  2. Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Boltzmann...

    The term "particle" in this context refers to gaseous particles only (atoms or molecules), and the system of particles is assumed to have reached thermodynamic equilibrium. [1] The energies of such particles follow what is known as Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics , and the statistical distribution of speeds is derived by equating particle ...

  3. Light scattering by particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_scattering_by_particles

    Scattering from any spherical particles with arbitrary size parameter is explained by the Mie theory. Mie theory, also called Lorenz-Mie theory or Lorenz-Mie-Debye theory, is a complete analytical solution of Maxwell's equations for the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by spherical particles (Bohren and Huffman, 1998).

  4. Partition function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_function...

    Suppose a system is subdivided into N sub-systems with negligible interaction energy, that is, we can assume the particles are essentially non-interacting. If the partition functions of the sub-systems are ζ 1 , ζ 2 , ..., ζ N , then the partition function of the entire system is the product of the individual partition functions: Z = ∏ j ...

  5. Particle physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_physics

    Particle physics or high-energy physics is the study of fundamental particles and forces that constitute matter and radiation.The field also studies combinations of elementary particles up to the scale of protons and neutrons, while the study of combination of protons and neutrons is called nuclear physics.

  6. List of particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles

    Instantons are used in nonperturbative calculations of tunneling rates. Instantons have properties similar to particles, specific examples include: Calorons, finite temperature generalization of instantons. Merons, a field configuration which is a non-self-dual solution of the Yang–Mills field equation. The instanton is believed to be ...

  7. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    A solution describes a homogeneous mixture where the dispersed particles will not settle if the solution is left undisturbed for a prolonged period of time. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture where the dispersed particles have at least in one direction a dimension roughly between 1 nm and 1 μm or that in a system discontinuities are found at ...

    One particle: N particles: One dimension ^ = ^ + = + ^ = = ^ + (,,) = = + (,,) where the position of particle n is x n. = + = = +. (,) = /.There is a further restriction — the solution must not grow at infinity, so that it has either a finite L 2-norm (if it is a bound state) or a slowly diverging norm (if it is part of a continuum): [1] ‖ ‖ = | |.

    An online system named ePathshala, a joint initiative of NCERT and Ministry of Education, has been developed for broadcasting educational e-schooling resources including textbooks, audio, video, publications, and a variety of other print and non-print elements, [18] ensuring their free access through mobile phones and tablets (as EPUB) and from ...
