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) f is lens power (in dioptres )
The free-air correction is the amount that must be added to a measurement at height to correct it to the reference level: δ g F = 2 g R × h {\displaystyle \delta g_{F}={\frac {2g}{R}}\times h} Here we have assumed that measurements are made relatively close to the surface so that R does not vary significantly.
The prism cover test ( PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. [1] It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1]
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 ...
where the correction due to the Eötvös effect, A, can be expressed as follows: A = − 1 g ( 2 Ω u ¯ cos ϕ + u ¯ 2 + v ¯ 2 r ) , {\displaystyle A=-{\frac {1}{g}}\left(2\Omega {\overline {u}}\cos \phi +{\frac {{\overline {u}}^{2}+{\overline {v}}^{2}}{r}}\right),}
It is often referred to, incorrectly, as a formula for particle size measurement or analysis. It is named after Paul Scherrer. It is used in the determination of size of crystals in the form of powder. The Scherrer equation can be written as: = where:
After simplifying the final equation is found: F F c = 1 − x F ⇒ F c = F 1 − x F = 1 1 F − x ⇒ F = 1 1 F c + x {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}&&{\frac {F}{F_{\text{c}}}}&=1-xF\\&\Rightarrow &F_{\text{c}}&={\frac {F}{1-xF}}={\frac {1}{{\frac {1}{F}}-x}}\\&\Rightarrow &F&={\frac {1}{{\frac {1}{F_{\text{c}}}}+x}}\end{aligned}}}
Lorentz factor. where and v is the relative velocity between two inertial frames . For two frames at rest, γ = 1, and increases with relative velocity between the two inertial frames. As the relative velocity approaches the speed of light, γ → ∞. Time dilation (different times t and t' at the same position x in same inertial frame)
Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance. It is a type of heterophoria. Cause. Causes include: Refractive errors; Divergence insufficiency; Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.
Faxen's first law was introduced in 1922 by Swedish physicist Hilding Faxén, who at the time was active at Uppsala University, and is given by [1] [2] where. is the force exerted by the fluid on the sphere. is the Newtonian viscosity of the solvent in which the sphere is placed. is the sphere's radius. is the (translational) velocity of the ...
