  2. Inward light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inward_light

    [11] The term inward light was first used by early Friends to refer to Christ's light shining on them; the term inner light has also been used since the twentieth century to describe this Quaker doctrine. Rufus Jones, in 1904, wrote that: "The Inner Light is the doctrine that there is something Divine, 'Something of God' in the human soul". [12]

  3. Kasha's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasha's_rule

    A corollary of Kasha's rule is the Vavilov rule, which states that the quantum yield of luminescence is generally independent of the excitation wavelength. [4] [7] This can be understood as a consequence of the tendency – implied by Kasha's rule – for molecules in upper states to relax to the lowest excited state non-radiatively.

  4. Postulates of special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postulates_of_special...

    Mathematically, each physical law can be expressed with respect to the coordinates given by an inertial frame of reference by a mathematical equation (for instance, a differential equation) which relates the various coordinates of the various objects in the spacetime. A typical example is Maxwell's equations. Another is Newton's first law. 1.

  5. Special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity

    In physics, the special theory of relativity, or special relativity for short, is a scientific theory of the relationship between space and time.In Albert Einstein's 1905 paper, On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, the theory is presented as being based on just two postulates: [p 1] [1] [2]

  6. Right to light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_light

    A right to light can also be granted expressly by deed, or granted implicitly, for example under the rule in Wheeldon v. Burrows (1879). In England, the rights to ancient lights are most usually acquired under the Prescription Act 1832. In American common law the doctrine died out during the 19th century, and is generally no longer recognized.

  7. Legal doctrine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_doctrine

    A legal doctrine is a framework, set of rules, procedural steps, or test, often established through precedent in the common law, through which judgments can be determined in a given legal case. For example, a doctrine comes about when a judge makes a ruling where a process is outlined and applied, and allows for it to be equally applied to like ...

  8. Elias Hicks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias_Hicks

    Elias Hicks argued that Inward Light in each individual is the primary focus of an individual’s faith over creed or doctrine, [12] which follows George Fox and early Quaker concepts of inward light as “the presence of Christ in the heart,” God’s presence in each person, and the Holy Spirit speaking through each

  9. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    This example shows the general principle using visible light as a specific example. A white light source—emitting light of multiple wavelengths—is focused on a sample (the pairs of complementary colors are indicated by the yellow dotted lines). Upon striking the sample, photons that match the energy gap of the molecules present (green light ...
