Proper velocity the traveling object. It equals the object's momentum p divided by its rest mass "m", and is made up of the space-like components of the object's four-vector velocity. William Shurcliff's monograph mentioned its early use in the Sears and Brehme text. Fraundorf has explored its pedagogical value while Ungar, Baylis and Hestenes have examined its relevance from group theory and geometric algebra perspectives. Proper velocity is sometimes referred to as celerity. Unlike the more familiar coordinate velocity v, proper velocity is synchrony-free (does not require synchronized clocks) and is useful for describing both super-relativistic and sub-relativistic motion. Like coordinate velocity
Mode of a linear field usually the energy of the solution "assuming that there is no other field in S". From the norm are defined the orthogonality and the scalar product of solutions. The orthogonality of solutions extends to the corresponding modes. Mode of a linear field In physics, a vector field is linear if it is a solution of a set of linear equations "E". For instance, in physics, the electromagnetic field in vacuum, defined in the usual (3 + 1)-dimensional space "S", obeys Maxwell's equations. A linear combination of electromagnetic fields, with constant, real coefficients, is a new field which obeys Maxwell's equations.
