Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A prescription that specifies prism correction will also specify the "base". The base is the thickest part of the lens and is opposite from the apex. Light will be bent towards the base and the image will be shifted towards the apex.
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 \,\!}
Q = radiation quality factor (dimensionless) Sv = J kg −1 (Sievert) [L] 2 [T] −2. Effective dose. E. E = ∑ j H j W j {\displaystyle E=\sum _ {j}H_ {j}W_ {j}\,\!} Wj = weighting factors corresponding to radiosensitivities of matter (dimensionless) ∑ j W j = 1 {\displaystyle \sum _ {j}W_ {j}=1\,\!}
Lorentz transformation. The following notations are used very often in special relativity: 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 → ∞.
The Gibbs–Thomson effect, in common physics usage, refers to variations in vapor pressure or chemical potential across a curved surface or interface. The existence of a positive interfacial energy will increase the energy required to form small particles with high curvature, and these particles will exhibit an increased vapor pressure. See Ostwald–Freundlich equation . More specifically ...
In fluid dynamics, Stokes' law is an empirical law for the frictional force – also called drag force – exerted on spherical objects with very small Reynolds numbers in a viscous fluid. [1] It was derived by George Gabriel Stokes in 1851 by solving the Stokes flow limit for small Reynolds numbers of the Navier–Stokes equations.
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.
The hydrogen electrode is based on the redox half cell corresponding to the reduction of two hydrated protons, 2H+(aq), into one gaseous hydrogen molecule, H2 (g). General equation for a reduction reaction:
A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas. The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the ...
The Penman–Monteith equation approximates net evapotranspiration (ET) from meteorological data, as a replacement for direct measurement of evapotranspiration. The equation is widely used, and was derived by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization for modeling reference evapotranspiration ET 0. [1]
