What happens when the universe's most magnetic object shines with the power of 1000 suns in a matter of seconds? Thanks to ...

these types of waves are called transverse waves. Other waves travel because the particles move backwards and forwards a short distance in the same direction as the wave is moving in. These types ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. A sound wave is a vibration that travels through a solid, liquid or gas such as the air or water. A loud sound has a ...

Abstract: Polarization converter is firstly proposed with the functions of simultaneously converting a linear polarization (LP) and a circular polarization (CP) to its corresponding cross ...

Abstract: We demonstrate a new method for measuring transverse stress with 10.2-mum spatial resolution in a fiber Bragg grating sensor, without the use of polarization-maintaining fiber, by combining ...

BEIJING -- A Chinese research team has developed a novel terahertz wave polarization modulator that can be used in multiple fields such as high-speed wireless communication, the Chinese Academy of ...

If the light is polarized in a direction that does not line up, its direction of polarization will be resolved into two perpendicular components. One of these components will be parallel to the length ...
