  2. Radiative equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_equilibrium

    Following Max Planck (1914), [4] a radiative field is often described in terms of specific radiative intensity, which is a function of each geometrical point in a space region, at an instant of time. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] This is slightly different from Prevost's mode of definition, which was for regions of space.

  3. Inverse-square law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law

    The divergence of a vector field which is the resultant of radial inverse-square law fields with respect to one or more sources is proportional to the strength of the local sources, and hence zero outside sources. Newton's law of universal gravitation follows an inverse-square law, as do the effects of electric, light, sound, and radiation ...

  4. Decay correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_correction

    Change the sign, to make it -1.0368, then find the "inverse Ln"; in this case 0.3546. This value is in the denominator of the decay correcting fraction, so it is the same as multiplying the numerator by its inverse ( 1 0.3546 {\displaystyle {1 \over 0.3546}} ), which is 2.82.

  5. List of equations in nuclear and particle physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    The following apply for the nuclear reaction: a + b ↔ R → c. in the centre of mass frame, where a and b are the initial species about to collide, c is the final species, and R is the resonant state.

  6. Radiative transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_transfer

    Equations of radiative transfer have application in a wide variety of subjects including optics, astrophysics, atmospheric science, and remote sensing. Analytic solutions to the radiative transfer equation (RTE) exist for simple cases but for more realistic media, with complex multiple scattering effects, numerical methods are required.

  7. Schwarzschild's equation for radiative transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild's_equation...

    Schwarzschild's equation alone says nothing about how much warming would be required to restore balance. When meteorologists and climate scientists refer to "radiative transfer calculations" or "radiative transfer equations" (RTE), the phenomena of emission and absorption are handled by numerical integration of Schwarzschild's equation over a ...

  8. Nuclear reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reaction

    Nuclear reactions may be shown in a form similar to chemical equations, for which invariant mass must balance for each side of the equation, and in which transformations of particles must follow certain conservation laws, such as conservation of charge and baryon number (total atomic mass number). An example of this notation follows:

  9. Decay scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_scheme

    The decay scheme of a radioactive substance is a graphical presentation of all the transitions occurring in a decay, and of their relationships. Examples are shown below. It is useful to think of the decay scheme as placed in a coordinate system, where the vertical axis is energy, increasing from bottom to top, and the horizontal axis is the proton number, increasing from left to right.
