  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism correction is commonly specified in prism dioptres, a unit of angular measurement that is loosely related to the dioptre. Prism dioptres are represented by the Greek symbol delta (Δ) in superscript.

  3. Faxén's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faxén's_law

    Faxén's law is a correction to Stokes' law for the friction on spherical objects in a viscous fluid, valid where the object moves close to a wall of the container. See also. Immersed boundary method; Notes

  4. Heterophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterophoria

    Heterophoria. Specialty. Optometry Ophthalmology. Heterophoria is an eye condition in which the directions that the eyes are pointing at rest position, when not performing binocular fusion, are not the same as each other, or, "not straight".

  5. Prentice position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prentice_position

    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 takes place at the exit surface.

  6. Eötvös effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eötvös_effect

    Explanation of the cosine in the first term. 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.

  7. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  8. Hypsometric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypsometric_equation

    p {\displaystyle p} = pressure [ Pa ]. In meteorology, and are isobaric surfaces. In radiosonde observation, the hypsometric equation can be used to compute the height of a pressure level given the height of a reference pressure level and the mean virtual temperature in between.

  9. Relaxation (iterative method) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(iterative_method)

    Relaxation methods are used to solve the linear equations resulting from a discretization of the differential equation, for example by finite differences. [2] [3] [4] Iterative relaxation of solutions is commonly dubbed smoothing because with certain equations, such as Laplace's equation , it resembles repeated application of a local smoothing ...

  10. Benesi–Hildebrand method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benesi–Hildebrand_method

    The Benesi–Hildebrand method is a mathematical approach used in physical chemistry for the determination of the equilibrium constant K and stoichiometry of non-bonding interactions. This method has been typically applied to reaction equilibria that form one-to-one complexes, such as charge-transfer complexes and host–guest molecular ...

  11. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    Solve the momentum equation for a provisional velocity based on the velocity and pressure of the previous outer loop. Plug the new newly obtained velocity into the continuity equation to obtain a correction.
