  2. Radiation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure

    The radiation pressure force of the light circulating in the cavity can damp or amplify the oscillation of the mirror on the spring. Main articles: Cavity optomechanics and Laser cooling The reflection of a laser pulse from the surface of an elastic solid can give rise to various types of elastic waves that propagate inside the solid or liquid.

  3. Body force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_force

    A body force is simply a type of force, and so it has the same dimensions as force, [M][L][T] −2. However, it is often convenient to talk about a body force in terms of either the force per unit volume or the force per unit mass. If the force per unit volume is of interest, it is referred to as the force density throughout the system.

  4. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    where ρ f is the density of the fluid, V disp is the volume of the displaced body of liquid, and g is the gravitational acceleration at the location in question. If this volume of liquid is replaced by a solid body of exactly the same shape, the force the liquid exerts on it must be exactly the same as above.

  5. Photon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

    A photon (from Ancient Greek φῶς, φωτός (phôs, phōtós) 'light') is an elementary particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field, including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio waves, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.

  6. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    Beam of sun light inside the cavity of Rocca ill'Abissu at Fondachelli-Fantina, Sicily. The speed of light in vacuum is defined to be exactly 299 792 458 m/s (approximately 186,282 miles per second). The fixed value of the speed of light in SI units results from the fact that the metre is now defined in terms of the speed of light.

    These ends create thousands of tiny wounds in the skin, which puts the body's immune system into hyperdrive. Blood cells called macrophages go to the site of the wound and engulf the ink particles ...

  9. Lorentz force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force

    The term qE is called the electric force, while the term q(v × B) is called the magnetic force. [13] According to some definitions, the term "Lorentz force" refers specifically to the formula for the magnetic force, [ 14 ] with the total electromagnetic force (including the electric force) given some other (nonstandard) name.
