  2. Wedge prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_prism

    The wedge prism is a prism with a shallow angle between its input and output surfaces. This angle is usually 3 degrees or less. Refraction at the surfaces causes the prism to deflect light by a fixed angle. When viewing a scene through such a prism, objects will appear to be offset by an amount that varies with their distance from the prism.

  3. Spectrophotometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrophotometry

    The use of spectrophotometers spans various scientific fields, such as physics, materials science, chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, and molecular biology. [6] They are widely used in many industries including semiconductors, laser and optical manufacturing, printing and forensic examination, as well as in laboratories for the ...

  4. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended [1] [2] by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). It is published in the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (informally called the Blue Book). [3]

  5. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation. Other ways of solving quadratic equations, such as completing the square, yield the same solutions.

  6. Heron's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_formula

    Heron's formula is also a special case of the formula for the area of a trapezoid or trapezium based only on its sides. Heron's formula is obtained by setting the smaller parallel side to zero. Expressing Heron's formula with a Cayley–Menger determinant in terms of the squares of the distances between the three given vertices,

  7. Abbe–Koenig prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbe–Koenig_prism

    The prism is also less bulky than the double Porro design. The prism is sometimes simply called a "roof prism", although this is ambiguous, because other roof prisms exist, such as the Amici and Schmidt–Pechan designs. A variant of the Abbe–Koenig prism replaces the "roof" section of the prism with a single mirror-coated reflecting surface.

  8. Ericson-Ericson Lorentz-Lorenz correction - Wikipedia

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

    Ericson-Ericson Lorentz-Lorenz correction, also called the Ericson-Ericson Lorentz-Lorenz effect (EELL), refers to an analogy in the interface between nuclear, atomic and particle physics, which in its simplest form corresponds to the well known Lorentz-Lorenz equation (also referred to as the Clausius-Mossotti relation) for electromagnetic waves and light in a refractive medium.

  9. 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 ...
