    Corrective lenses. A corrective lens is a lens worn on or before the eye. They are used to treat myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia .

  3. Schrödinger's cat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger's_cat

    Schrödinger's cat: a cat, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source connected to a Geiger counter are placed in a sealed box. As illustrated, the quantum description uses a superposition of an alive cat and one that has died. In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism

    The Antikythera mechanism ( / ˌæntɪˈkɪθɪərə / AN-tih-KIH-ther-ə) is an Ancient Greek hand-powered orrery (model of the Solar System), described as the oldest known example of an analogue computer [1] [2] [3] used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. [4] [5] [6] It could also be used to track the four-year ...

    Mobile device. An iPhone ( smartphone) and iPad ( tablet )—two examples of mobile devices. A mobile device or handheld computer is a computer small enough to hold and operate in the hand. Mobile devices are typically battery-powered and possess a flat-panel display and one or more built-in input devices, such as a touchscreen or keypad.

  6. Refractometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractometer

    A refractometer is a laboratory or field device for the measurement of an index of refraction ( refractometry ). The index of refraction is calculated from the observed refraction angle using Snell's law. For mixtures, the index of refraction then allows the concentration to be determined using mixing rules such as the Gladstone–Dale relation ...

  7. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    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] This is a result of the prism material's index of ...

  8. Time base correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_base_correction

    Time base correction (TBC) is a technique to reduce or eliminate errors caused by mechanical instability present in analog recordings on mechanical media.. Without time base correction, a signal from a videotape recorder (VTR) or videocassette recorder (VCR), cannot be mixed with other, more time-stable devices found in television studios and post-production facilities.

  9. Prentice position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prentice_position

    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.
