Permittivity (epsilon) change via temperature + optics effect?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the complexities of permittivity (epsilon) changes due to temperature and their impact on optical phenomena, specifically the Snell angle. Participants express skepticism about relying on AI-generated responses, emphasizing the need for clear, human-generated inquiries for effective answers. Additionally, there is a call for a centralized database for physics articles, akin to PubMed, to address fragmentation across various platforms. The thread concludes with a warning against using AI tools for formulating questions in forums.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of permittivity and its role in optics
  • Familiarity with Snell's Law and its applications
  • Knowledge of physics databases and their organization
  • Basic skills in formulating clear scientific inquiries
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the relationship between temperature and permittivity in materials
  • Study Snell's Law and its implications in optical physics
  • Explore existing databases for physics literature and their limitations
  • Learn best practices for posting questions in scientific forums
USEFUL FOR

Students, researchers, and professionals in physics, particularly those interested in optical properties of materials and effective communication in scientific discussions.

TL;DR
Experiments: freeze binoculars view refraction change, + degassed water under high heat vs. near frozen water refraction change.
I got this from chatgpt:

It says "not simple and straightforward", but can we assume proportional ? So is there a visible alteration in Snell angle ? Also, for applied physics databases, what would be a pubmed equivalent, hosting all titles and synopses ? In physics the articles seem to be fragmented between different databases ?
Thx.

ChatGPT is designed to make up a plausible-sounding answer. Sometimes it is even correct, but you can't count on it.

If you would clearly post your question here, real people can take a shot at answering it.

What, you don't understand this very clear thread start? What in the world is WRONG with you? o0)
 
Upon further review, this thread is closed. OP is advised that they can start a new thread with their question if they do it without using an AI chatbot's "help", and make the thread start understandable.
