  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    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.

  3. Scherrer equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherrer_Equation

    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.

  4. Fine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_structure

    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.

  5. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_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 ...

  6. Esophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophoria

    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.

  7. Compressibility factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor

    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.

  8. Debye–Hückel equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debye–Hückel_equation

    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),

  9. Reaction rate constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate_constant

    The equation for the rate constant is similar in functional form to both the Arrhenius and Eyring equations: k ( T ) = P Z eΔ 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.

  10. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    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})]\}}

  11. Darken's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darken's_equations

    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.
