  2. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    Calculation. The free-air gravity anomaly is given by the equation: = (+) Here, is observed gravity, is the free-air correction, and is theoretical gravity.

  3. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prentice's rule, named so after the optician Charles F. Prentice, is a formula used to determine the amount of induced prism in a lens: = where: P is the amount of prism correction (in prism dioptres) c is decentration (the distance between the pupil centre and the lens's optical centre, in millimetres)

    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 r s = − sin ⁡ ( θ i − θ t ) sin ⁡ ( θ i + θ t ) . {\displaystyle r_{\text{s}}=-{\frac {\sin(\theta _{\text{i}}-\theta _{\text{t}})}{\sin(\theta _{\text{i}}+\theta _{\text{t}})}}.}

  5. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Amblyopia. Anisometropia is a condition in which a person's eyes have substantially differing refractive power. [1] Generally, a difference in power of one diopter (1D) is the threshold for diagnosis of the condition . [2] [3] Patients may have up to 3D of anisometropia before the condition becomes clinically significant due to headache, eye ...

    We find from the formula for radial elliptic trajectories: The time t taken for an object to fall from a height r to a height x , measured from the centers of the two bodies, is given by: t = π 2 − arcsin ⁡ ( x r ) + x r ( 1 − x r ) 2 μ r 3 / 2 {\displaystyle t={\frac {{\frac {\pi }{2}}-\arcsin {\Big (}{\sqrt {\frac {x}{r}}}{\Big ...

  7. Eötvös effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eötvös_effect

    The force of gravity and the normal force. The resultant force acts as the required centripetal force. The mathematical derivation for the Eötvös effect for motion along the Equator explains the factor 2 in the first term of the Eötvös correction formula. What remains to be explained is the cosine factor.

  8. Larmor formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larmor_formula

    In electrodynamics, the Larmor formula is used to calculate the total power radiated by a nonrelativistic point charge as it accelerates. It was first derived by J. J. Larmor in 1897, in the context of the wave theory of light.

  9. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    In this case, a correction factor in the numerator is necessary:: 248 : 123 [ α ] λ T = 100 × α l × c {\displaystyle [\alpha ]_{\lambda }^{T}={\frac {100\times \alpha }{l\times c}}} When using this equation, the concentration and the solvent may be provided in parentheses after the rotation.

  10. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in...

    v. t. e. The two-body problem in general relativity (or relativistic two-body problem) is the determination of the motion and gravitational field of two bodies as described by the field equations of general relativity. Solving the Kepler problem is essential to calculate the bending of light by gravity and the motion of a planet orbiting its sun.

  11. Thomas precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_precession

    Thomas precession gives a correction to the precession of a Foucault pendulum. For a Foucault pendulum located in the city of Nijmegen in the Netherlands the correction is: ω ≈ 9.5 ⋅ 10 − 7 a r c s e c o n d s / d a y . {\displaystyle \omega \approx 9.5\cdot 10^{-7}\,\mathrm {arcseconds} /\mathrm {day} .}
