  1. terminology - What is difference between homogeneous and …

    Dec 13, 2014 · Also, isotropic is always homogeneous but the reverse is not true. And another way to say it all is that an isotropic property is invariant under translation and rotation.

  2. What is the reason for isotropy in amorphous solids?

    Jul 8, 2017 · In my book, it's been mentioned that crystalline solids are anisotropic whereas amorphous solids are isotropic in nature. The reason for these has been explained (with a …

  3. What does isotropic space mean? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Mar 31, 2018 · 2 The unit vector r shows that Coulomb's force is parallel to the line joining the charges. It could not be otherwise unless space itself has some built in directional property, for …

  4. homework and exercises - Schwarzschild metric in Isotropic …

    Nov 7, 2014 · The aim of the isotropic coordinates is to write the metric in the form where the spacelike slices are as close as possible to Euclidean. That is, we try to write the metric in the …

  5. forces - How to explain the isotropic nature of pressure? - Physics ...

    Sep 21, 2019 · The pressure at A is equal to pressure at B since it is at the same level and pressure is isotropic. The pressure at A could be defined as the downward thrust acting on a …

  6. How do you prove that pressure is same in all directions (i.e: …

    Nov 14, 2020 · Hence this leads me to two main questions: How is pascal's law related to the isotropic nature of pressure? How do you prove the isotropic nature of pressure using pascal's …

  7. What is Meant by Metallic Atoms being "Isotropic"?

    Oct 1, 2024 · Many resources online say that metals are isotropic, in that they have the same properties in all directions, and it is because of their metallic bonds; because metal atoms are …

  8. Why do we say the universe is isotropic when we are clearly …

    Jul 6, 2022 · Modern cosmology is built on the Friedmann equations, which in turn rely on isotropy — the idea that the universe looks the same in every direction — as a fundamental …

  9. Werner versus Isotropic States: Physical Significance

    Nov 23, 2016 · What do you mean by "physical significance"? Do you mean "find it in the lab" or do you mean "useful to prove something which might be physically relevant"? Also, it might …

  10. electromagnetism - Effective Area of Isotropic Antenna: …

    Mar 16, 2015 · So we must apply a factor of $1/2$ to this effective area to account for half the power's being launched the "wrong" way. Moreover, we now consider a mixture of random …
