  2. Exophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exophoria

    Exophoria. Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. [1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another. [2] The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia .

  3. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism dioptres. Prism correction is commonly specified in prism dioptres, a unit of angular measurement that is loosely related to the dioptre. Prism dioptres are represented by the Greek symbol delta (Δ) in superscript. A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. [2]

  4. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    The Maddox rod test can be used to subjectively detect and measure a latent, manifest, horizontal or vertical strabismus for near and distance. The test is based on the principle of diplopic projection. [1] Dissociation of the deviation is brought about by presenting a red line image to one eye and a white light to the other, while prisms are ...

  5. Precision tests of QED - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_tests_of_QED

    Precision tests of QED have been performed in low-energy atomic physics experiments, high-energy collider experiments, and condensed matter systems. The value of α is obtained in each of these experiments by fitting an experimental measurement to a theoretical expression (including higher-order radiative corrections) that includes α as a

  6. Ericson-Ericson Lorentz-Lorenz correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericson-Ericson_Lorentz...

    The physics becomes closely similar although the nuclear density is about 15 orders of magnitude larger than that of ordinary matter and the nature of the dipole interaction is totally different. The correction was predicted in 1963 by Magda Ericson [3] and was derived in 1966 together with Torleif Ericson . [4]

  7. Geometrical frustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_frustration

    Geometrical frustration. In condensed matter physics, the term geometrical frustration (or in short: frustration [1]) refers to a phenomenon where atoms tend to stick to non-trivial positions [citation needed] or where, on a regular crystal lattice, conflicting inter-atomic forces (each one favoring rather simple, but different structures) lead ...

  8. Polarimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimetry

    Polarimetry of thin films and surfaces is commonly known as ellipsometry . Polarimetry is used in remote sensing applications, such as planetary science, astronomy, and weather radar . Polarimetry can also be included in computational analysis of waves. For example, radars often consider wave polarization in post-processing to improve the ...

  9. Effective field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_field_theory

    In physics, an effective field theory is a type of approximation, or effective theory, for an underlying physical theory, such as a quantum field theory or a statistical mechanics model. An effective field theory includes the appropriate degrees of freedom to describe physical phenomena occurring at a chosen length scale or energy scale, while ...
