  2. Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics

    Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736–1813). In physics, Lagrangian mechanics is a formulation of classical mechanics founded on the stationary-action principle (also known as the principle of least action).

  3. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    In a prism, the angle of deviation (δ) decreases with increase in the angle of incidence (i) up to a particular angle.This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δ min, D λ, or D m).

  4. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    The law was formulated by Josef Stefan in 1879 and later derived by Ludwig Boltzmann. The formula E = σT 4 is given, where E is the radiant heat emitted from a unit of area per unit time, T is the absolute temperature, and σ = 5.670 367 × 10 −8 W·m −2 ⋅K −4 is the Stefan–Boltzmann constant. [28]

  5. Quantum error correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_error_correction

    The error-correction demonstration was performed on Schrodinger-cat states encoded in a superconducting resonator, and employed a quantum controller capable of performing real-time feedback operations including read-out of the quantum information, its analysis, and the correction of its detected errors. The work demonstrated how the quantum ...

  6. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    The Fresnel equations (or Fresnel coefficients) describe the reflection and transmission of light (or electromagnetic radiation in general) when incident on an interface between different optical media.

  7. Spectrophotometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrophotometry

    Spectrophotometric data can also be used in conjunction with the Beer–Lambert Equation, = ⁡ = =, to determine various relationships between transmittance and concentration, and absorbance and concentration.

  8. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    Therefore, leakage from the terminal determines the maximum voltage attainable. In the Van de Graaff generator, the belt allows the transport of charge into the interior of a large hollow spherical electrode. This is the ideal shape to minimize leakage and corona discharge, so the Van de Graaff generator can produce the greatest voltage.

  9. Turbo generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_generator

    The rotor of a turbo generator is a non-salient pole type usually with two poles. [5] The normal speed of a turbo generator is 1500 or 3000 rpm with four or two poles at 50 Hz (1800 or 3600 rpm with four or two poles at 60 Hz). The rotating parts of a turbo generator are subjected to high mechanical stresses because of the high operation speed.
