  2. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

    The equation. The most general form of Cauchy's equation is. = 4 ⋯ {\displaystyle n (\lambda )=A+ {\frac {B} {\lambda ^ {2}}}+ {\frac {C} {\lambda ^ {4}}}+\cdots ,} where n is the refractive index, λ is the wavelength, A, B, C, etc., are coefficients that can be determined for a material by fitting the equation to measured refractive indices ...

  3. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

    Polycarbonate. Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed. Because of these properties, polycarbonates find many ...

  4. List of unsolved problems in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Some of the major unsolved problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomenon or experimental result. The others are experimental, meaning that there is a difficulty in creating an experiment to test a proposed theory or investigate a phenomenon in greater detail.

  5. Time–temperature superposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time–temperature...

    The time–temperature superposition principle is a concept in polymer physics and in the physics of glass-forming liquids. [1][2][3] This superposition principle is used to determine temperature-dependent mechanical properties of linear viscoelastic materials from known properties at a reference temperature.

  6. Polycarbonate (functional group) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate_(functional...

    Polycarbonate (functional group) A polycarbonate is an oxocarbon dianion consisting of a chain of carbonate units, where successive carbonyl groups are directly linked to each other by shared additional oxygen atoms. That is, they are the conjugate bases of polycarbonic acids, the conceptual anhydrides of carbonic acid , or polymers of carbon ...

    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] ‖ ‖ = | |.

  8. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2]

  9. Action principles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_principles

    Action principles are the basis for Feynman's version of quantum mechanics, general relativity and quantum field theory. The action principles have applications as broad as physics, including many problems in classical mechanics but especially in modern problems of quantum mechanics and general relativity. These applications built up over two ...
