单词 wave equation
释义
wave equation

Physics
  • A partial differential equation of the form:

    2u=(1/c2)2u/t2

    where

    2=2/x2+2/y2+2/z2

    is the Laplace operator (see Laplace equation). It represents the propagation of a wave, where u is the displacement and c the speed of propagation. See also Schrödinger equation.


Mathematics
  • The hyperbolic partial differential equation ∂2y/∂t2 = c22y/∂t2 satisfied by small transverse vibrations of a string, where c is the speed of a wave’s propagation, and first studied by d’Alembert. The general solution is y(x,t) = f(x + ct) + g(xct), where f and g are arbitrary functions. The wave equation generalizes to three spatial dimensions as ∂2f/∂t2 = c22f, as would be satisfied by the electric field of a light wave E(x,t) = A cos (ω‎tu.x/c), where ω‎ denotes frequency and u is a unit vector parallel to the direction of the wave.


Chemistry
  • A partial differential equation of the form:

    2u=(1/c2)2u/t2,

    where

    2=2/x2+2/y2+2/z2

    is the Laplace operator. It represents the propagation of a wave, where u is the displacement and c the speed of propagation. See also Schrödinger equation.


Electronics and Electrical Engineering
  • See quantum mechanics.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • An equation of wave mechanics which represents wave displacement (ψ‎) and wave velocity (v) as a function of space and time (t), where space can be represented by rectangular coordinates (x, y, z), such that: v2ψ‎ = (δ‎2ψ‎/δ‎x2) + δ‎2ψ‎/δ‎y2 + δ‎2ψ‎/δ‎z2 = (1/v2)δ‎2ψ‎/δ‎t2; or the equation can be represented in spherical coordinates, such that: (1/v2)δ‎2ψ‎/δ‎t2 = (1/r2) [δ‎(r2δ‎ψ‎/r)δ‎r + (1/sin θ‎)(δ‎(sin θ‎ × δ‎ψ‎/δ‎Φ‎)δ‎θ‎) + (1/sin2 θ‎)(δ‎2ψ‎/δ‎θ‎2)], where r is the radius, θ‎ the colatitudes, and Φ‎ the longitude.
