[12] and is stable. A photon has two possible polarization states and is described by exactly three continuous parameters: the components of its wave vector‚ which determine its wavelength λ and its direction of propagation. The photon is the gauge boson for electromagnetism‚[13] and therefore all other quantum numbers of the photon (such as lepton number‚ baryon number‚ and flavour quantum numbers) are zero.[14] Photons are emitted in many natural processes. For example‚ when a charge is accelerated

There are two main points of view surrounding this question and it is necessary to convey each belief and gain an informed outlook over both. Some people believing in the importance of exploring our solar system and in space exploration in general‚ and others arguing that it is unnecessary and a largely prominent section of these people believing that it is a waste of money and time. Both of these views are supported by strong pieces of proof and evidence and it is imperative to grasp each belief

Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines‚ perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia‚ physics was a part of natural philosophy along with chemistry‚ certain branches of mathematics‚ and

The Large Hadron Collider – Will the findings benefit humankind? The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC project started on 10 September 2008 and is made up of a 27-kilometer ring of superconducting magnets‚ with accelerating structures that help boost the energy of particles along the way of the magnet. The LHC was built in collaboration of 10 000 scientists and engineers from 100 countries. The LHC can be found in a 27-kilometer tunnel (in circumference)
