In optics, the Fraunhofer diffraction equation is used to model the diffraction of waves when the diffraction pattern is viewed at a long distance from the ... more
The gear ratio of a gear train, also known as its speed ratio, is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the angular velocity of the output ... more
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave (or other periodic event) for an observer moving relative to its source. When the speeds of source ... more
The compression ratio of an internal-combustion engine or external combustion engine is a value that represents the ratio of the volume of its combustion ... more
The sawtooth wave (or saw wave) is a kind of non-sinusoidal waveform. The convention is that a sawtooth wave ramps upward and then sharply drops. However, ... more
A compound machine is a machine formed from a set of simple machines connected in series with the output force of one providing the input force to the ... more
In optics, particularly as it relates to film and photography, depth of field (DOF) is the distance between the nearest and ... more
The theory of solar cells explains the process by which light energy in photons is converted into electric current when the photons strike a suitable ... more
