A team of researchers with members from Wuhan University and the University of Texas has created an artificial material that offers both negative refraction and no reflection. In their paper published ...

At the interface between two facets of an artificial crystal, sound waves can be transmitted in the opposite direction to that expected, and undergo no reflection. Such wave behaviour could have many ...

Students use mirror equations to determine the position and type. Students use mirror equations to determine the position, type, and size of mirror images for curved mirrors mathematically. Optical ...

A ripple tank can be used to investigate the frequency close frequencyThe number of waves produced each second. The unit of frequency is hertz (Hz)., wavelength close wavelengthThe length of a single ...

Phase gradient metagratings (PGMs) have provided unprecedented opportunities for wavefront manipulation. However, this approach suffers from fundamental limits on conversion efficiency; in some cases, ...
