Illustrative images for some engineering physics topics
Searching images from Unsplash and other resources
Continuing previous story in finding the skeleton of engineering physics for a course (Viridi, 2024), in this story free images from Unsplash or other resources are listed here as notes for future use.
Polarization
The action of restricting the vibrations of a transverse wave, especially light, wholly or partially to one direction (Oxford).
Unsplash does not give any related images.
Holography
A study of a three-dimensional image formed by the interference of light beams from a laser or other coherent light source (Oxford)
Unsplash gives only one might related image.
Crystal structure
The particular repeating arrangement of atoms (molecules or ions) throughout a crystal, where structure refers to the internal arrangement of particles and not the external appearance of the crystal (Chemistry Libre Text).
Unsplash gives images more about crystal than crystal structure.
Quantum mechanics
The branch of mechanics that deals with the mathematical description of the motion and interaction of subatomic particles, incorporating the concepts of quantization of energy, wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and the correspondence principle.
Unsplach does not gives any related images.
Summaries
- For too specific topics Unsplash can not give accurate related free images.
- It might also only interpretate one word from a phrase.
