= Whispering-gallery wave
{wiki=Whispering-gallery_wave}
A **whispering-gallery wave** refers to a type of wave phenomenon that occurs in certain structures, particularly in circular or curved geometries, such as domes, tunnels, and other enclosed spaces. The term is derived from the concept of "whispering galleries," which are architectural features where sound can travel along the curved surface of the gallery, allowing whispers to be heard clearly across large distances with minimal loss of sound.
