    The forward voltage drop (about 1.7 V for a red LED or 1.2V for an infrared) can be used instead of a Zener diode in low-voltage regulators. Red LEDs have the flattest I/V curve above the knee. Red LEDs have the flattest I/V curve above the knee.

    To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists some items with lengths between 10 −6 and 10 −5 m (between 1 and 10 micrometers, or μm). ~0.7–300 μm – wavelength of infrared radiation; 1 μm – the side of a square of area 10 −12 m 2; 1 μm – edge of cube of volume 10 −18 m 3 (1 fL)

  4. Supercooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercooling

    Per the established international definition, supercooling means ‘cooling a substance below the normal freezing point without solidification’ [4] [5] While it can be achieved by different physical means, the postponed solidification is most often due to the absence of seed crystals or nuclei around which a crystal structure can form. The ...

    The whole landscape of physics was changed with the discovery of Lorentz transformations, and this led to attempts to reconcile it with gravity. At the same time, experimental physicists started testing the foundations of gravity and relativity— Lorentz invariance , the gravitational deflection of light , the Eötvös experiment .
