  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism dioptres. 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. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    Presbyopia is a typical part of the aging process. [4] It occurs due to age related changes in the lens (decreased elasticity and increased hardness) and ciliary muscle (decreased strength and ability to move the lens), causing the eye to focus right behind rather than on the retina when looking at close objects. [4]

  4. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)

    Prism (optics) An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light. At least one surface must be angled — elements with two parallel surfaces are not prisms. The most familiar type of optical prism is the triangular prism, which has a triangular base and rectangular sides.

  5. Chirped pulse amplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirped_pulse_amplification

    (p = 2 − GDD, p = 3 − TOD, p = 4 − FOD, p = 5 − FiOD, p = 6 − SiOD, p = 7 − SeOD, p = 8 − EOD, p = 9 − NOD, p = 10 − TeOD) This setup is normally used as a compressor since it does not involve transmissive components that could lead to unwanted side-effects when dealing with high-intensity pulses.

  6. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_relation

    In the physical sciences and electrical engineering, dispersion relations describe the effect of dispersion on the properties of waves in a medium. A dispersion relation relates the wavelength or wavenumber of a wave to its frequency. Given the dispersion relation, one can calculate the frequency-dependent phase velocity and group velocity of ...

  7. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    Aberrations of the eye. The eye, like any other optical system, suffers from a number of specific optical aberrations. The optical quality of the eye is limited by optical aberrations, diffraction and scatter. [1] Correction of spherocylindrical refractive errors has been possible for nearly two centuries following Airy's development of methods ...

    Kmax = Maximum kinetic energy of ejected electron (J) h = Planck's constant. f = frequency of incident photons (Hz = s −1) φ, Φ = Work function of the material the photons are incident on (J) K m a x = h f − Φ {\displaystyle K_ {\mathrm {max} }=hf-\Phi \,\!} Threshold frequency and Work function.

  9. Diplopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplopia

    Specialty. Neurology, ophthalmology. Diplopia is the simultaneous perception of two images of a single object that may be displaced horizontally or vertically in relation to each other. [1] Also called double vision, it is a loss of visual focus under regular conditions, and is often voluntary.

  10. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in...

    v. t. e. The two-body problem in general relativity (or relativistic two-body problem) is the determination of the motion and gravitational field of two bodies as described by the field equations of general relativity. Solving the Kepler problem is essential to calculate the bending of light by gravity and the motion of a planet orbiting its sun.

  11. End correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_correction

    This is known as end correction, which can be calculated as: for a closed pipe (with one opening): Δ L = 0.6 r = 0.3 D {\displaystyle \Delta L=0.6\cdot r=0.3\cdot D} ,
