Describes an alternative approach to the interpretation of the first-order perturbation results of the article `Why the speed of light is reduced in a transparent medium,' by Mary B. James and David Griffiths. Focus on the first-order electric field; Reduction in phase velocity; Features ...
Why would time slow down at the speed of light? Why does light slow down in a denser medium? In a vacuum, electricity travels at the speed of light, than why can't we demonstrate the Theory of Relativity (time slows nearing light speed)? Why the velocity of ...
Refraction is a phenomena in which a light or a wave is deflected when passing from a medium to another medium, from air to glass, air to water, water to glass, etc. The deflection or how bend the light from its normal path depends on the index of refraction...
How the light comes from the Sun to the Earth? Describe matter waves. Why is time frozen from light's perspective? Why do photons have different masses? Why do objects gain mass while approaching the speed of light? When a wave crosses a surface at an angle from one medium into another...
As one side of the crest enters a different material it changes speed. When different parts of the wave are traveling at different speeds the wave front as a whole changes direction. Top: a section of the wave starts to hit the boundary between two materials. Middle and Bottom: In the s...
If you split light into two perpendicular components and bring them back together, they will produce an interference pattern. If there’s a medium that light is traveling through, the interference pattern should depend on how your apparatus is oriented relative to that motion. If the speed of ...
But the question remains of why it works perfectly for radians. How do we know that we can replace sin(dx) with just dx without any kind of conversion applied like we need for degrees? It's not good enough to just say that we can see that sin(d...
Explanations of why nocturnal insects fly erratically around fires and lamps have included theories of “lunar navigation” and “escape to the light”. However, without three-dimensional flight data to test them rigorously, the cause for this odd behavi
Pregnancy and motherhood are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and rewarding experiences in a woman’s life. However, the physical toll that comes with it—stretch marks, sagging skin, and changes in breast size—can be a source of frustration for many. This is where the mommy makeover ...
All in all, it's a classic poster-boy for the genre of light-medium weight euros, and serves as an excellent model of this form of game. If there are criticisms to make, it's that there's not a huge amount of interaction, but this is redeemed somewhat by the nifty draft mechanis...
