A purely speculative particle, which is presumed to travel faster than light. According to Einstein's equations of special relativity, a particle with an imaginary rest mass and a velocity greater than c would have a real momentum and energy. Ironically, the greater the kinetic energy of a tachyon, the slower it travels, approaching c asy [..]

A famous experiment which shows the wave nature of light (and indeed of other particles). Light is passed from a small source onto an opaque screen with two thin slits. The light is diffracted through these slits and develops an interference pattern on the other side of the screen. Navigation. Erik Max Francis -- TOP      Welcome to my homepage [..]

The ratio of the thermal conductivity of any pure metal to its electrical conductivity is approximately constant for any given temperature. This law holds fairly well except at low temperatures.

For a blackbody, the product of the wavelength corresponding to the maximum radiancy and the thermodynamic temperature is a constant, the Wien displacement law constant. As a result, as the temperature rises, the maximum of the radiant energy shifts toward the shorter wavelength (higher frequency and energy) end of the spectrum.

The constant of the Wien displacement law. It has the value 2.897 756 x 10-3 m K.

The derived SI unit of magnetic flux equal to the flux that, linking a circuit of one turn, produces in it an electromotive force of 1 V as it is reduced to zero at a uniform rate in a period of 1 s; it thus has units of V s.
