... fixed magnetic field in a plasma is analyzed by means of the quasilinear theory. We take account of the interaction between particles and waves that leads to a redistribution of the particles in velocity, causing damping which differs from that appearing in the linear theory. We obtain general formu ...

The visibility falls to approximately zero when the pathlength difference exceeds the coherence length, lc , which measures the maximum path difference for which the fringes are still observable. Or equiv ...

... Now suppose the wavelength were 1 micron (near-IR) and the aperture were 1 cm in diameter, then the aperture diffraction limited spot size would be 10-6 m/0.01m * 36,000 km = 3.6 km. This is a useful resolution. The GOES atmospheric sounder instrument observes the Earth in an IR window channel at ab ...

Thomas Young (scientist)
.jpg?width=300)
Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath and physician. Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He ""made a number of original and insightful innovations""in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work. He was mentioned by, among others, William Herschel, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein. Young has been described as ""The Last Man Who Knew Everything"".
