  3. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    Maxwell's equations, or Maxwell–Heaviside equations, are a set of coupled partial differential equations that, together with the Lorentz force law, form the foundation of classical electromagnetism, classical optics, electric and magnetic circuits. The equations provide a mathematical model for electric, optical, and radio technologies, such ...

  4. Violet (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_(color)

    Violet is closely associated with purple. In optics, violet is a spectral color (referring to the color of different single wavelengths of light), whereas purple is the color of various combinations of red and blue (or violet) light, [5] [6] some of which humans perceive as similar to violet.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clairaut's_equation

    t. e. In mathematical analysis, Clairaut's equation (or the Clairaut equation) is a differential equation of the form. where is continuously differentiable. It is a particular case of the Lagrange differential equation. It is named after the French mathematician Alexis Clairaut, who introduced it in 1734. [1]

    List of equations in classical mechanics 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] The subject is based upon a three-dimensional Euclidean space with fixed axes, called a frame of reference ...

  7. Electromagnetic wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_wave_equation

    Electromagnetic wave equation. The electromagnetic wave equation is a second-order partial differential equation that describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a medium or in a vacuum. It is a three-dimensional form of the wave equation. The homogeneous form of the equation, written in terms of either the electric field E or ...

  8. Eikonal equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eikonal_equation

    The physical meaning of the eikonal equation is related to the formula. E=−∇V,{\displaystyle \mathbf {E} =- abla V,} where E{\displaystyle \mathbf {E} }is the electric field strength, and V{\displaystyle V}is the electric potential. There is a similar equation for velocity potential in fluid flow and temperature in heat transfer.

  9. Maxwell–Bloch equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Bloch_equations

    Maxwell–Bloch equations. The Maxwell–Bloch equations, also called the optical Bloch equations [1] describe the dynamics of a two-state quantum system interacting with the electromagnetic mode of an optical resonator. They are analogous to (but not at all equivalent to) the Bloch equations which describe the motion of the nuclear magnetic ...
