  2. Correspondence principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_principle

    The generalized principle applies correspondence across aspects of a complete theory, not just a single formula as in the classical limit correspondence. [ 16 ] : 17 For example, Albert Einstein in his 1905 work on relativity noted that classical mechanics relied on Galilean relativity while electromagnetism did not, and yet both work well.

  3. Correspondence principle (sociology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_principle...

    The correspondence principle is broadly aligned with the conflict theory approach to sociology, which originated with Karl Marx.Marx's said that there is a social class division in capitalist society, between on the one hand a small percentage of the population who are capitalists, owning the means of production, and on the other workers, who sell their labor power to the capitalists.

  4. Old quantum theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_quantum_theory

    The motivation for the old quantum condition was the correspondence principle, complemented by the physical observation that the quantities which are quantized must be adiabatic invariants. Given Planck's quantization rule for the harmonic oscillator, either condition determines the correct classical quantity to quantize in a general system up ...

    Nevertheless, as explained in the introduction, for states that are highly localized in space, the expected position and momentum will approximately follow classical trajectories, which may be understood as an instance of the correspondence principle. Similarly, we can obtain the instantaneous change in the position expectation value.

  6. Correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence

    Correspondence principle (physics): quantum physics theories must agree with classical physics theories when applied to large quantum numbers; Correspondence principle (sociology), the relationship between social class and available education; Correspondence problem (computer vision), finding depth information in stereography

  7. Correspondence principle (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_principle...

    The correspondence principle is a concept in quantum theory and relativity. Correspondence principle may also refer to: Correspondence principle (sociology), correspondence between social class and available education; In public finance, the principle that identifies the places where it is beneficial to provide public goods and services

  8. Mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanics

    The correspondence principle states that the behavior of systems described by quantum theories reproduces classical physics in the limit of large quantum numbers, i.e. if quantum mechanics is applied to large systems (for e.g. a baseball), the result would almost be the same if classical mechanics had been applied. Quantum mechanics has ...

  9. Correspondence theory of truth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_theory_of_truth

    Correspondence theory is a traditional model which goes back at least to some of the ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. [2] [3] This class of theories holds that the truth or the falsity of a representation is determined solely by how it relates to a reality; that is, by whether it accurately describes that reality.
