Is light a wave or a particle? Well, it's not a particle. The photoelectric effect can be explained with a wave model for light and a quantum model for matter.
Oregon’s PacWave testing facility is now complete, but delays and cuts to federal funding for renewable energy development ...
Researchers at Tampere University and the University of Eastern Finland have reached a milestone in a study where they derived a new kind of wave equation, which applies for accelerating waves ...
In quantum mechanics, we don't deal with equations of motion, we deal with probability. E is the energy of the particle and V is the potential energy of the system.
Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...
[3] Energy Decay for a Nonlinear Wave Equation of Variable Coefficients with Acoustic Boundary Conditions and a Time-Varying Delay in the Boundary Feedback. Nonlinear Analysis (2015).
(Phys.org) —One of the cornerstones of quantum physics is the Schrödinger equation, which describes what a system of quantum objects such as atoms and subatomic particles will do in the future ...
Ocean waves have as having huge potential as a source of renewable energy. Waves produce 50 trillion to 80 trillion watts of power worldwide – nearly two to three times the world’s current ...
A new tank at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Arvada could help humanity harvest the immense power of the ocean.
In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers have successfully followed a gravitational wave's complete journey from the infinite past to the infinite future as it encounters a black hole.
