1. Wage
The wage of a part-time worker is the amount of money earned for work performed during a specific period.
1.1 Definition and Formula
The amount of money earned for work performed during a specific period is called the wage. The formula to calculate the wage of a part-time worker is: Wage = Hourly Rate × Hours Worked
1.2 Example
若某人在一周内工作了40小时，且他的时薪为15美元，则他的总工资为：
Wage = 15美元/小时 × 40小时 = 600美元
2. Wave
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium, causing particles of the medium to vibrate.
2.1 Definition
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium, causing particles of the medium to vibrate.
2.2 Properties
- Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) of a wave.
- Amplitude: The maximum displacement of a particle of the medium from its rest position.
- Frequency: The number of waves that pass a point in a unit of time.
2.3 Examples
- Sound waves: Transfer energy through the air, causing particles of the air to vibrate.
- Electromagnetic waves: Transfer energy through space, including radio, microwave, and infrared waves.
3. Wavelength
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) of a wave.
3.1 Definition
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) of a wave.
3.2 Importance
Wavelength is important in understanding the behavior of waves, as it determines how quickly energy is transmitted through the medium. Wavelength is typically measured in meters (m). The relationship between wavelength and frequency is given by the equation: c = λf, where 'c' is the speed of light, 'λ' is the wavelength, 'f' is the frequency.
3.3 Applications
Wavelength is essential in many fields, including physics, engineering, and biology. For example, in optics, the波长 of light is important in the design of lenses and mirrors, while in medicine, the wavelength of sound can be used to determine the depth of a body structure.
4. Wealth
Wealth refers to the total amount of assets, including cash, stocks, and real estate, that a person owns.
4.1 Definition and Formula
Wealth is the total amount of assets, including cash, stocks, and real estate, that a person owns. The formula to calculate wealth is: Wealth = Net Worth + Total Assets
4.2 Example
If a person has a net worth of $1 million and total assets of $5 million, their wealth would be $6 million.
5. Week
A week is a period of seven days, consisting of one day for each week.
5.1 Definition
A week is a period of seven days, consisting of one day for each week.
5.2 Components
- Monday: The first day of the week.
- Tuesday: The second day of the week.
- Wednesday: The third day of the week.
- Thursday: The fourth day of the week.
- Friday: The fifth day of the week.
- Saturday: The sixth day of the week.
- Sunday: The seventh day of the week.
5.3 customs
- Traditionally, many Western cultures consider Monday to be the start of the workweek, while in some other cultures, Sunday may be the day of rest or worship.
6._weekday
weekday (华夏)
6.1 definition and usage
weekday 可能是指一个星期的某一天。特别是在中文环境下，weekday（工作日）通常指的是除去周末的周一至周五。
例如：
- 下班后，他通常会去健身房锻炼。
- 这个月他工作日的晚上都会加班到很晚。
根据这个上下文，weekday 在这里表示的是一个星期的某一天，即工作日，而不是周末。因此，可以理解为“工作日的晚上”。
