  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. Nicol prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicol_prism

    Nicol prism. A Nicol prism is a type of polarizer. It is an optical device made from calcite crystal used to convert ordinary light into plane polarized light. It is made in such a way that it eliminates one of the rays by total internal reflection, i.e. the ordinary ray is eliminated and only the extraordinary ray is transmitted through the ...

  4. Fugacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugacity

    Fugacity. In chemical thermodynamics, the fugacity of a real gas is an effective partial pressure which replaces the mechanical partial pressure in an accurate computation of chemical equilibrium. It is equal to the pressure of an ideal gas which has the same temperature and molar Gibbs free energy as the real gas. [1]

  5. 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})]\}}

  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. Activity coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_coefficient

    The ionic activity coefficient is connected to the ionic diameter by the formula obtained from Debye–Hückel theory of electrolytes: log ⁡ ( γ i ) = − A z i 2 I 1 + B a I {\displaystyle \log(\gamma _{i})=-{\frac {Az_{i}^{2}{\sqrt {I}}}{1+Ba{\sqrt {I}}}}}

  8. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    Definition. The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics defines specific rotation as: For an optically active substance, defined by [α] θ λ = α/γl, where α is the angle through which plane polarized light is rotated by a solution of mass concentration γ and path length l. Here θ is the Celsius temperature and λ the wavelength of the ...

  9. Antiprism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiprism

    Symmetry. The symmetry group of a right n -antiprism (i.e. with regular bases and isosceles side faces) is Dnd = Dnv of order 4n, except in the cases of: n = 2: the regular tetrahedron, which has the larger symmetry group Td of order 24 = 3 × (4 × 2), which has three versions of D2d as subgroups;

  11. Enantiomeric excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiomeric_excess

    Definition. Enantiomeric excess is defined as the absolute difference between the mole fraction of each enantiomer: = | | where + = In practice, it is most often expressed as a percent enantiomeric excess.
