    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveplate

    where the f and s axes are the quarter-wave plate's fast and slow axes, respectively, the wave propagates along the z axis, and E f and E s are real. The effect of the quarter-wave plate is to introduce a phase shift term e iΓ =e iπ/2 = i between the f and s components of the wave, so that upon exiting the crystal the wave is now given by

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    physics The natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. piezoelectricity pion Planck constant Also called Planck's constant.

  5. Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

    Physics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. [1] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. [2] [3] [4] A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.

  6. Advancing Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advancing_Physics

    Advancing Physics is an A-level physics course examined by OCR which was developed in association with the Institute of Physics (IOP) with assessment through written examinations and teacher-assessed coursework. It may also be referred to Physics 'B' to distinguish it from OCR's other A-Level Physics course.

  7. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    The p z orbital is the same as the p 0 orbital, but the p x and p y are formed by taking linear combinations of the p +1 and p −1 orbitals (which is why they are listed under the m = ±1 label). Also, the p +1 and p −1 are not the same shape as the p 0 , since they are pure spherical harmonics .

  8. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

  9. Node (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(physics)

    Another such quantum mechanical concept is the particle in a box where the number of nodes of the wavefunction can help determine the quantum energy state—zero nodes corresponds to the ground state, one node corresponds to the 1st excited state, etc. In general, [5] If one arranges the eigenstates in the order of increasing energies ...
