testing. The term Rayleigh–Lamb waves embraces the Rayleigh wave, a type of wave that propagates along a single surface. Both Rayleigh and Lamb waves are...

suspension (a sol). Also known as Tyndall scattering, it is similar to Rayleigh scattering, in that the intensity of the scattered light is inversely proportional...

size of objects viewed through a microscope is limited according to the Rayleigh criterion, the radius to the first null of the Airy disk, to a size proportional...

in illuminating the phenomenon of light dispersion where other models failed. John William Strutt (Lord Rayleigh) and Josiah Willard Gibbs then proved that...

observing the long-wavelength spectrum of black body radiation, the classical Rayleigh–Jeans law can be applied, but when the observed wavelengths approach the...

throughout a continuous phase. Note 1: Modification of definition in ref. A dispersion is a system in which distributed particles of one material are dispersed...

Darrieus–Landau mechanism and the Rayleigh–Taylor mechanism contributes to the destabilizing effect. The dispersion relation when buoyance forces are...

it interpolates between the exponential distribution (k = 1) and the Rayleigh distribution (k = 2 and λ = 2 σ {\displaystyle \lambda ={\sqrt {2}}\sigma...

generally used dimensionless number would be the Richardson number and Rayleigh number. The mathematics of the flow is therefore simpler because the density...
