Example types with wavefront
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
This new wavefront propagates into the geometric shadow area of the obstacle. (12 words)
Traditionally, interferometers have been classified as either amplitude-division or wavefront-division systems. (13 words)
Stokes' derivation may be summarized as follows: Consider a wavefront moving in the downwards z direction. (16 words)
Nodes in all the different directions are explored uniformly, appearing as a more-or-less circular wavefront as Dijkstra's algorithm uses a heuristic identically equal to 0. Let the node at which we are starting be called the initial node. (41 words)
A long slit of infinitesimal width which is illuminated by light diffracts the light into a series of circular waves and the wavefront which emerges from the slit is a cylindrical wave of uniform intensity. (35 words)
Now, motion of the aether in the x and y directions does not affect the wavefront, but the motion in the z direction advances it (in addition to the amount it advances at speed c). (35 words)
Example sentences (11)
A complex, aberrated wavefront profile may be curve-fitted with Zernike polynomials to yield a set of fitting coefficients that individually represent different types of aberrations.
A long slit of infinitesimal width which is illuminated by light diffracts the light into a series of circular waves and the wavefront which emerges from the slit is a cylindrical wave of uniform intensity.
If an otherwise perfect wavefront is "aberrated" by piston and tilt, it will still form a perfect, aberration-free image, only shifted to a different position.
In a retroreflector an electromagnetic wavefront is reflected back along a vector that is parallel to but opposite in direction from the wave's source.
Nodes in all the different directions are explored uniformly, appearing as a more-or-less circular wavefront as Dijkstra's algorithm uses a heuristic identically equal to 0. Let the node at which we are starting be called the initial node.
Now, motion of the aether in the x and y directions does not affect the wavefront, but the motion in the z direction advances it (in addition to the amount it advances at speed c).
Now, say in time t the wavefront has moved by a span (assuming the speed of the aether is negligible compared to the speed of light).
Stokes' derivation may be summarized as follows: Consider a wavefront moving in the downwards z direction.
The engineering of such high frequency direction finding systems for operation on ships presented severe technical problems, mainly due to the effects of the superstructure on the wavefront of arriving radio signals.
