If the radiant energy is less than the quantum of energy, the amount of light in that frequency range will be reduced.
"This isn't just nickels and dimes, this is a quantum leap in the amount of money H.M.O.'s will get for serving seniors," said Senator Charles E. Schumer, a New York Democrat who championed legislation increasing Medicare payments to health maintenance organizations.
Now physicists have found a fundamental quantum limit on the amount of heat each individual vibration can carry.
Statistically, a quantum is the amount of infectious material needed to produce infection in 63% of uniformly exposed animals, or 1.25 times the median infectious dose, i.e., q = 1.25 x ID50 (5 ).
More important, as the number of quantum bits grows, the amount of information required to describe it grows exponentially.
Compared with AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures and quantum dots, the amount of the refractive index is larger in the AlGaN/GaN quantum well heterostructures studied.
Quantum of Solace -- the amount of comfort.
It showed that the annual volatility of Quantum's returns — the amount they varied from year to year — was high (twenty-four per cent), indicating that the fund was a risky investment.
When the values are multiples of a constant least amount, that amount is referred to as a quantum of the observable.
These quantum numbers also gave the amount of degeneracy of the orbital levels in the hydrogen atom.
Therefore, the amount of computational resources that one needs in order to obtain a given fidelity for the quantum state of the simulation increases with the amount of bosonic excitations.
