  2. Hill reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_reaction

    A diagram of the Hill reaction which shows with the usage of an artificial electron acceptor such as DCPIP, and the chloroplast is subjected to light there is a release of oxygen, Also with the absence of CO 2 there is no sugar production A diagram of the Hill reaction taking place under dark conditions there is no oxygen emitted and the no ...

  3. Hill sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_sphere

    [4] [verification needed] A more complex example is the one at right, the Earth's Hill sphere, which extends between the Lagrange points L 1 and L 2, [clarification needed] which lie along the line of centers of the Earth and the more massive Sun. [not verified in body] The gravitational influence of the less massive body is least in that ...

  4. Physics of optical holography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_Optical_Holography

    A simple hologram [2] [3]: Section 3.2 can be made by superimposing two plane waves from the same light source on a light recording medium such as a photographic emulsion. The two waves interfere, giving a straight-line fringe pattern whose intensity varies sinusoidally across the medium. The spacing of the fringe pattern is determined by the ...

  5. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity.Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations.

  6. World line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_line

    The concept of a "world line" is distinguished from concepts such as an "orbit" or a "trajectory" (e.g., a planet's orbit in space or the trajectory of a car on a road) by inclusion of the dimension time, and typically encompasses a large area of spacetime wherein paths which are straight perceptually are rendered as curves in spacetime to show ...

  7. History of Solar System formation and evolution hypotheses

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Solar_System...

    This model posits that, 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System was formed by the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud spanning several light-years. Many stars, including the Sun, were formed within this collapsing cloud. The gas that formed the Solar System was slightly more massive than the Sun itself.

  8. Matter wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave

    Optically shaped matter waves Optical manipulation of matter plays a critical role in matter wave optics: "Light waves can act as refractive, reflective, and absorptive structures for matter waves, just as glass interacts with light waves." [72] Laser light momentum transfer can cool matter particles and alter the internal excitation state of ...

  9. Patterns in nature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature

    Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form found in the natural world. These patterns recur in different contexts and can sometimes be modelled mathematically . Natural patterns include symmetries , trees , spirals , meanders , waves , foams , tessellations , cracks and stripes. [ 1 ]
