In atomic physics, spin–orbit coupling, also known as spin-pairing, describes a weak magnetic interaction, or coupling, of the particle spin and the orbital motion of this particle, e.g. the electron spin and its motion around an atomic nucleus. One of its effects is to separate the energy of internal states of the atom, e.g. spin-aligned and ...
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 ...
[9] [10] [11] amplitude The height of a wave as measured from its center (normal) position. angle of incidence In geometric optics, the angle between a ray incident on a surface and the line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence, called the normal. The ray can be formed by any wave: optical, acoustic, microwave, X-ray, etc.
We need to consider only the outer 3p 2 electrons, for which it can be shown (see term symbols) that the possible terms allowed by the Pauli exclusion principle are 1 D , 3 P , and 1 S. Hund's first rule now states that the ground state term is 3 P, which has S = 1. The superscript 3 is the value of the multiplicity = 2S + 1 = 3.
[note 7] In Newtonian mechanics, if two bodies have momenta and respectively, then the total momentum of the pair is = +, and the rate of change of is = +. By Newton's second law, the first term is the total force upon the first body, and the second term is the total force upon the second body.

Various quantization schemes have been proposed to resolve this ambiguity, [4] of which the most popular is the Weyl quantization scheme. Nevertheless, the Groenewold–van Hove theorem dictates that no perfect quantization scheme exists.
The House of Representatives is likely to again be under GOP rule next year, cementing a unified control of power across Washington in 2025.
