Dec 13, 2014 · Also, isotropic is always homogeneous but the reverse is not true. And another way to say it all is that an isotropic property is invariant under translation and rotation.

Jul 8, 2017 · 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 …

Mar 31, 2018 · 2 The unit vector r shows that Coulomb's force is parallel to the line joining the charges. It could not be otherwise unless space itself has some built in directional property, for …

Oct 1, 2024 · 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 …

Nov 7, 2014 · The aim of the isotropic coordinates is to write the metric in the form where the spacelike slices are as close as possible to Euclidean. That is, we try to write the metric in the …

It is sometimes said that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic. What is meant by each of these descriptions? Are they mutually exclusive, or does one require the other? And what …

Jul 6, 2022 · Modern cosmology is built on the Friedmann equations, which in turn rely on isotropy — the idea that the universe looks the same in every direction — as a fundamental …

Jul 17, 2020 · However these crystals can be isotropic. How is this possible? In my mind isotropic means that no matter the angle of the rotation of the crystal, all its properties are the same. …

Sep 21, 2019 · 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 …

Nov 14, 2020 · It must be stressed that the law of isotropic pressure for a fluid at rest (Pascal's law) is only valid for a region of small dimensions but still large enough that the continuous …
