Please commit to the Physics proposal on Area 51. This site is going to shutdown who knows when, but they will probably be shutting it down without further warning. So please commi …

Hi, I'm trying to make a connection between physical description of light (involving wave lengths, Poynting vector and energy density) and radiometric quantities:] Radiant energ …

Are there different intentions or why are there two portals for one matter? I mean, the way it currently is, I find no reason to prefer one over the other, but the current state wi …

Unfortunately physicsoverflow is quite unused. The framework it is based on, StackExchange, is curently updated to version 2.0 and all rather inactive site, possibly including this …

Do dark surfaces exposed to the sun really contribute to global warming?

The resistivity for thin films can be obtained using Fuchs theory \rho = \left[1-\left(\frac{3}{2\kappa}\right)(1-p)\int_1^\infty\left(\frac{1}{t^3}-\frac{1}{t^5}\right)\frac{1-\ex …
