unusual facts about Wave propagation



Greater Blue Mountains Area

The area is called "Blue Mountains" based on the fact that when atmospheric temperature rise, the essential oil of various Eucalyptus species evaporates and disperse in the air, then visible blue spectrum of sunlight propagates more than other colours.

James R. Wait

After a brief stint with the Defense Research Communications establishment in Ottawa, Wait first joined the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder, Colorado, and then NOAA; at each, he concentrated predominantly on theoretical aspects of radio-wave propagation.

Light scattering

Periodicity or structural repetition in the scattering medium will cause interference in the spectrum of scattered light.

Eikonal equation, a non-linear partial differential equation encountered in problems of wave propagation.

Multilateration

Examples of 2-D multilateration are short wave radio long distance communications through the Earth's atmosphere, acoustic wave propagation in the sound fixing and ranging channel of the oceans and the LORAN navigation system.
