形容詞

(electromagnetism) Of an oscillating electric or magnetic field: not propagating as an electromagnetic wave but having its energy spatially concentrated in the vicinity of its source.

日本語の意味

電磁波として伝搬せず、振動する電場または磁場のエネルギーが発生源近傍に局所的に集中する現象を指す。

The evanescent field around the waveguide decays rapidly, confining the energy to the immediate vicinity of the source.

導波路周辺の伝搬しない局在場は急速に減衰し、エネルギーを発生源のすぐ近くに閉じ込めます。

意味（1）

(electromagnetism) Of an oscillating electric or magnetic field: not propagating as an electromagnetic wave but having its energy spatially concentrated in the vicinity of its source.

Consequently, the electromagnetic fields have plane-wave characteristics in local regions, except immediately adjacent to a caustic where there is a rapid transition from the wavelike behavior of the local plane-wave fields to the evanescent behavior beyond the ray path.

意味（2）

(mathematics) Of a number or value: diminishing to the point of reaching zero as a limit; infinitesimal.

[…] I choſe rather to reduce the demonſtrations of the following propoſitions to the firſt and laſt ſums and ratio's of naſcent and evaneſcent quantities, that is, to the limits of thoſe ſums and ratio's; […] Perhaps it may be objected, that there is no ultimate proportion of evaneſcent quantities; becauſe the proportion, before the quantities have vaniſhed, is not the ultimate, and when they are vaniſhed, is none. […] [B]y the ultimate ratio of evaneſcent quantities is to be underſtood the ratio of the quantities, not before they vaniſh, nor afterwards, but with which they vaniſh.

意味（3）

Barely there; almost imperceptible.

If the Fluids moving in an Evaneſcent Artery [i.e., a capillary] appear Globular, I ſuppose its becauſe the Canal is round, which alters the Caſe much.

意味（4）

Ephemeral, fleeting, momentary.

意味（5）

(botany) Of plant parts: shed after a period.

Upward it [the apennine adonis, probably the Pyrenean pheasant's eye (Adonis pyrenaica)] is of a pale green, with ſome Tinge of yellowiſh; and it is all the Way duſted with little grey tranſparent Globules. Theſe are the Extremities of ſo many round evaneſcent ſecretory Ducts; as the Hairs of other Plants are the more permanent Extremities of theirs.
