  2. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    Photograph of a triangular prism, dispersing light Lamps as seen through a prism. In optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow). Different wavelengths (colors) of light will be deflected by the prism at different angles. [1]

  3. Sheet resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_resistance

    Example: A 3-unit long by 1-unit wide (aspect ratio = 3) sheet made of material having a sheet resistance of 21 Ω/sq would measure 63 Ω (since it is composed of three 1-unit by 1-unit squares), if the 1-unit edges were attached to an ohmmeter that made contact entirely over each edge.

  4. Semi-empirical mass formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-empirical_mass_formula

    The formula does not consider the internal shell structure of the nucleus. The semi-empirical mass formula therefore provides a good fit to heavier nuclei, and a poor fit to very light nuclei, especially 4 He. For light nuclei, it is usually better to use a model that takes this shell structure into account.

  5. Van der Pauw method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Pauw_method

    The van der Pauw Method is a technique commonly used to measure the resistivity and the Hall coefficient of a sample. Its strength lies in its ability to accurately measure the properties of a sample of any arbitrary shape, as long as the sample is approximately two-dimensional (i.e. it is much thinner than it is wide), solid (no holes), and the electrodes are placed on its perimeter.

  6. Prentice position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prentice_position

    The Prentice position is an orientation of a prism, used in optics, optometry and ophthalmology. [1] In this position, named after the optician Charles F. Prentice, the prism is oriented such that light enters it at an angle of 90° to the first surface, so that the beam does not refract at that surface. All the deviation caused by the prism ...

  7. Riemann–Hurwitz formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann–Hurwitz_formula

    What the Riemann–Hurwitz formula does is to add in a correction to allow for ramification (sheets coming together). Now assume that S {\displaystyle S} and S ′ {\displaystyle S'} are Riemann surfaces , and that the map π {\displaystyle \pi } is complex analytic .

  8. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    The strength of the prism is increased until the streak of the light passes through the centre of the prism, as the strength of the prism indicates the amount of deviation present. The Maddox rod is a handheld instrument composed of red parallel plano convex cylinder lens , which refracts light rays so that a point source of light is seen as a ...
