AI Thread Summary
Finding a comprehensive resource for all symbols used in laser equations is challenging, as many symbols can have different meanings depending on context. Users are encouraged to seek clarification on specific symbols related to their problems instead of looking for a single source. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the context of equations to deduce meanings of symbols. Creating a personal list of equations and symbols may be a more effective approach. Overall, no single website exists that covers every variable encountered in laser physics.

Homework Statement



hello
i need a pdf or a homepage where i can get all symbols (variables ) for Laser questions
for example
λ=Wavelength
v=frequency
ω=Beam waist
Q= quality factor
etc.


i have a problem understanding some questions because i don't know which symbol they represent
i hope you can help me

thank you very very much

Physics news on Phys.org
I would be surprised if there is a single site with all the symbols you will ever encounter.
Particularly, some symbols may have different meanings in different contexts.

Perhaps you will be better served just to show us the problem and ask about the symbols you don't know about?

You can usually work out what some of the symbols should be by relating the equations to the description of the situation.
 
Thank you for your answer
I can't post every question i have because i have many questions

I hope i could find something that can help me out of this problem
Today i searched one hour to find the equation for Coherence time and Coherence length and finally found it in my books

Anyway i have to make my own equation list.

As it seems there isn't any homepage to solve my problem
 
Certainly no single page ... the main trouble is that your needs are too vague.
 
yes you are right. what I am searching for is nowhere available
anyway
thank you for your help
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
