单词 coupling constant
释义

Definition of coupling constant in English:

coupling constant

noun
Physics
  • A constant representing the strength of the interaction between a particle and a field.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • That's an important detail, because the size of the gravitational coupling constant is what determines the distance scale of quantum gravity.
    • But its predictions for the coupling constants - the constants that describe the strengths of the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions - were wrong.
    • As I mentioned, the coupling constant of string theory is not really a constant at all, and in many respects it is very similar to the compactification moduli.
    • Newton's constant is the coupling constant for the gravitational force, for example.
    • For electromagnetism, the coupling constant is called the fine structure constant a and is formed by the electron charge, Planck's constant and the speed of light.
