Explores electromagnetic radiation interaction with matter, covering absorption, diffusion, reflection, and refraction, with practical examples like the color of the sky and moon darkness.
Explores the radiative properties of small spheres, including Rayleigh scattering and absorption efficiencies, with a focus on Mie theory and particle characteristics.
Explores radiative heat transfer equilibrium between walls and isotropic scattering medium, optical thickness, Monte Carlo method, and analytical solutions.
Explores phonon frequencies, heat capacity, thermal properties, vibrations in solids, free electron gas, Fermi function, and density functional theory.
