Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre ...

Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing ...

Many live vicariously through their favorite film and television characters. They aspire to be the fifth friend to hang out ...

The reflection and refraction of SH plane wave at the interface between two inhomogeneous half-spaces are studied in this paper, where the distributions of shear modulus and mass density all obey the ...

Time reflections, or spatial reflections, occur when "electromagnetic radiation in the form of light or sound waves hit a mirror or wall, respectively," resulting in a reflection, like a mirror ...

We study the reflection and transmission coefficients of plane waves incident at an interface between two isotropic thermoelastic half spaces and compare them with those of the elastic case. The ...

In this paper, we first review the general governing equations for plane waves in an anisotropic medium. Next, the equal-wave-speed criteria in cubic materials are derived. Furthermore, we provide a ...

GK Questions & Answers on Physics: Reflection of Light Set 1 Light is a form of energy without it we cannot see things around us. Light enables us to see objects from which it comes or from which ...

Innumerable reflections effectively merge into a discrete reflected wave, as seen from the aortic root, increasing aortic pulse pressure and left ventricular pulsatile afterload. With increasing PWV, ...
