The work is highly visual, and illustrated with many beautiful diagrams revealing this unanticipated aspect of the physics of waves. Linear superpositions of waves create interference patterns, which means in some places they strengthen one another, while in others they completely cancel each other out. This latter phenomenon occurs on 'vortex lines' in three dimensions. In general wave superpositions modelling e.g. chaotic cavity modes, these vortex lines form dense tangles that have never been visualised on the large scale before, and cannot be analysed mathematically by any known techniques. 000778179 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 14, 2016). 000778179 650_0 $$aWave mechanics. 000778179 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319485555$$z9783319485553$$w(OCoLC)959594243 000778179 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000778179 852__ $$bebk 000778179 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-48556-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000778179 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:778179$$pGLOBAL_SET 000778179 980__ $$aEBOOK 000778179 980__ $$aBIB 000778179 982__ $$aEbook 000778179 983__ $$aOnline 000778179 994__ $$a92$$bISE
