  2. 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)

  3. Perturbation theory (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory...

    In quantum mechanics, perturbation theory is a set of approximation schemes directly related to mathematical perturbation for describing a complicated quantum system in terms of a simpler one. The idea is to start with a simple system for which a mathematical solution is known, and add an additional "perturbing" Hamiltonian representing a weak ...

  4. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δmin, Dλ, or Dm ). Light is deflected as it enters a material with refractive index > 1. A ray of light is deflected twice in a prism.

    The De Broglie relations give the relation between them: ϕ = h f 0 {\displaystyle \phi =hf_ {0}\,\!} Photon momentum. p = momentum of photon (kg m s −1) f = frequency of photon (Hz = s −1) λ = wavelength of photon (m) The De Broglie relations give: p = h f / c = h / λ {\displaystyle p=hf/c=h/\lambda \,\!}

  6. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    Example. Consider a pair of spectacles to correct for myopia with a prescription of −1.00 m −1 in one eye and −4.00 m −1 in the other. Suppose that for both eyes the other parameters are identical, namely t = 1 mm = 0.001 m, n = 1.6, P = 5 m −1, and h = 15 mm = 0.015 m.

  7. Strabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus

    Incomitant strabismus cannot be fully corrected by prism glasses, because the eyes would require different degrees of prismatic correction dependent on the direction of the gaze. Incomitant strabismus of the eso- or exo-type are classified as "alphabet patterns": they are denoted as A- or V- or more rarely λ -, Y- or X-pattern depending on the ...

  8. Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation

    The Klein–Gordon equation and the Dirac equation are two such equations. The Klein–Gordon equation, The Klein–Gordon equation, − 1 c 2 ∂ 2 ∂ t 2 ψ + ∇ 2 ψ = m 2 c 2 ℏ 2 ψ , {\displaystyle -{\frac {1}{c^{2}}}{\frac {\partial ^{2}}{\partial t^{2}}}\psi + abla ^{2}\psi ={\frac {m^{2}c^{2}}{\hbar ^{2}}}\psi ,}

  9. 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.

  10. Einstein field equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_field_equations

    For example, Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism are linear in the electric and magnetic fields, and charge and current distributions (i.e. the sum of two solutions is also a solution); another example is Schrödinger's equation of quantum mechanics, which is linear in the wavefunction. The correspondence principle

  11. Vis-viva equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vis-viva_equation

    The formula for escape velocity can be obtained from the Vis-viva equation by taking the limit as approaches : v e 2 = G M ( 2 r − 0 ) → v e = 2 G M r {\displaystyle v_{e}^{2}=GM\left({\frac {2}{r}}-0\right)\rightarrow v_{e}={\sqrt {\frac {2GM}{r}}}}
