Angle Symbol

AI Thread Summary

The symbol "T" when referring to angles typically indicates true north, suggesting that an angle like 023T means 23 degrees to the left of true north. This interpretation can vary based on context, as it may also be seen as a misprint. The mention of a force of 200 without units raises concerns about clarity in the measurement. Understanding the relationship between angles and degrees is crucial for accurate interpretation in navigation and physics. Clear communication of units and context is essential for effective problem-solving in these scenarios.

What does the symbol T mean when referring to angles? How does this relate to degrees? I.e. A boy exerts a force of 200 at an angle of 023T.

Looks like a misprint.

Could also conceivably mean 23 degrees left of true north, depending on context. Bothers me that the 200 lacks units.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Raman Spectroscopy help'

I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
