AI Thread Summary
Poynting's Theorem relates to the conservation of energy in electromagnetic fields, and a practical example is the use of laser tweezers. Laser tweezers operate by trapping particles through light scattering, where momentum is transferred from the light to the particle. The discussion highlights the importance of the Poynting vector integral in understanding energy flow. Additionally, the conversation suggests that there are various resources available for further exploration of this topic. The inquiry emphasizes a desire for an engaging problem related to Poynting's Theorem.

Hi,

Anyone knows a good example to aply Poynting's Theorem?

The one thas defines the conversation of energy in the electromagnetic field?

Regards Martin

Laser tweezer?

I don't have a clue, how they work.

Which parts of the Equaction are involved?

The integral of the Poyntig Vektors, and which more?

A laser tweezer maintains a trapped object by light scattering. Momentum from the light is transferred to the trapped particle. Alternatively, the focused beam of light creates a potential well for the particle.

There's lots of material out there- my understanding was that you were looking for an interesting problem to solve. Is that wrong?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
