  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. Quantum tunnelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tunnelling

    Introduction to the concept. Quantum tunnelling falls under the domain of quantum mechanics. To understand the phenomenon, particles attempting to travel across a potential barrier can be compared to a ball trying to roll over a hill. Quantum mechanics and classical mechanics differ in their treatment of this scenario.

  4. Atomic absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_absorption_spectroscopy

    Atomic absorption spectroscopy ( AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy ( AES) is a spectroanalytical procedure for the quantitative determination of chemical elements by free atoms in the gaseous state. Atomic absorption spectroscopy is based on absorption of light by free metallic ions. In analytical chemistry the technique is used for ...

  5. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    In this case, a correction factor in the numerator is necessary:: 248 : 123 [ α ] λ T = 100 × α l × c {\displaystyle [\alpha ]_{\lambda }^{T}={\frac {100\times \alpha }{l\times c}}} When using this equation, the concentration and the solvent may be provided in parentheses after the rotation.

  6. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    nB is the number density of B in the gas in units of m −3. E.g. for a gas mixture with gas A concentration 0.1 mol⋅L −1 and B concentration 0.2 mol⋅L −1, the number of density of A is 0.1×6.02×10 23 ÷10 −3 = 6.02×10 25 m −3, the number of density of B is 0.2×6.02×10 23 ÷10 −3 = 1.2×10 26 m −3.

  7. Diffraction grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_grating

    For a diffraction grating, the relationship between the grating spacing (i.e., the distance between adjacent grating grooves or slits), the angle of the wave (light) incidence to the grating, and the diffracted wave from the grating is known as the grating equation.

  8. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    Classically, electromagnetic radiation consists of electromagnetic waves, which are synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. In a vacuum, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, commonly denoted c. There, depending on the frequency of oscillation, different wavelengths of electromagnetic spectrum are produced.

  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. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    Using the same chemical equation again, write the corresponding matrix equation: s 1 CH 4 + s 2 O 2 s 3 CO 2 + s 4 H 2 O {\displaystyle {\ce {{\mathit {s}}_{1}{CH4}+{\mathit {s}}_{2}{O2}->{\mathit {s}}_{3}{CO2}+{\mathit {s}}_{4}{H2O}}}}

  11. 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 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.
