Sentences with phrase «defined as particles»

Not exact matches

Instead of using classical concepts of precisely defined x and p we will now say that the wave function describes the state of the particle as accurately as possible.

Thus, x may be relatively well defined but not p or vice-versa, depending on the particular experimental arrangements, such as the microscope and the particles that are used.

The set of primitive entities is defined as the union of the sets of all point of space, all instants of time, and all particles of matter.

As the universe first influences the percipient subject it is not yet parceled out into distinct objects, chunks of matter, particles or any other merely spatially defined phenomena.

Often we go even further and identify the objects of our experience as constellations of the particles defined by science.

This translates into a particle having a well - defined property such as spin before it is measured.

Microplastics are defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters in size.

In that limit he found the equation describing the system is the same as Schrödinger's, with the disk itself being described by the analog of the wave function that defines the distribution of possible positions of a quantum particle.

«We suspect that water bound within sea salt, known as hydrates, play a significant role in defining the hygroscopicity of inorganic sea spray aerosol, If true, it means that the particles would take up less water because of the water already present as hydrates and, as a result, they would grow less.

In physics, heat is a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms, molecules and other particles which comprise matter; generally defined as energy in motion.

When we science writers describe string theory, we usually trot out something like this: The theory defines the fundamental constituents of physical reality not as minuscule particles but as shimmying strands of energy less than a trillionth of a trillionth the size of an atom.

Over the years, physicists have conjured new, short - lived and typically supersized elements (as defined by their atomic number, or proton count) by smashing atomic nuclei together in particle accelerators.

The MoU will provide a structured framework for cooperation across a broad range of issues of common interest, with emphasis on consolidating and further developing the European Research Area and facilitating the implementation of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, as defined by the CERN Council.

Genuine multi-particle entanglement Physically, entangled particles can not be described as individual particles with defined states, but only as a complete system.

Clay particles, defined as having a size less than 1 - 2 microns, have a very large surface area relative to their size.

Matter can simultaneously be defined as a solid (particle) and as an immaterial force field (wave).

From Reference [10], «[t] he table below gives estimates of the particle flux at a time of minimum sunspot activity (when the flux is highest, as in 1965, 1977, 1987 [listed under the heading «max» in the table below]-RRB- and also (in italics) for a period of near maximum solar activity (low flux — though there is no well - defined absolute minimum [listed under the heading «min» in the table below]-RRB-... [The fluxes in columns 2 through 5] are quoted for protons and....

Cosmic rays are specifically defined as high speed atomic nuclei, mostly protons and alpha particles, but other heavier particles can be found as well.

Real Climate defines «aerosols» as ``... solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, consisting of (in rough order of abundance): sea salt, mineral dust, inorganic salts such as ammonium sulfate (which has natural as well as anthropogenic sources from e.g. coal burning), and carbonaceous aerosol such as soot, plant emissions, and incompletely combusted fossil fuel.»

«Temperature» is not «Heat»: a cubic metre of space near Earth's orbit has a «temperature» (as defined by the particle speeds) of some millions of degrees, but an astronaut would freeze to death without a proper thermal stabilisation system (vide the Apollo 13 movie!)

The role of aerosols, defined as minute particles suspended in the atmosphere, is one example.
