Propagation and scattering in the atmosphere: introduction by the feature editors to part 1
Abstract:
Forty-four papers, featured in two issues of Applied Optics, contain significant recent results in the propagation and scattering of optical waves in the atmosphere with overviews of the state of the art. The first part, in this 1 June 1988 issue, deals with propagation and scattering in continuous media, including computer simulation of scintillation, scintillation theory and statistics, and the measurement of turbulence and atmospheric parameters. The second part, in the 15 June 1988 issue, covers nonlinear scattering, scattering by composite, nonspherical and irregular particles, multiple scattering, and lidar measurements.

Propagation of Waves
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Propagation of Action Potentials
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...
