Translation of Newton's \textit{Principia} into Arabic Under the Aegis of the East India Company: A Rumour Turning into a Myth?
K. Razi Naqvi
Tafazzul Husain Khan (1727?--1800?), who began his career in the court of Awadh, spent the last two decades of his life as a trusted ally of the East India Company. What set him ap…
A Superior but Equally Convenient Alternative to the Steady-State Approximation and Secular Equilibrium
K. Razi Naqvi
The steady-state approximation (hereafter abbreviated as SSA) consists in setting , where denotes the concentration of a short-lived intermediate subject to first-orde…
Extrapolating from a homologous series of oligomers to the infinite-mer: it's a long long way to infinity
K. Razi Naqvi
The usual strategy for deducing the $π\mbox{--}π^\ast$ electronic energy (or optical bandgap) in a molecule with an "infinite" number of conjugated double bonds consists in fitting…
The finite square well: whatever is worth teaching at all is worth teaching well
K. Razi Naqvi, Sigmund Waldenstrøm
A contemporary physicist would be hard put to agree entirely with the author of a 1959 textbook on quantum mechanics, who wrote: "A second simple, one-dimensional system, somewhat…
A Note on the Kinetics of Diffusion-mediated Reactions
K. Razi Naqvi
The prevalent scheme of a diffusion-mediated bimolecular reaction is an adaptation of that proposed by Briggs and Haldane for enzyme action [{\em Biochem J.\/},…
A new equation for describing heat conduction by phonons
K. Razi Naqvi, S. Waldenstroem
A new equation, rooted in the theory of Brownian motion, is proposed for describing heat conduction by phonons. Though a finite speed of propagation is a built-in feature of the eq…
On the diffusion coefficient of a photon migrating through a turbid medium: a fresh look from a broader perspective
K. Razi Naqvi
Does the diffusion coefficient of a photon depend on time or the probability of absorption ? To find an answer to the question, photon transport in a medium of infinite exte…
The origin of the Langevin equation and the calculation of the mean squared displacement: Let's set the record straight
K. Razi Naqvi
Ornstein and his coauthors, who constructed a dynamical theory of Brownian motion, taking the equation as their starting point, usually named the equation after Ein…
