The trivial case of the angular momentum of a body in an orbit is given by = where is the mass of the orbiting object, is the orbit's frequency and is the orbit's radius.. The angular momentum of a uniform rigid sphere rotating around its axis, instead, is given by = where is the sphere's mass, is the frequency of rotation and is the sphere's radius.
where is the mass of the rigid body; ¯ is the velocity of the center of mass of the rigid body, as viewed by an observer fixed in an inertial frame N; ¯ is the angular momentum of the rigid body about the center of mass, also taken in the inertial frame N; and is the angular velocity of the rigid body R relative to the inertial frame N.

The effect also demonstrated the close relation between the notions of angular momentum in classical and in quantum physics. The effect was predicted [1] by O. W. Richardson in 1908. It is named after Albert Einstein and Wander Johannes de Haas, who published two papers [2] [3] in 1915 claiming the first experimental observation of the effect.
An experiment in 2011 demonstrated OAM multiplexing of two incoherent radio signals over a distance of 442 m. [5] It has been claimed that OAM does not improve on what can be achieved with conventional linear-momentum based RF systems which already use MIMO, since theoretical work suggests that, at radio frequencies, conventional MIMO techniques can be shown to duplicate many of the linear ...
The Stern–Gerlach experiment was the first direct evidence of angular-momentum quantization in quantum mechanics, [23] and it strongly influenced later developments in modern physics: In the decade that followed, scientists showed using similar techniques, that the nuclei of some atoms also have quantized angular momentum. [20]
The angular momentum is = ^ which holds for any thin, circularly symmetric disk with mass ; = / for a disk with mass concentrated at the rim, = / for a uniform disk (like Euler disk), is the radius of the disk, and is the angular velocity along ^.
A diagram of angular momentum. Showing angular velocity (Scalar) and radius. In physics, angular mechanics is a field of mechanics which studies rotational movement. It studies things such as angular momentum, angular velocity, and torque. It also studies more advanced things such as Coriolis force [1] and Angular aerodynamics.
In quantum mechanics and its applications to quantum many-particle systems, notably quantum chemistry, angular momentum diagrams, or more accurately from a mathematical viewpoint angular momentum graphs, are a diagrammatic method for representing angular momentum quantum states of a quantum system allowing calculations to be done symbolically.
