This equation takes on its real meaning when the Fourier transform, is associated with the coefficient of the plane wave whose transverse wavenumbers are.

In solids, mechanical waves can take many forms including longitudinal waves, transverse waves and surface waves.

When the angular velocity of this co-rotating frame is not constant, that is, for non-circular orbits, other fictitious forces — the Coriolis force and the Euler force — will arise, but can be ignored since they will cancel each other, yielding a net zero acceleration transverse to the moving radial vector, as required by the starting assumption that the vector co-rotates with the planet.

The electromagnetic waves that compose electromagnetic radiation can be imagined as a self-propagating transverse oscillating wave of electric and magnetic fields.

Electromagnetic waves can be imagined as a self-propagating transverse oscillating wave of electric and magnetic fields.

If the transverse axis of any hyperbola is aligned with the x-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system and is centered on the origin, the equation of the hyperbola can be written as

Atlanto-axial subluxation can occur, owing to erosion of the odontoid process and or / transverse ligaments in the cervical spine's connection to the skull.

In those two languages, the name flauta is ambiguous, as it can mean any kind of transverse flutes, a recorder, or different other types of wind blown instruments, like the pan flute and some instruments used by the descendants of native peoples of the Central and South Americas ( with varied degrees of influence of European instruments ).

A wave can be transverse or longitudinal depending on the direction of its oscillation.

While mechanical waves can be both transverse and longitudinal, all electromagnetic waves are transverse.

While simple longitudinal parity can only detect errors, it can be combined with additional error control coding, such as a transverse redundancy check, to correct errors.

For example, a homogeneous surface perpendicular to the z direction can not change the transverse momentum.

However, above a certain cutoff frequency, transverse electric ( TE ) or transverse magnetic ( TM ) modes can also propagate, as they do in a waveguide.

In digital sensors, axial CA results in the red and blue planes being defocused ( assuming that the green plane is in focus ), which is relatively difficult to remedy in post-processing, while transverse CA results in the red, green, and blue planes being at different magnifications ( magnification changing along radii, as in geometric distortion ), and can be corrected by radially scaling the planes appropriately so they line up.

* 1821 — Augustin-Jean Fresnel derives a mathematical demonstration that polarization can be explained only if light is entirely transverse, with no longitudinal vibration whatsoever.

Each phonon mode can be split into one longitudinal and two transverse polarization branches.

In human anatomy, the carpal bones can be classified as belonging to two transverse rows or three longitudinal columns.

Although they seemingly can appear anywhere, the non-Andean mountains usually form part of transverse and coastal ranges.

If you anchor one end of a ribbon or string and hold the other end in your hand, you can create transverse waves by moving your hand up and down.

In the transverse direction, if the waveguide is wide compared to the wavelength of light, then the waveguide can support multiple transverse optical modes, and the laser is known as " multi-mode ".

However, waves can exist in plasmas or confined spaces, called plasma waves, which can be longitudinal, transverse, or a mixture of both.

The doctor, he noticed, was attempting a transverse movement towards the stairs, but before the movement could be completed a distinct and audible cluck ruffled the air in the hollow of the stair-well.

When a dot appears close to the end of the transverse line, the `` moderate '' rating may be further classified according to the position of the dot with respect to the vertical marking denoting the mean age.

The light beam from a distant object cannot itself have any transverse velocity component, or it could not ( by definition ) be seen by the observer, since it would miss the observer.

However some high power lasers may be multimode, with the transverse modes often approximated using Hermite-Gaussian or Laguerre-Gaussian functions.

* The New Math ( s ) ( 2000 ) ( text by Hal Hartley ) for soprano, transverse flute, violin, marimba, CD ( music by Michel van der Aa ), 2000 ( film score ; may be performed as a concert work )

However, a century later, Young and Fresnel revived the wave theory of light when they pointed out that light could be a transverse wave rather than a longitudinal wave — the polarization of a transverse wave ( like Newton's " sides " of light ) could explain birefringence, and in the wake of a series of experiments on diffraction the particle model of Newton was finally abandoned.

From the symptoms and signs, it may be very difficult to distinguish acute transverse myelitis from these conditions and it is almost invariably necessary to perform an emergency magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) scan or computerised tomographic ( CT ) myelogram.

Consider a traveling transverse wave ( which may be a pulse ) on a string ( the medium ).

Many lasers emit beams that approximate a Gaussian profile, in which case the laser is said to be operating on the fundamental transverse mode, or " TEM < sub > 00 </ sub > mode " of the laser's optical resonator.

Although historically the images generated were in the axial or transverse plane, perpendicular to the long axis of the body, modern scanners allow this volume of data to be reformatted in various planes or even as volumetric ( 3D ) representations of structures.

Most Gothic churches, unless they are entitled chapels, are of the Latin cross ( or " cruciform ") plan, with a long nave making the body of the church, a transverse arm called the transept and, beyond it, an extension which may be called the choir, chancel or presbytery.

Since longitudinal waves have a much greater phase velocity than transverse waves, V < sub > long </ sub > is much greater than V < sub > trans </ sub >, and the relaxation length or mean free path of longitudinal phonons will be much greater.

At the instant of any observation of an object, the apparent position of the object is displaced from its true position by an amount which depends solely upon the transverse component of the velocity of the observer, with respect to the vector of the incoming beam of light ( i. e., the line actually taken by the light on its path to the observer ).

In contrast, stellar aberration is independent of the distance of a celestial object from the observer, and depends only on the observer's instantaneous transverse velocity in certain frame of reference, at the moment of observation.

Another way to state this is that the emitting object may have a transverse velocity with respect to the observer, but any light beam emitted from it which reaches the observer, cannot, for it must have been previously emitted in such a direction that its transverse component has been " corrected " for.

They always used two-stroke engines and, from 1931, the company was a pioneer in front-wheel drive and transverse mounting.

So the parameters are: a — distance from center C to either vertex b — length of a perpendicular segment from each vertex to the asymptotes c — distance from center C to either Focus point, F < sub > 1 </ sub > and F < sub > 2 </ sub >, and θ — angle formed by each asymptote with the transverse axis.

) There are variants of μSR, e. g. muon spin rotation, which is affected by the presence of a magnetic field applied transverse to the muon beam direction ( since muons are typically produced in a spin-polarized state from the decay of pions ), and avoided level crossing ( ALC ), which is also called level crossing resonance ( LCR ).

The DKW Schnellaster, manufactured from 1949 to 1962 was a small monospace ( or one-box ) design featuring its front wheels set forward of the passenger cabin, a short, sloping aerodynamic hood, front-wheel drive, transverse engine, flat load floor throughout with flexible seating and cargo accommodations – the key design ingredients that describe the modern minivan configuration popularized in such notable examples as the Renault Espace and Chrysler Voyager / Caravan minivans.

The recorder is held outwards from the player's lips ( rather than to the side, like the " transverse " flute ).

It was designed to test the transverse Doppler effect – the redshift of light from a moving source in a direction perpendicular to its velocity – which had been predicted by Einstein in 1905.

Recovery from transverse myelitis usually begins between weeks 2 and 12 following onset and may continue for up to 2 years in some patients.

The prognosis for significant recovery from acute transverse myelitis is poor in approximately 66 % of the cases ; that is, significant long-term disabilities will remain.

** The open flute family, in which the player's lips form a stream of air that goes directly from the players lips to the edge, such as transverse flutes and end-blown flutes.

For over twenty years, Mitchell has suffered pain from nerve damage, caused by transverse myelitis, and is a supporter of the Neuropathy Trust .< ref > Neuropathy Trust accessed 27 Jun 2007

The vagus nerve supplies motor parasympathetic fibers to all the organs except the suprarenal ( adrenal ) glands, from the neck down to the second segment of the transverse colon.

This is a transverse section of the striatum from a structural MR image.

This is a transverse section of the striatum from a structural MRI | MR image.

The New Testament writings about the crucifixion of Jesus do not speak specifically about the shape of that cross, but the early writings that do speak of its shape, from about the year 100 on, describe it as shaped like the letter T ( the Greek letter tau ) or as composed of an upright and a transverse beam, sometimes with a small ledge in the upright.

** The greater omentum ( or gastrocolic ) hangs from the greater curve of the stomach and loops down in front of the intestines before curving back upwards to attach to the transverse colon.

The transverse processes are large ; they project laterally and downward from the lateral masses, and serve for the attachment of muscles which assist in rotating the head.
