light
what is the speed of light?
Solar water heating: Solar water heaters are simple, reliable, famous and widespread. They are probably the Low Carbon technology closest to being commercially practised. The most efficient designs concentrate solar radiation onto a small diameter tub
Compton Effect (A.H. Compton; 1923): The effect which describes those photons (that is the quantum of electromagnetic radiation) has momentum. The photon fired at a stationary particle, like an electron, will communicate momentum to t
Pseudoforce: The "force" that arises as an observer is plainly treating an accelerating frame as an inertial one.
Tardon: A particle that has a positive real mass and travels at a speed very less than c in all inertial frames.
Does solar radiation encompass a complete spectrum of all the forms of electromagnetic radiation?
Steradian: sr: The supplementary SI unit of solid angle stated as the solid central angle of a sphere which encloses a surface on the sphere equivalent to the square of the sphere's radius.
Tachyon: The purely speculative particle that is supposed to travel faster than light. According to Sir Einstein's equations of special relativity, a particle with imaginary rest mass and a velocity more than c would contain a real momentum and energy
Young's experiment: double-slit experiment (T. Young; 1801): A well-known experiment that exhibits the wave nature of light (and certainly of other particles). The light is passed from a small source into an opaque screen with the two thin slits. The
Stefan-Boltzmann law (Stefan, L. Boltzmann): The radiated power P (that is the rate of emission of electromagnetic energy) of a hot body is proportional to the radiating surface area, A, and the 4th power of the thermodynamic temperature, T. The const
Kepler's 1-2-3 law: The other formulation of Kepler's third law, that relates to the mass m of the primary to a secondary's angular velocity omega and semi major axis a: m o = omega2 a3
