  • intermolecular short-range order

    C18-2 Responsible for effects like surface tension, liquid crystals WaitWhat where does buoyancy come from? GotIt surface tension.

  • a magnetic field can never do work on a particle

    C27-4 ProofDeferred GotIt This derivation follows trivially from the definition of work and Ørsted-Laplace-Thomson law: $F_\text{B} = q\vec{v}\times\vec{B}$, and $W = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{d}$ so over a duration $\partial t [!math] Mathematical Equation Visual: $$ $$ Spoken: When we read this, it is te...

  • Schrödinger equation

    C39-1 A empirical laws regarding quantum kinematics, which is a statement of law of conservation of energy.

  • Archimedes_ principle

    C14-3 when a body is completely or partially immersed in a fluid, the fluid exerts an upward force on the body equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body Note that this may generate a torque at the center of gravity of the object being floated.

  • Newton_s first law of motion

    C4-2 KeyConcept Claim Stated formally, When observed from an intertial frame, a body acted on by no net force exhibits: with constant (possibly zero) velocity, and zero acceleration.

  • Hooke_s law

    C6-3 Ideal spring Described by Robert Hooke describes force exterted by a spring under displacement. See the spring force [1] Srikumar, Keerthana.

  • the motion of light, and light propagation

    C33-1 Depending on the system geometry and optical surface properties of materials, the outcome of the interaction between an optical ray and a material system presents the following concerns: … under reflection … law of specular reflection Latin for mirror … diffuse reflection This is what causes t...

  • polarization of optical rays

    C33-5 A build, or part of an optical computing that produce electromagnetic wave polarization.

  • reflection of electromagnetic waves

    C32-5 Finally the index of refraction and observation implies that law of light transmission, and refraction and reflection of electromagnetic waves can happen simultaneously at a wave medium boundary, Analogy to WaitWhat GotIt how the dynamics of mechanical waves changes with mass density.

  • dynamics of mechanical waves

    C15-6 Here are the relevant formula … standing mechanical waves In the case where forced oscillation is occuring, the same motion is superimposed … principle of superposition of waves For two different wave pulse, their amplitude add.

  • subatomic particle collisions

    C25-1 A kind of collision between subatomic particle.

  • momentum

    C8-1 KeyConcept Definition Momentum is a vector quantity that can be used alongside impulse in order to describe interactions between bodies.

  • Lagrangian formulation

    Custom-1 The Lagrange equations apply the stationary-action principle to the Lagrangian of a mechanical system and its constraints, as permitted by Lagrangian Kinematics.

  • externality

    KeyConcept External Introduced in C4-3, a force is external to a body via a completely intuitive definition.

  • stress

    C11-4 WaitWhat — are there any elastic modulus under which stress is a vector quantity? GotIt C11-E 11.93 demonstrates finding stress for skew cross-sections, skew force applied.
