and sudden giant wave.

* 1963 – In northeast Italy, over 2, 000 people are killed when a large landslide behind the Vajont Dam causes a giant wave of water to overtop it.

* October 9 – In northeast Italy, over 2, 000 people are killed when a large landslide behind the Vajont Dam causes a giant wave of water to overtop it.

Some scholars have argued that an impact event in an ocean or sea may create a megatsunami ( a giant wave ), which can cause destruction both at sea and on land along the coast, but this is disputed.

He was said to be fearful to look upon to mortal eye, dressed like a giant wave in glittering green armour, blowing his great horns the Ulumúri.

Examples of national facilities include the NSF ’ s national observatories, with their giant optical and radio telescopes ; its Antarctic research sites ; its high-end computer facilities and ultra-high-speed network connections ; the ships and submersibles used for ocean research ; and its gravitational wave observatories.

Directed by Ronald Neame and starring Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters and Red Buttons, the film detailed survivors ' attempts at escaping a sinking ocean liner overturned by a giant wave triggered by an earthquake.

On 9 July 1958, a giant landslide at the head of Lituya Bay in Alaska, caused by an earthquake, generated a wave with an initial amplitude of.

Misidentified sightings of seals, otters, deer, diving water birds, large fish such as giant sturgeons or wels catfish, logs, mirages, seiches, light distortion, crossing boat wakes, or unusual wave patterns have all been proposed to explain specific reports.

The park would consist of giant river systems where visitors can ride inner tubes or swim between water slides, wave pools, downhill rapids and beaches.

There were three fishing boats anchored near the entrance of Lituya Bay on the day the giant wave occurred.

The same rockfall impact, in combination with strong ground movements, the net vertical crustal uplift of about, and an overall tilting seaward of the entire crustal block on which Lituya Bay was situated, generated the giant wave which swept the main body of the bay.

Mathematical modeling studies conducted by Dr. Charles Mader, support this mechanism as there is a sufficient volume and an adequately deep layer of water in the Lituya Bay inlet to account for the giant wave runup and subsequent inundation.

The explosion of nearby Krakatau in 1883 produced a tsunami ( giant wave ) that eliminated the villages and crops of the coastal areas on the western peninsula, and covered the entire area in a layer of ash averaging 30 cm thick.

The blue metal and glass exterior of the aquarium was designed to resemble a giant ark breaking through a wave.

His own paopei are ' Sansento ,' a giant fork shaped weapon that can release a shock wave, and ' Kotenken ' a paopei with the appearance of a dog which lives in his sleeve and can be called to attack enemies or used as a riding mount to fly.

In November 2011, Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara surfed a record-breaking giant wave: from trough to crest, at Nazaré.

The sanctuary escaped serious damage and the sanctuary, animals and birds largely survived the giant wave, but 5, 525 people were killed in neighbouring parts of Nagapattinam District.

The story mode of the game starts out in Midtown Park where a giant gorilla called Congar defeats a wave of military forces but is fought and defeated by the lead monster.

The double wave ellipsoidal light variations are produced by a tidally deformed giant that nearly fills its Roche lobe.

", which was initially scheduled to air on April 7, 2011 in Japan, and then delayed because of a giant wave shown during the fishing contest.

The reef at Pipe is a flat tabletop reef, with several caverns on the inside, creating a giant air bubble that pops on the front of the wave when the wave lurches upwards just before breaking.
