  2. Diplopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplopia

    Diplopia is the simultaneous perception of two images of a single object that may be displaced horizontally or vertically in relation to each other. [1] Also called double vision, it is a loss of visual focus under regular conditions, and is often voluntary.

  3. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    Planck did not propose that light propagating in free space is quantized. [114] [115] [116] The idea of quantization of the free electromagnetic field was developed later, and eventually incorporated into what we now know as quantum field theory. [117]

  4. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    In the above formula for r s ‍, if we put = ⁡ / ⁡ (Snell's law) and multiply the numerator and denominator by ⁠ 1 / n 1 ⁠ sin θ t ‍, we obtain [10] [11] = ⁡ ⁡ (+).

  5. Eötvös effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eötvös_effect

    The Eötvös effect is the change in measured Earth's gravity caused by the change in centrifugal acceleration resulting from eastbound or westbound velocity.When moving eastbound, the object's angular velocity is increased (in addition to Earth's rotation), and thus the centrifugal force also increases, causing a perceived reduction in gravitational force.

  6. Quantum error correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_error_correction

    The error-correction demonstration was performed on Schrodinger-cat states encoded in a superconducting resonator, and employed a quantum controller capable of performing real-time feedback operations including read-out of the quantum information, its analysis, and the correction of its detected errors. The work demonstrated how the quantum ...

  7. Lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    A burning apparatus consisting of two biconvex lens. A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.A simple lens consists of a single piece of transparent material, while a compound lens consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually arranged along a common axis.

  8. Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell-Mann–Nishijima_formula

    The Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula (sometimes known as the NNG formula) relates the baryon number B, the strangeness S, the isospin I 3 of quarks and hadrons to the electric charge Q. It was originally given by Kazuhiko Nishijima and Tadao Nakano in 1953, [ 1 ] and led to the proposal of strangeness as a concept, which Nishijima originally ...

  9. Air mass (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_mass_(astronomy)

    The angle of a celestial body with the zenith is the zenith angle (in astronomy, commonly referred to as the zenith distance).A body's angular position can also be given in terms of altitude, the angle above the geometric horizon; the altitude and the zenith angle are thus related by =.
