bước sóng
Definition
- Noun:
- Wavelength: The distance between successive crests, troughs, or identical points of a wave. It is a fundamental property of periodic waves, including light, sound, and radio waves, and is inversely related to frequency.
Usage Examples
- Noun:
- Ánh sáng đỏ có bước sóng dài hơn ánh sáng xanh. (Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light.)
- Các nhà khoa học đo bước sóng của sóng vô tuyến. (Scientists measure the wavelength of radio waves.)
- Sóng âm thanh với bước sóng ngắn có tần số cao. (Sound waves with a short wavelength have a high frequency.)
Advanced Usage
- "trên cùng một bước sóng" (idiomatic): To be on the same wavelength; to think in a similar way and understand each other well.
- Chúng tôi hiểu nhau rất nhanh vì chúng tôi trên cùng một bước sóng. (We understood each other quickly because we were on the same wavelength.)
Variants and Related Words
- Sóng (n): wave. The general term from which "bước sóng" is derived.
- Sóng biển rất mạnh hôm nay. (The sea waves are very strong today.)
Synonyms
- Wavelength: The standard and direct translation.
Related Scientific Terms
- Tần số (n): Frequency. The number of waves that pass a point per unit of time, inversely proportional to wavelength.
- Biên độ sóng (n): Wave amplitude. The maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
