Summary

[edit]
Description
  • Cherenkov radiation from a charged particle moving nearly at the speed of light in a medium with index of refraction n = 1.25. Wavefronts emitted at times 0,1...5 form a shock-front cone with an opening angle alpha=arcsin(0.8).
  • Caution: this hand-coded image has librsvg-rendering-error-workaround <text font-size="26px" transform="rotate(-36.873)" y="272" x="-4" font-style="italic" fill="blue">r = vt = ct/n</text>.

Metadata

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
