(infrarosso (sostantivo))
infrarosso
electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light, used for applications such as thermal imaging and remote sensing
(ultravioletti)
ultravioletto
a type of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than visible light, often associated with sunlight and used in various applications
(fluorescenza)
fluorescenza
the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation
(spettrometratore)
spettrometro
a scientific instrument used to measure and analyze the properties of light over a specific range of wavelengths
(quanta di luce)
fotone
a fundamental particle of light that carries electromagnetic energy and exhibits both particle-like and wave-like properties
(diffusione)
diffrazione
the bending, spreading, and interference of waves as they encounter obstacles or pass through narrow openings, often observed in the behavior of light, sound, or other waves
(trasmissività)
trasmittanza
the fraction or percentage of light or electromagnetic radiation that passes through a substance or medium
(spettro di assorbimento elettromagnetico)
spettro di assorbimento
a range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by a substance, typically represented as a graph showing absorption intensity versus wavelength
(termo-dinamica)
termodinamica
the branch of physical science that deals with the relationships between heat, work, and energy, particularly the principles governing the conversion of various forms of energy
termostato
an instrument that automatically controls the temperature of a room, machine, etc.
(calorimetro)
calorimetro
a device used to measure the heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction or physical change, typically by measuring temperature changes in a surrounding medium
microchip
a small piece of material that is a semiconductor, used to make an integrated circuit
lunghezza d’onda
the distance between a point on a wave of energy and a similar point on the next wave
Wavelength refers to the distance between two consecutive peaks or low points of a wave, typically measured in meters. In terms of radio, television, or light waves, it determines the size of the wave and is closely related to the frequency. A longer wavelength corresponds to a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength corresponds to a higher frequency. Wavelength affects how waves travel, with longer wavelengths able to travel further and penetrate obstacles more easily, while shorter wavelengths offer higher resolution but may not travel as far.
antimateria
(physics) matter consisting of elementary particles that are the antiparticles of those of regular matter
(solidificazione)
congelamento
the process of solidification or freezing, typically of a liquid or a substance turning into a solid state due to a decrease in temperature
(congelare)
solidificare
to transform from a liquid or flexible state into a stable, firm, or compact form
Informazioni Grammaticali:
(liquefarsi)
liquefare
to change from a solid state and become fluid or liquid
Informazioni Grammaticali:
(sottoatomico)
subatomico
relating to particles or forces that exist within atoms, including particles smaller than atoms themselves or the interactions between these particles
(neutrini)
neutrino
a very small, electrically neutral particle that rarely interacts with matter
(Metrologia scientifica)
Metrologia
the scientific study of measurement, including the development of measurement standards and techniques
(biofisica)
biofisico
a scientist who applies principles and methods of physics to study biological systems and phenomena, aiming to understand life processes at the molecular and cellular levels
(sparso)
diffuso
describing light that spreads evenly from a broad source or surface, creating soft illumination without harsh shadows
(numero d'onda spaziale)
numero d'onda
the spatial frequency of a wave, representing the number of wavelengths per unit distance
(particella bosonica)
bosone
a tiny particle with whole-number spin, such as photons or the Higgs boson, often associated with carrying fundamental forces or giving mass to other particles
(acceleratore di particelle)
collisore
a type of particle accelerator where two opposing beams of particles are directed to collide with each other at high speeds, allowing scientists to study fundamental particles and forces
(antenna dipolo)
doppolo
a simple type of antenna made of two metal rods, connected in the middle, that is half the wavelength of the signal it transmits or receives
(particella leptonica)
leptone
a fundamental particle with half-integer spin, including electrons and their heavier counterparts, as well as neutrinos
