Raman Scattering
Introduction Raman Scattering, a fundamental phenomenon in the world of light-matter interactions, provides a powerful tool for scientists to explore the nature of materials. Discovered by Sir C.V. Raman in 1928, this scattering event involves a change in the energy (and thus wavelength) of light when it interacts with a material. The study of Raman…

Wireless Energy Transfer
Introduction Wireless energy transfer refers to the process of transmitting electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load, without the use of physical connectors. It’s a broad field with applications ranging from wireless charging of devices, electric vehicles, medical implants to power transfer in remote or inaccessible locations. Basic Principle of Wireless Energy…

Oscillations
Introduction Oscillations are repetitive variations, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. In physics, oscillations include the movements of a pendulum and the vibrations of atoms. Simple Harmonic Motion Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a type of oscillatory motion in…

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Introduction Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a powerful and theoretically complex analytical tool that exploits the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei. It determines the physical and chemical properties of atoms or the molecules in which they are contained. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a method that exploits the magnetic properties of certain types of…

Longitudinal Waves
Introduction Longitudinal waves are a type of wave in which the displacement of the medium’s particles is parallel to the propagation of the wave. They are characterized by alternating regions of compressions (areas where the particles are close together) and rarefactions (areas where the particles are far apart). Wave Parameters and Properties Wave Speed The…
