Optics is a branch of physics that involves the properties of light and its interaction with matter. Reflection, refraction and diffraction are different ways light can behave based on the conditions ...

Time-varying systems, materials with properties that change over time, have opened new possibilities for the experimental manipulation of waves. Contrarily to static systems, which exhibit the same ...

According to the World Meteorological Organization, a photometer is “an optical phenomenon produced by the reflection, refraction, diffraction or interference of light from the sun or the moon.

A finite element wave propagation model for linear periodic waves in a coastal sea region is developed. The model includes refraction, diffraction, and reflection of gravity waves on water over ...

When a wave or light ray moves from one medium to another its speed changes. The direction of the ray may also change. This property of waves is called refraction and commonly occurs with light rays.

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 ...

Classical optics, rooted in the laws of reflection and refraction that treat light as rays, has long provided a practical framework for imaging and illumination. By contrast, physical optics delves ...

In addition to our other problems, we must also contend with transmission (with attenuation), reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, and scattering. In addition to our other problems, we ...

Description: Wave propagation and microwave circuit design are studied. This course provides a solid background for continued study of wireless communications. Topics include signal analysis, ...
