61Luminosity — has different meanings in several different fields of science.In photometry and color imagingIn photometry, luminosity is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to luminance, which is the density of luminous intensity in a given direction. The SI… …

63Aharonov-Bohm effect — The Aharonov Bohm effect, sometimes called the Ehrenberg Siday Aharonov Bohm effect, is a quantum mechanical phenomenon by which a charged particle is affected by electromagnetic fields in regions from which the particle is excluded. Werner… …
64Thomson scattering — In physics, Thomson scattering is the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by acharged particle. The electric and magnetic components of theincident wave accelerate the particle. As it accelerates, it in turn emits radiation and thus, the wave …
65Plasma oscillation — Plasma oscillations, also known as Langmuir waves (after Irving Langmuir), are rapid oscillations of the electron density in conducting media such as plasmas or metals. The frequency only depends weakly on the wavelength. The quasiparticle… …
66Rigid rotor — The rigid rotor is a mechanical model that is used to explain rotating systems. An arbitrary rigid rotor is a 3 dimensional rigid object, such as a top. To orient such an object in space three angles are required. A special rigid rotor is the… …
67Classical electron radius — The classical electron radius, also known as the Lorentz radius or the Thomson scattering length, is based on a classical (i.e., non quantum) relativistic model of the electron. Its value is calculated as where e and me are the electric charge… …
68Abraham-Lorentz force — In the physics of electromagnetism, the Abraham Lorentz force is the recoil force on an accelerating charged particle caused by the particle emitting electromagnetic radiation. It is also called the radiation reaction force. The formula for the… …
69Gravitomagnetism — (sometimes Gravitoelectromagnetism, abbreviated GEM), refers to a set of formal analogies between Maxwell s field equations and an approximation to the Einstein field equations for general relativity, valid under certain conditions. For instance …
70Magnetic pressure — is an energy density associated with the magnetic field. It is identical to any other physical pressure except that it is carried by the magnetic field rather than (in the case of gas) kinetic energy of the gas molecules. Interplay between… …
