Surface area in the study of fractals. Extensions of the notion of area which partially fulfill its function and may be defined even for very badly irregular surfaces are studied in geometric measure theory. A specific example of such an extension is the Minkowski content of the surface. The below given formulas can be used to show that the surface area of a sphere and cylinder of the same radius and height are in the ratio 2 : 3, as follows. Let the radius be "r" and the height be "h" (which is 2"r" for the sphere). formula_7 The discovery of this
Einstein solid Walther Nernst learned of Einstein's 1906 paper on specific heat, he was so excited that he traveled all the way from Berlin to Zürich to meet with him. The heat capacity of an object at constant volume "V" is defined through the internal energy "U" as formula_3, the temperature of the system, can be found from the entropy To find the entropy consider a solid made of formula_5 atoms, each of which has 3 degrees of freedom. So there are formula_6 quantum harmonic oscillators (hereafter SHOs for "Simple Harmonic Oscillators"). Possible energies of an SHO are given by or, in
