Tuesday Physics Tattoos: Maxwell equation and speed of light in dielectric medium

maxwell_equation_tattoo

Rev. Brendan F. sent me his intricate Maxwell Equation tattoo. This is very artistic, each letter is exquisitely drawn and the total concept is beautifully done. From the picture it is hard to see the scale, but it seems like a very large tattoo.

And this one is my favorite; it is simple, pure physics tattoo. The beauty is not in the lettering but in the equation itself.

Speed of light in a dielectric media.

Thank you Antonia H. for sharing it with us. She is an Australian writer living in Paris and her Flikr stream is here.

By the way, you can derive the Antonia’s tat equation from Brendan’s tat. And of course, in grand physics tradition, the actual derivation is left as an exercise for the reader.
