wave packet [′wāv ‚pak·ət] (physics) In wave phenomena, a superposition of waves of differing lengths, so phased that the resultant amplitude is negligibly small except in a limited portion of space whose dimensions are the dimensions of the packet. Also known as packet. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

| The numerical simulations in the Schrodinger wave packet model also indicated obvious discrepancy remaining for the twin resonator case and some difference in the tendency for the single resonator case. A second, identical laser pulse, delayed so that the initial wave packet has time to move to the opposite side of its orbit, creates another wave packet in the same orbit. It's the resulting localized wave packet that would follow an elliptical orbit for up to three or four revolutions before dispersing and smearing. |
