  2. Dicke model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicke_model

    The Dicke model is a quantum mechanical model that describes the coupling between a single-mode cavity and two-level systems, or equivalently spin-1/2 degrees of freedom. . The model was first introduced in 1973 by K. Hepp and E. H. Lieb

  3. Floquet theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floquet_theory

    Floquet theory is a branch of the theory of ordinary differential equations relating to the class of solutions to ... to shed light on the quantum electrodynamics of ...

  4. Quantization of the electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    The energy content of this volume element at 5 km from the station is 2.1 × 1010 × 0.109 = 2.3 × 10 −11 J, which amounts to 3.4 × 10 14 photons per (). Since 3.4 × 10 14 > 1, quantum effects do not play a role. The waves emitted by this station are well-described by the classical limit and quantum mechanics is not needed.

  5. Numerical aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_aperture

    As a pencil of light goes through a flat plane of glass, its half-angle changes to θ 2. Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same: NA = n 1 sin θ 1 = n 2 sin θ 2. In optics, the numerical aperture (NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that characterizes the range of angles over which the system can accept or ...

  6. Snell's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell's_law

    Refraction of light at the interface between two media of different refractive indices, with n 2 > n 1.Since the velocity is lower in the second medium (v 2 < v 1), the angle of refraction θ 2 is less than the angle of incidence θ 1; that is, the ray in the higher-index medium is closer to the normal.

  7. Rayleigh–Ritz method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Ritz_method

    In numerical linear algebra, the Rayleigh–Ritz method is commonly [12] applied to approximate an eigenvalue problem = for the matrix of size using a projected matrix of a smaller size <, generated from a given matrix with orthonormal columns. The matrix version of the algorithm is the most simple:

  8. Balmer series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmer_series

    where λ is the wavelength of the absorbed/emitted light and R H is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen. The Rydberg constant is seen to be equal to ⁠ 4 / B ⁠ in Balmer's formula, and this value, for an infinitely heavy nucleus, is ⁠ 4 / 3.645 0682 × 10 −7 m ⁠ = 10 973 731 .57 m −1 .

  9. Light - Wikipedia

    Another example is incandescent light bulbs, which emit only around 10% of their energy as visible light and the remainder as infrared. A common thermal light source in history is the glowing solid particles in flames, but these also emit most of their radiation in the infrared and only a fraction in the visible spectrum.
