Spin (physics) discrete angular momenta despite having no orbital angular momentum. In some ways, spin is like a vector quantity; it has a definite magnitude, and it has a "direction" (but quantization makes this "direction" different from the direction of an ordinary vector). All elementary particles of a given kind have the same magnitude of spin angular momentum, which is indicated by assigning the particle a spin quantum number. The SI unit of spin is the (N·m·s) or (kg·m·s), just as with classical angular momentum. In practice, spin is given as a dimensionless spin quantum number by dividing the spin angular momentum
Sound intensity differences, but sound intensity is a specifically defined quantity and cannot be sensed by a simple microphone. The rate at which sound energy passes through a unit area held perpendicular to the direction of propagation of sound waves is called intensity of sound. Sound intensity, denoted I, is defined by where Both I and v are vectors, which means that both have a "direction" as well as a magnitude. The direction of sound intensity is the average direction in which energy is flowing. The average sound intensity during time "T" is given by For a "spherical" sound wave, the intensity
