    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    physics The natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. piezoelectricity pion Planck constant Also called Planck's constant.

  4. List of physical quantities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_quantities

    The table usually lists only one name and symbol that is most commonly used. The final column lists some special properties that some of the quantities have, such as their scaling behavior (i.e. whether the quantity is intensive or extensive ), their transformation properties (i.e. whether the quantity is a scalar , vector , matrix or tensor ...

  5. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...

  6. Translation operator (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_operator...

    Since translation operators all commute with each other (see above), and since each component of the momentum operator is a sum of two scaled translation operators (e.g. ^ = (^ ((,,)) ^ ((,,)))), it follows that translation operators all commute with the momentum operator, i.e. ^ ^ = ^ ^ This commutation with the momentum operator holds true ...

    Physics is the natural science that studies matter, [b] its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. [115] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves. [c] [116] [117] [118] Planck constant

    The word "wave function" could mean one of following: A vector in Hilbert space which can represent a state; synonymous to "ket" or "state vector". The state vector in a specific basis. It can be seen as a covariant vector in this case.

  9. Translation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(geometry)

    In Euclidean geometry, a translation is a geometric transformation that moves every point of a figure, shape or space by the same distance in a given direction. A translation can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant vector to every point, or as shifting the origin of the coordinate system. In a Euclidean space, any translation is ...
