When the car is moving to the left, each successive wave is emitted from a position further to the left than the previous wave.

When the source of the waves is moving toward the observer, each successive wave crest is emitted from a position closer to the observer than the previous wave.

Conversely, if the source of waves is moving away from the observer, each wave is emitted from a position farther from the observer than the previous wave, so the arrival time between successive waves is increased, reducing the frequency.

An anomaly that arose in the late 19th century involved a contradiction between the wave theory of light and measurements of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by thermal radiators, or so-called black bodies.

The effect was impossible to understand in terms of the classical wave description of light, as the energy of the emitted electrons did not depend on the intensity of the incident radiation.

Electromagnetic radiation propagates following linear wave equations, but can only be emitted or absorbed as discrete elements, thus acting as a wave and a particle simultaneously.

There are water waves on the ocean surface ; gamma waves and light waves emitted by the Sun ; microwaves used in microwave ovens and in radar equipment ; radio waves broadcast by radio stations ; and sound waves generated by radio receivers, telephone handsets and living creatures ( as voices ), to mention only a few wave phenomena.

The zero-dimensional model above, using the solar constant and given average earth temperature, determines the effective earth emissivity of long wave radiation emitted to space.

The superposition of these emitted waves from many oscillators would then lead to a wave which moved more slowly.

Because the technique is sensitive to the angle of the emitted electrons one can determine the spectrum for different wave vectors on the Fermi surface.

The Doppler effect ( or Doppler shift ), named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842, is the difference between the observed frequency and the emitted frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the waves.

The zero-dimensional model above, using the solar constant and given average earth temperature, determines the effective earth emissivity of long wave radiation emitted to space.

Whether due to collisions with a spiral arm, or through the shock wave emitted from supernovae, the atoms are precipitated into heavier molecules and the result is a molecular cloud.

The effect is believed to happen due to classical wave tunneling, when light nearby the droplet tunnels through air inside the droplet and, in the case of Glory, is emitted backwards due to resonance effects.

The object's appearance is presented as an emitted or reflected electromagnetic wave, one form of electronic signal.

The next wavefront is then at a distance away from him ( where is the wavelength, is the frequency of the wave the source emitted, and is the speed of light ).

The phases of these waves are such that the retarded wave emitted by the receiver cancels the retarded wave emitted by the sender, with the result that there is no net wave after the absorption point.

Moseley, after discussions with Bohr who was at the same lab ( and who had used Van den Broek's hypothesis in his Bohr model of the atom ), decided to test Van den Broek and Bohr's hypothesis directly, by seeing if spectral lines emitted from excited atoms fit the Bohr theory's demand that the frequency of the spectral lines be proportional to a measure of the square of Z.

Electrons can also be emitted from the electrodes of certain metals when light of frequency greater than the threshold frequency falls on it.

The received frequency is higher ( compared to the emitted frequency ) during the approach, it is identical at the instant of passing by, and it is lower during the recession.

He confirmed that the sound's pitch was higher than the emitted frequency when the sound source approached him, and lower than the emitted frequency when the sound source receded from him.

This range of wavelengths corresponds to a frequency range of approximately 1 to 400 THz, and includes most of the thermal radiation emitted by objects near room temperature.

The sizes of the cavities determine the resonant frequency, and thereby the frequency of emitted microwaves.

In the photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted from matter ( metals and non-metallic solids, liquids or gases ) as a consequence of their absorption of energy from electromagnetic radiation of very short wavelength and high frequency, such as ultraviolet radiation.

The energy of the emitted electrons does not depend on the intensity of the incoming light, but only on the energy or frequency of the individual photons.

For a given metal, there exists a certain minimum frequency of incident radiation below which no photoelectrons are emitted.

Increasing the frequency of the incident beam, keeping the number of incident photons fixed ( this would result in a proportionate increase in energy ) increases the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted.

Above the threshold frequency, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron depends on the frequency of the incident light, but is independent of the intensity of the incident light so long as the latter is not too high

In 1902, Lenard observed that the energy of individual emitted electrons increased with the frequency ( which is related to the color ) of the light.

The energy difference between the two states ΔE < sub > 21 </ sub > is emitted from the atom as a photon of frequency ν < sub > 21 </ sub > as given by the frequency-energy relation above.

Wien's law gives the most likely frequency of the emitted radiation, and the Stefan – Boltzmann law gives the heat radiation intensity.

The radiation emitted covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum and the intensity ( power / unit-area ) at a given frequency is dictated by Planck's law of radiation.

Redshifts are attributable to the Doppler effect, familiar in the changes in the apparent pitches of sirens and frequency of the sound waves emitted by speeding vehicles ; an observed redshift due to the Doppler effect occurs whenever a light source moves away from an observer.

The difference between the solar-plus-thermal and the solar-only channels gave the total thermal radiation emitted.

Infrared or red radiation from a common household radiator or electric heater is an example of thermal radiation, as is the heat and light ( IR and visible EM waves ) emitted by a glowing incandescent light bulb.

* Thermal infrared spectroscopy measures thermal radiation emitted from materials and surfaces and is used to determine the type of bonds present in a sample as well as their lattice environment.

Hawking showed that quantum effects allow black holes to emit exact black body radiation, which is the average thermal radiation emitted by an idealized thermal source known as a black body.

An important difference between the black hole radiation as computed by Hawking and thermal radiation emitted from a black body is that the latter is statistical in nature, and only its average satisfies what is known as Planck's law of black body radiation, while the former fits the data better.

Thus thermal radiation contains information about the body that emitted it, while Hawking radiation seems to contain no such information, and depends only on the mass, angular momentum, and charge of the black hole ( the no-hair theorem ).

This means that no information loss is expected in black holes ( since no such loss exists in the quantum field theory ), and the radiation emitted by a black hole is probably the usual thermal radiation.

This heat is gradually emitted during the bitterly cold nights that often produce frost, endemic to the region, providing thermal insulation.

The sensors installed in forward-looking infrared cameras — as well as those of other thermal imaging cameras — use detection of infrared radiation, typically emitted from a heat source, to create a " picture " assembled for video output.

Thermal radiation is energy emitted by matter as electromagnetic waves due to the pool of thermal energy that all matter possesses that has a temperature above absolute zero.

Examples of thermal radiation include the visible light and infrared light emitted by an incandescent light bulb, the infrared radiation emitted by animals and detectable with an infrared camera, and the cosmic microwave background radiation.

* Radiant heat, or thermal radiation, electromagnetic radiation emitted from the surface of an object which is due to the object's temperature

However, meaningful investigations had to wait until after J. J. Thomson's identification of the electron in 1897, and until after it was understood – from thermal emission and photo-emission work – that electrons could be emitted from inside metals ( rather than from surface-adsorbed gas molecules ), and that – in the absence of applied fields – electrons escaping from metals had to overcome a work function barrier.

They are created by ionization caused by the photons emitted from that plasma in the various de-excitation processes occurring within the plasma after electron collisions, the thermal energy liberated in those collisions creating photons which are radiated into the gas.

Strictly speaking, any measurement of the emitted light is emission spectroscopy, but atomic emission spectroscopy usually does not include fluorescence and rather refers to emission after excitation by thermal means.

:* emitted energy ( e. g., nuclear, thermal, and electromagnetic );

The heating of the PCBs is sourced by thermal energy emitted by the phase transition of a heat transfer liquid condensing on the PCBs.

THEMIS detects thermal infrared energy emitted by the Martian surface at nine different wavelengths.

The method measures the thermal infrared radiation emitted ( as opposed to being transmitted or reflected ) from a volume or surface.

If the emitted photon has more energy, the energy difference is called an anti-Stokes shift ; this extra energy comes from dissipation of thermal phonons in a crystal lattice, cooling the crystal in the process.
