Since Newton formulated his laws of motion and gravitation, people have tried to explain the why of those astronomical motions in terms of more basic natural laws (like the law of gravity) assuming that the astronomical objects were composed of material like that of earth and obeyed the same natural ...

... Part 1: Snell’s Law Different materials/media bend light differently according to their respective indices of refraction (n). Snell’s Law relates the index if refraction of a medium to the resulting angle (θ2) of light for a given incident beam at angle θ1: n1 sin( 1 ) n2 sin( 2 ) Air has an in ...

Gravitational potential energy
... Notation: =0 means solar abundance. [ ] denotes logarithmic ratio. At very early times, [Fe/H]=negative (e.g. =-1.5) since the heavy elements have not be created yet, Type II Supernovae occur at earlier times. They produce both O and Fe and so [O/Fe] is zero. At later times, Type I Supernovae make m ...
