  2. Deep inelastic scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_inelastic_scattering

    Feynman diagram representing deep inelastic scattering of a lepton (l) on a hadron (h), at leading order in perturbative expansion. The virtual photon (γ * ) knocks a quark (q) out of the hadron. In particle physics , deep inelastic scattering is the name given to a process used to probe the insides of hadrons (particularly the baryons , such ...

  3. Inelastic scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inelastic_scattering

    Inelastic scattering is common in molecular collisions. Any collision which leads to a chemical reaction will be inelastic, but the term inelastic scattering is reserved for those collisions which do not result in reactions. [3] There is a transfer of energy between the translational mode (kinetic energy) and rotational and vibrational modes.

  4. Price elasticity of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand

    Breadth of definition: The broader the definition of a good (or service), the lower the elasticity, because it is no longer possible to . For example, McDonalds hamburgers will probably have a relatively high elasticity of demand (as customers can switch to other fast-food options), whereas food in general will have an extremely low elasticity ...

  5. Electron energy loss spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_energy_loss...

    Here mfp is the mean free path of electron inelastic scattering, which has been tabulated for most elemental solids and oxides. [ 14 ] The spatial resolution of this procedure is limited by the plasmon localization and is about 1 nm, [ 6 ] meaning that spatial thickness maps can be measured in scanning transmission electron microscopy with ~1 ...

  6. High resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_resolution_electron...

    From the measured data an intensity versus energy loss diagram is established. In the case of scattering by phonons the so-called energy loss can also be a gain of energy (similar to anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy). These energy losses allow, using comparison to other experiments or theory, one to draw conclusions about surface properties of a ...

    Meaning SI unit of measure alpha: alpha particle: angular acceleration: radian per second squared (rad/s 2) fine-structure constant: unitless beta: velocity in terms of the speed of light c: unitless beta particle: gamma: Lorentz factor: unitless photon: gamma ray: shear strain: radian

  8. AP Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Physics

    AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics 1 are both introductory college-level courses in mechanics, with the former recognized by more universities. [1] The AP Physics C: Mechanics exam includes a combination of conceptual questions, algebra-based questions, and calculus-based questions, while the AP Physics 1 exam includes only conceptual and algebra-based questions.

  9. Fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives of position - Wikipedia

    Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.
