AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Reststrahlen effect, which is often miswritten as "Restrahlen effect." Participants note that while the term is frequently cited in various sources, comprehensive explanations are lacking. The Wikipedia article and references from Britannica are suggested as helpful resources for understanding the effect. The confusion arises from the German terminology, where "Rest" and "Strahlen" may not translate clearly into English. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for clearer explanations and reliable bibliographic sources on the Reststrahlen effect.

I search it on google, books, articles, everyone cite it but no one explain fully what it is. If you can: bibliography please! Thanks a lot!

Do you mean Reststrahlen effect? "Restrahlen effect" is a redirect to this page. As "Rest" and "Strahlen" are german, it might look a bit funny in english, and maybe the second "st" was left out somehow.
If yes, do the wikipedia article (and its references) help?

Yes, in fact in many publication is write "restrahlen" with reststrahlen I find much more. Thanks a lot!
 

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Simple thought experiment with Stefan-Boltzmann law: energy'

Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (First part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...
