Results 1–7 of 7 for harmonička oscilacija
harmonic oscillation → harmonička oscilacija
Harmonic is an oscillation having a frequency is a simple multiple of a fundamental sinusoidal oscillation. The fundamental frequency of a sinusoidal oscillation is usually called the first harmonic. The second harmonic has a frequency twice that of the fundamental, and so on.
harmonic motion → harmoničko gibanje
Harmonic motion is caused by restoring force, acting on a body that is displaced from its equilibrium position. This force tries to put the body back in equilibrium. Usual examples are the motion of a body attached to elastic spring (see: Hooke’s law) and the motion of mathematical pendulum. The body undergoes periodic motion around the equilibrium point.
atomic clock → atomski sat
Atomic clock is an apparatus for standardizing time based on periodic phenomena within atoms or molecules (ammonia clock; caesium clock).
Curie temperature → Curiejeva temperatura
For a ferromagnetic material, Curie temperature or Curie point (TC) is the critical temperature above which the material becomes paramagnetic. For iron the Curie point is 760 °C and for nickel 356 °C. It was named after the French physicist Pierre Curie (1859-1906).
electromagnetic wave → elektromagnetski val
All matter absorbs and emits radiation covering a broad band of frequencies and wavelengths. Thus electromagnetic radiation has the velocity of light (2.998×108 ms-1) and arises from the vibrating electric charges in atoms and bonds. The range of wavelengths, also known as the electromagnetic spectrum, is shown below:
London’s force → Londonova sila
London’s force is an intermolecular attractive force that arises from a cooperative oscillation of electron clouds on a collection of molecules at close range.
