Planck units — are units of measurement named after the German physicist Max Planck, who first proposed them in 1899. They are an example of natural units, i.e. units of measurement designed so that certain fundamental physical constants are normalized to 1. In … Wikipedia

Planck force — is the derived unit of force resulting from the definition of the base Planck units for time, length, and mass. It is equal to the natural unit of momentum divided by the natural unit of time.:F P = frac{m P c}{t P} = frac{c^4}{G} = 1.21027 imes… … Wikipedia
Momentum operator — See also: Momentum In quantum mechanics, momentum is defined as an operator on the wave function. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle defines limits on how accurately the momentum and position of a single observable system can be known at once.… … Wikipedia
planck — an MKS unit of action (energy expended over time) or of angular momentum. The planck is equal to 1 joule second (J·s) or about 0.7375 foot pound second (ft·lb·s). The unit honors the German physicist Max Planck (1858 1947), the originator of… … Dictionary of units of measurement
Crystal momentum — In solid state physics crystal momentum or quasimomentum[1] is a momentum like vector associated with electrons in a crystal lattice. It is defined by the associated wave vectors k of this lattice, according to (where is the reduced Planck s… … Wikipedia
