  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism correction is commonly specified in prism dioptres, a unit of angular measurement that is loosely related to the dioptre. Prism dioptres are represented by the Greek symbol delta (Δ) in superscript. A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. [2]

  3. Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timoshenko–Ehrenfest_beam...

    Since the actual shear strain in the beam is not constant over the cross section we introduce a correction factor such that ε x z = 1 2 κ ( − φ + ∂ w ∂ x ) {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{xz}={\frac {1}{2}}~\kappa ~\left(-\varphi +{\frac {\partial w}{\partial x}}\right)}

  4. 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. Then for the first eye ,

  5. Bolometric correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolometric_correction

    Description. Mathematically, such a calculation can be expressed: The bolometric correction for a range of stars with different spectral types and groups is shown in the following table: [1] [2] [3] The bolometric correction is large and negative both for early type (hot) stars and for late type (cool) stars.

  6. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

    Cauchy's two-term equation for air, expanded by Lorentz to account for humidity, is as follows: n a i r ( λ , T , v , p ) ≈ 1 + 77.6 ⋅ 10 − 6 T ( 1 + 7.52 ⋅ 10 − 3 λ 2 ) ( p + 4810 v T ) {\displaystyle n_{air}(\lambda ,T,v,p)\approx 1+{\frac {77.6\cdot 10^{-6}}{T}}\left(1+{\frac {7.52\cdot 10^{-3}}{\lambda ^{2}}}\right)\left(p+4810 ...

  7. Prandtl–Glauert transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Glauert...

    Prandtl–Glauert transformation. The Prandtl–Glauert transformation is a mathematical technique which allows solving certain compressible flow problems by incompressible -flow calculation methods. It also allows applying incompressible-flow data to compressible-flow cases.

  8. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    The formula for vertex correction is = (), where F c is the power corrected for vertex distance, F is the original lens power, and x is the change in vertex distance in meters. Derivation [ edit ] The vertex distance formula calculates what power lens ( F c ) is needed to focus light on the same location if the lens has been moved by a distance x .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_matrix_and...

    A square system of coupled nonlinear equations can be solved iteratively by Newton's method. This method uses the Jacobian matrix of the system of equations. Regression and least squares fitting. The Jacobian serves as a linearized design matrix in statistical regression and curve fitting; see non-linear least squares. The Jacobian is also used ...

  10. 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.

  11. Exotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotropia

    Exotropia is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than exophoria. People with exotropia often experience crossed diplopia. Intermittent exotropia is a fairly common condition.
