  2. Planck relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_relation

    The Planck relation [1] [2] [3] (referred to as Planck's energy–frequency relation, [4] the Planck–Einstein relation, [5] Planck equation, [6] and Planck formula, [7] though the latter might also refer to Planck's law [8] [9]) is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics which states that the energy E of a photon, known as photon energy, is proportional to its frequency ν: =.

  3. Poynting vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting_vector

    If electromagnetic energy is not gained from or lost to other forms of energy within some region (e.g., mechanical energy, or heat), then electromagnetic energy is locally conserved within that region, yielding a continuity equation as a special case of Poynting's theorem: = where is the energy density of the electromagnetic field. This ...

  4. Quantization of the electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_of_the...

    Photons are massless particles of definite energy, definite momentum, and definite spin. To explain the photoelectric effect, Albert Einstein assumed heuristically in 1905 that an electromagnetic field consists of particles of energy of amount hν, where h is the Planck constant and ν is the wave frequency.

  5. Characteristic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_energy

    However, since the Sun's gravitational field is much stronger than Earth's, the two-body solution is insufficient. The characteristic energy with respect to Sun was negative, and MAVEN – instead of heading to infinity – entered an elliptical orbit around the Sun. But the maximal velocity on the new orbit could be approximated to 33.5 km/s ...

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  8. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    The important point of this is that the zero-point field energy H F does not affect the Heisenberg equation for a kλ since it is a c-number or constant (i.e. an ordinary number rather than an operator) and commutes with a kλ. We can therefore drop the zero-point field energy from the Hamiltonian, as is usually done.

  9. Coenergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coenergy

    In physics and engineering, Coenergy (or co-energy) is a non-physical quantity, measured in energy units, used in theoretical analysis of energy in physical systems. [ 1 ] The concept of co-energy can be applied to many conservative systems (inertial mechanical, electromagnetic, etc.), which can be described by a linear relationship between the ...
