Quantum Mechanics in the Brain

Quantum Mechanics in the Brain

Quantum Mechanics in the Brain. The brain is a conglomeration of atomic constituents. Hence most scientists agree that it must in principle be treated quantum mechanically. However, Christof Koch and Klaus Hepp, in an influential2006 essay in Nature.

Supplemental Notes on Atmospheric Refraction

Supplemental Notes on Atmospheric Refraction

Supplemental Notes on Atmospheric Refraction. This document is intended to better explain parts of my presentation that were glossed over a bit during the talk. Recall that along a ray s path, p = r n sin(z), where p is the distance of the unrefracted.

Light Scattering

Light Scattering

Light Scattering. When a beam (light-, X-ray-, neutron-, electron-, ) passes through a transparent medium without absorption nevertheless an attenuation of the intensity of the passing beam is observed because particles hit by the incident beam can act.

Newton S 2Ndlaw of Motion (12.7)

Newton s 2ndLaw of Motion (12.7). Newton s First Law of Motion, (the law of inertia) states that the motion of an object will continue until an outside force changes this motion. The amount of force needed to change the motion of an object depends on.
