  2. Radiation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure

    The backward acting force of pressure exerted on the front surface is thus larger than the force of pressure acting on the back. Hence, as the resultant of the two forces, there remains a force that counteracts the motion of the plate and that increases with the velocity of the plate. We will call this resultant 'radiation friction' in brief."

  3. Graviphoton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviphoton

    However, its crucial physical properties are analogous to a (massive) photon: it induces a "vector force", sometimes dubbed a "fifth force". The electromagnetic potential A μ {\displaystyle A_{\mu }} emerges from an extra component of the metric tensor g μ 5 {\displaystyle g_{\mu 5}} , where the figure 5 labels an additional, fifth dimension .

  4. Photon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

    According to VMD, the photon is a superposition of the pure electromagnetic photon, which interacts only with electric charges, and vector mesons, which mediate the residual nuclear force. [108] However, if experimentally probed at very short distances, the intrinsic structure of the photon appears to have as components a charge-neutral flux of ...

    Gravity field surrounding Earth from a macroscopic perspective. Newton's law of universal gravitation can be written as a vector equation to account for the direction of the gravitational force as well as its magnitude. In this formula, quantities in bold represent vectors.

  6. Static forces and virtual-particle exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_forces_and_virtual...

    The force exerted by one mass on another and the force exerted by one charge on another are strikingly similar. Both fall off as the square of the distance between the bodies. Both are proportional to the product of properties of the bodies, mass in the case of gravitation and charge in the case of electrostatics. They also have a striking ...

  7. Quantization of the electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_of_the...

    The photon having non-zero linear momentum, one could imagine that it has a non-vanishing rest mass m 0, which is its mass at zero speed. However, we will now show that this is not the case: m 0 = 0. Since the photon propagates with the speed of light, special relativity is called for. The relativistic expressions for energy and momentum ...

  8. Photon gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_gas

    This force will be equal to the pressure times the cross sectional area (A) of the piston. This process can be continued at a constant temperature until the photon gas is at a volume V 0. Integrating the force over the distance (x) traveled yields the total work done to create this photon gas at this volume

  9. Exertion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exertion

    In physics, exertion is the expenditure of energy against, or inductive of, inertia as described by Isaac Newton's third law of motion. In physics, force exerted equivocates work done. [3] The ability to do work can be either positive or negative depending on the direction of exertion relative to gravity.
