wave equation noun[ C ] physics, mathematics specializeduk /ˈweɪv ɪˌkweɪ.ʒən/ us /ˈweɪv ɪˌkweɪ.ʒən/ an equation in physics that helps you find out the length or shape of a wave (= the pattern in which some types of energy, such as sound, light, and heat, are spread or carried): 波动方程 Erwin Schrödinger's best-known equation is a wave equation that is considered a landmark in the development of quantum mechanics. 埃尔温·薛定谔最著名的方程是波动方程,它被认为是量子力学发展的里程碑。 Many wave equations have good approximations that can be used for very high frequency solutions. By solving the wave equation, you can calculate the chance of finding the electron at any given point in space. A wave equation could be used to determine how the intensity of a sound wave changes the further away its source goes.
