The Cherenkov effect A charged particle traveling in a dielectric medium with n>1 radiates Cherenkov radiation if its velocity is larger than the phase velocity of light v>c/n or Î² > 1/n (threshold) The emission is due to an asymmetric polarization of the medium in front and at the rear of the particle, giving rise to a varying electric dipole momentum.
cyclo-. 1. Combining forms relating to a circle or cycle; or denoting an association with the ciliary body. 2. In chemistry, a combining form indicating a continuous molecule, without end, or the formation of such a structure between two parts of a molecule.
What is the condensed structural formula of cyclohexanol? I'm guessing it would be something close to CH(CH2)5OH   HEX...common... hex means 6 so there is 6 carbons in a row   C-C-C-C-C-C   Its ending is OL making it an alcoâ¦hol which needs a OH on the end   C-C-C-C-C-C-OH   cyclo means its all connected.
