Abstract.  The paper consideres the idea of two physical phenomena, which are essentially different, but can have the same linearized mathematical model. If one of two phenomena is well known, the analogy allwes for better understanding of the secon one. Analogy can be ascertained, but it may lead under some circumstances to new discoveries, at least from a theoretical point of view and if experimentally confirmed, they can be considered as new verities in science. The idea of analogies is illustrated by numerous examples.
O NEKIM ANALOGIJAMA
U radu je rezrađena ideja dva fizička fenomena, esencijalnop različitih, ali koji imaju isti linearizovani matematički model. Ako je jedan od ova dva fenomena veoma dobro poznat, analogije omogućavaju bolje razulevanje drugog fenomena. Analogija može biti potvrđena, ali pod određenim uslovima može dovesti do određenih otkrića, barem sa teorijske tačke gledišta, kao i ako se eksperimentalno potvrdi, može se smatrati novim verifikacijama u nauci. Ideja analogije je ilustrovana brojnim primerima.
