Propagation of Waves01:07

Propagation of Waves

2.6K
When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free.
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Reflection of Waves01:07

Reflection of Waves

4.2K
When a wave travels from one medium to another, it gets reflected at the boundary of the second medium. A common example of this is when a person yells at a distance from a cliff and hears the echo of their voice. The sound waves (longitudinal waves) traveling in the air are reflected from the bounding cliff. Similarly, flipping one end of a string whose other end is tied to a wall causes a pulse (transverse wave) to travel through the string, which gets reflected upon reaching the wall. In...

Interference and Diffraction02:18

Interference and Diffraction

50.6K
Interference is a characteristic phenomenon exhibited by waves. When two electromagnetic waves interact with their peaks and troughs coinciding, a resulting wave with enhanced amplitude is produced. This is known as constructive interference. In this case, the two waves interacting are in phase with each other.

Echo01:06

Echo

730
The human ear cannot distinguish between two sources of sound if they happen to reach within a specific time interval, typically 0.1 seconds apart. More than this, and they are perceived as separate sources.
Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...

Plane Electromagnetic Waves I

4.6K
The existence of combined electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space as electromagnetic (EM) waves is the most significant prediction of Maxwell's equations. As Maxwell's equations hold in free space, the predicted electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for their propagation. An EM wave comprises an electric field, defined as the force per charge on a stationary charge, and a magnetic field, which is the force per charge on a moving charge.
The EM field is assumed to be a...

Plane Electromagnetic Waves II

3.9K
Consider a plane wavefront traveling in position x-direction with a constant speed. This wavefront can be utilized to obtain the relationship between electric and magnetic fields with the help of Faraday's law.

Area of Science:

  • Theoretical physics
  • String theory
  • Conformal field theory

Background:

  • Scattering from conformal interfaces in 2D is known to be universal.
  • Energy flux (reflected and transmitted) is independent of the initial state.
  • Holographic duals provide a framework to study such phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To perform the first gravitational calculation of energy reflection and transmission coefficients.
  • To investigate interfaces with thin-brane holographic duals.
  • To analyze the dependence of these coefficients on interface properties.

Main Methods:

  • Gravitational calculation.
  • Analysis of interfaces with thin-brane holographic duals.
  • Exploration of the relationship between reflection coefficient and string tension.

Main Results:

  • The reflection coefficient depends monotonically on the tension of the dual string at the interface.
  • The calculated reflection coefficient satisfies the lower bound derived from the averaged null energy condition in conformal field theory.
  • The boundary conformal field theory limit is achieved when the ratio of central charges approaches infinity.

Conclusions:

  • The gravitational approach provides a consistent method for calculating scattering coefficients at conformal interfaces.
  • The results support the universality of scattering phenomena and validate theoretical bounds derived from conformal field theory.
  • This work bridges concepts from string theory, gravity, and conformal field theory.
