Random conditions in the ocean occasionally produce mammoth waves. A wave must be at least 2.2 times the height of the so-called significant wave height to qualify as a freak wave. The significant ...

Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Reflection is described at boundaries of ...

Here's a nice surprise: quantum physics is less complicated than we thought. An international team of researchers has proved that two peculiar features of the quantum world previously considered ...

Tiny waves, big implications: Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...
