An orthogonal wave is a type of wave that oscillates perpendicular to a given axis or plane. In mathematics, orthogonal waves are used to describe waves that are mutually perpendicular or independent of each other. They are often employed in mathematical and physics contexts to model complex wave interactions.

What is orthogonal and normalised wave function?
An orthogonal wave function is one that is perpendicular to another wave function within a given system. This means their inner product is zero. A normalised wave function is one that is scaled so that the integral of its square magnitude over all space is equal to 1. This normalization condition ensures that the probability of finding a particle in the system is always equal to 1.
What is meant by orthogonal directions of polarization?
Orthogonal directions of polarization refer to two perpendicular directions in which an electromagnetic wave's electric field oscillates. In these directions, the electric fields are independent of each other and can be represented as perpendicular vectors. This property is commonly seen in linearly polarized light.
Why the both electric and magnetic field are don't exist in the direction of wave propagation in tem waves?
In TEM (transverse electromagnetic) waves, the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This is because the wave is designed to have components that oscillate in orthogonal planes, allowing the wave to propagate without the need for a medium to carry it.
Every vector can be represented as the sum of its?
Every vector can be represented as the sum of its orthogonal components. For example, in a 2D space, any vector can be expressed as the sum of two orthogonal vectors along the x and y axes. In a 3D space, any vector can be represented as the sum of three orthogonal vectors along the x, y, and z axes.
What are the key principles and concepts of orthogonal quantum mechanics?
Orthogonal quantum mechanics is based on the principles of superposition, entanglement, and measurement. Superposition states that a quantum system can exist in multiple states simultaneously. Entanglement refers to the correlation between particles that can affect each other instantaneously regardless of distance. Measurement collapses the superposition of a quantum system into a definite state. These principles are fundamental in understanding the behavior of quantum systems in orthogonal quantum mechanics.
What are orthogonal wave functions?
Math Prelude: Orthogonal wave functions arise as a natural consequence of the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics and the relevant mathematical structure is called a Hilbert Space. Within this infinite dimensional (Hilbert) vector space is a definition of orthogonal that is exactly the same as "perpendicular" and that is the natural generalization of "perpendicular" vectors in ordinary three dimensional space. Within that context, wave functions are orthogonal or perpendicular when the "dot product" is zero. Quantum Answer: With that prelude, we can then say that mathematically, the collection of all quantum states of a quantum system defines a Hilbert Space. Two quantum functions in the space are said to be orthogonal when they are perpendicular and perpendicular means the "dot product" is zero. Physics Answer: The question asked has been answered, but what has not been answered (because it was not was not asked), is why orthogonal wave functions are important. As it turns out, anything that you can observe or measure about the state of a quantum system will be mathematically represented with Hermitian operators. A "pure" state, i.e. one where the same measurement always results in the same answers, is necessarily an eigenstate of a Hermtian operator and any two pure states that give two different results of measurement are necessarily "orthogonal wave functions." Conclusion: Thus, there are infinitely many orthogonal wave functions in the set of all wave functions of a quantum system and that orthogonal property has no physical meaning. When one identifies the subset of quantum states that associated pure quantum states (meaning specifically measured properties) and then two distinguishable measurement outcomes are associated with two different quantum states and those two are orthogonal. But, what was asked was a question of mathematics. Mathematically orthogonal wave functions do not guarantee distinct pure quantum state, but distinct pure quantum states does guarantee mathematically orthogonal wave functions. You can remember that in case someone asks.

What is orthogonal and normalized wave function?
An orthogonal wave function refers to two wave functions that are perpendicular to each other in function space, meaning their inner product is zero. A normalized wave function is a wave function that has been scaled such that the probability density integrates to unity over all space, ensuring that the total probability of finding the particle is 1.
What is the definition of orthogonal signal space?
Orthogonal signal space is defined as the set of orthogonal functions, which are complete. In orthogonal vector space any vector can be represented by orthogonal vectors provided they are complete.Thus, in similar manner any signal can be represented by a set of orthogonal functions which are complete.

Self orthogonal trajectories?
a family of curves whose family of orthogonal trajectories is the same as the given family, is called self orthogonal trajectories.
How do you use Orthogonal in a sentence?
Orthogonal is a term referring to something containing right angles. An example sentence would be: That big rectangle is orthogonal.
