... NAREVICIUS, MARK RAIZEN, Center for Nonlinear Dynamics and Department of Physics, The University of Texas at Austin — We report on a new method of laser cooling and phase space compression which does not rely on the momentum transfer between many photons and an atom. Whereas most laser cooling techn ...

Simple harmonic motion
... 22. The projection of uniform circular motion of a particle over any diameter of the circle is in SHM. 23. If two simple harmonic motions of same amplitude and frequency at right angles to each other are superposed, the resulting motion will be linear if the phase difference is 0 and circular if the ...

Nuclear Physics
... In 1924, Louis de Broglie proposed that all particles behave to an extent like waves. In 1926, Erwin Schrödinger used this idea to develop a mathematical model of the atom that described the electrons as three-dimensional waveforms rather than point particles. A consequence of using waveforms to des ...

History of physics

Physics (from the Ancient Greek φύσις physis meaning ""nature"") is the fundamental branch of science that developed out of the study of nature and philosophy known, until around the end of the 19th century, as ""natural philosophy"". Today, physics is ultimately defined as the study of matter, energy and the relationships between them. Physics is, in some senses, the oldest and most basic pure science; its discoveries find applications throughout the natural sciences, since matter and energy are the basic constituents of the natural world. The other sciences are generally more limited in their scope and may be considered branches that have split off from physics to become sciences in their own right. Physics today may be divided loosely into classical physics and modern physics.
