Thus a prism of 1 Δ would produce 1 cm visible displacement at 100 cm, or 1 meter. This can be represented mathematically as: = where is the amount of prism correction in prism dioptres, and is the angle of deviation of the light.
Scherrer equation. The Scherrer equation, in X-ray diffraction and crystallography, is a formula that relates the size of sub- micrometre crystallites in a solid to the broadening of a peak in a diffraction pattern. It is often referred to, incorrectly, as a formula for particle size measurement or analysis. It is named after Paul Scherrer.
Fine structure. Interference fringes, showing fine structure (splitting) of a cooled deuterium source, viewed through a Fabry–Pérot interferometer. In atomic physics, the fine structure describes the splitting of the spectral lines of atoms due to electron spin and relativistic corrections to the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation.
It deviates in the ultraviolet and infrared regions. In optics, Cauchy's transmission equation is an empirical relationship between the refractive index and wavelength of light for a particular transparent material. It is named for the mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy, who originally defined it in 1830 in his article "The refraction and ...
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.
Compressibility factor values are usually obtained by calculation from equations of state (EOS), such as the virial equation which take compound-specific empirical constants as input.
The Debye–Hückel limiting law enables one to determine the activity coefficient of an ion in a dilute solution of known ionic strength. The equation is [1] : section 2.5.2. where. is the charge number of ion species i, is the elementary charge, is the inverse of the Debye screening length (defined below),
The equation for the rate constant is similar in functional form to both the Arrhenius and Eyring equations: k ( T ) = P Z e − Δ E / R T , {\displaystyle k(T)=PZe^{-\Delta E/RT},} where P is the steric (or probability) factor and Z is the collision frequency, and Δ E is energy input required to overcome the activation barrier.
The formula for Volume Correction Factor is commonly defined as: V C F = C T L = exp { − α T Δ T [ 1 + 0.8 α T ( Δ T + δ T ) ] } {\displaystyle VCF=C_{TL}=\exp\{-\alpha _{T}\Delta T[1+0.8\alpha _{T}(\Delta T+\delta _{T})]\}}
This equation is only applicable for binary systems that follow the equations of state and the Gibbs–Duhem equation. This equation, as well as Darken's first law, ν = ( D 2 − D 1 ) ∂ N 2 ∂ x {\displaystyle u =(D_{2}-D_{1}){\tfrac {\partial N_{2}}{\partial x}}} , gives a complete description of an ideal binary diffusion system.
