What is the reason for isotropy in amorphous solids? In my book, it's been mentioned that crystalline solids are anisotropic whereas amorphous solids are isotropic in nature The reason for these has been explained (with a diagram) as: Crystalline s
What does isotropic space mean? - Physics Stack Exchange Isotropic space means the space properties are not different in direction In mechanics, when we say material properties are isotropic, it means, for example, its modulus is the same in all directions For an empty space, it is trivial to show this For an anisotropic space, let's take river for example, the flow velocity is direction dependent
How do you prove that pressure is same in all directions (i. e: isotropic)? Hence this leads me to two main questions: How is pascal's law related to the isotropic nature of pressure? How do you prove the isotropic nature of pressure using pascal's law in lack of shear forces or however another way?
What is Meant by Metallic Atoms being Isotropic? Many resources online say that metals are isotropic, in that they have the same properties in all directions, and it is because of their metallic bonds; because metal atoms are treated as point cha
Isotropic Schwarzschild coordinates - Physics Stack Exchange Isotropic coordinates seek to correct this anisotropic behaviour of light in the Schwarzschild metric, by defining a new r coordinate that allows a light flash to be measured as expanding in a perfect sphere, just like in flat space, from the point of view of the distant observer
forces - How to explain the isotropic nature of pressure? - Physics . . . The pressure at A is equal to pressure at B since it is at the same level and pressure is isotropic The pressure at A could be defined as the downward thrust acting on a unit area of cross section that extends into the screen (i e the plane of the mentioned cross section is perpendicular to the plane of the drawn figure)
