  2. Hanle effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanle_effect

    The effect is named after Wilhelm Hanle, who was the first to explain the effect, in terms of classical physics, in Zeitschrift für Physik in 1924. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Initially, the causes of the effect were controversial, and many theorists mistakenly thought it was a version of the Faraday effect .

  3. Landau–Zener formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landau–Zener_formula

    The Landau–Zener formula is an analytic solution to the equations of motion governing the transition dynamics of a two-state quantum system, with a time-dependent Hamiltonian varying such that the energy separation of the two states is a linear function of time. The formula, giving the probability of a diabatic (not adiabatic) transition ...

  4. Avoided crossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoided_crossing

    In quantum physics and quantum chemistry, an avoided crossing (AC, sometimes called intended crossing, [1] non-crossing or anticrossing) is the phenomenon where two eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix representing a quantum observable and depending on continuous real parameters cannot become equal in value ("cross") except on a manifold of dimension . [2]

  5. Crossing (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In quantum field theory, a branch of theoretical physics, crossing is the property of scattering amplitudes that allows antiparticles to be interpreted as particles going backwards in time. Crossing states that the same formula that determines the S-matrix elements and scattering amplitudes for particle to scatter with and produce particle and ...

    A Magic Triangle image mnemonic - when the terms of Ohm's law are arranged in this configuration, covering the unknown gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. It can be adapted to similar equations e.g. F = ma, v = fλ, E = mcΔT, V = π r 2 h and τ = rF sinθ.

  7. Formulations of special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formulations_of_special...

    Hsu and Hsu claimed that measuring time in units of distance allowed them to develop a theory of relativity without using the second postulate in their derivation. It is the principle of relativity, that Hsu & Hsu say, when applied to 4D spacetime, implies the invariance of the 4D-spacetime interval =.

  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.

    In this example the time measured in the frame on the vehicle, t, is known as the proper time. The proper time between two events - such as the event of light being emitted on the vehicle and the event of light being received on the vehicle - is the time between the two events in a frame where the events occur at the same location.
