-
physical sciences, the
wavenumber (or wave number), also
known as repetency, is the
spatial frequency of a wave.
Ordinary wavenumber is
defined as the number...
- A
wavenumber–frequency
diagram is a plot
displaying the
relationship between the
wavenumber (spatial frequency) and the
frequency (temporal frequency)...
- of the
highest wavenumber (inverse wavelength) of any
photon that can be
emitted from a
hydrogen atom, or, alternatively, the
wavenumber of the lowest-energy...
- In
meteorological applications, a
zonal wavenumber or
hemispheric wavenumber is the
dimensionless number of
wavelengths ****ing
within a full
circle around...
-
wavenumber: 1
kayser = 1 wave per centimetre; or, more generally, (
wavenumber in kaysers) = 1/(wavelength in centimetres). The SI unit of
wavenumber is...
-
generalized to (k ⋅ r − ωt), by
replacing the
wavenumber k with a wave
vector that
specifies the
direction and
wavenumber of a
plane wave in 3-space, parameterized...
- frequency. The
relationship between frequency (proportional to energy) and
wavenumber or
velocity (proportional to momentum) is
called a
dispersion relation...
- of
waves in a medium. A
dispersion relation relates the
wavelength or
wavenumber of a wave to its frequency.
Given the
dispersion relation, one can calculate...
- on the
vertical axis vs. frequency,
wavenumber or
wavelength on the
horizontal axis.
Typical units of
wavenumber used in IR
spectra are
reciprocal centimeters...
- the
wavenumber or

expressed in
terms of
wavenumbers which are the sum or
difference of
