  2. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    In a prism, the angle of deviation (δ) decreases with increase in the angle of incidence (i) up to a particular angle.This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δ min, D λ, or D m).

  3. Standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

    In that case, the result of the original formula would be called the sample standard deviation and denoted by instead of . Dividing by rather than by gives an unbiased estimate of the variance of the larger parent population. This is known as Bessel's correction.

  4. Achromatic lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achromatic_lens

    After the late 1860s, they changed to the Littrow design, approximately equiconvex crown, R 1 = R 2, and a flint with R 3 ≃ R 2 and R 4 ≫ R 3. By about 1880, Clark lenses had R 3 set slightly shorter than R 2 to create a focus mismatch between R 2 and R 3, thereby avoiding ghosting caused by reflections within the airspace. [8]

  5. Helmholtz resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance

    The concept of Helmholtz resonance is fundamental in various fields, including acoustics, engineering, and physics. The resonator itself, termed a Helmholtz resonator, consists of two key components: a cavity and a neck. The size and shape of these components are crucial in determining the resonant frequency, which is the frequency at which the ...

  6. Aspheric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspheric_lens

    While in principle aspheric surfaces can take a wide variety of forms, aspheric lenses are often designed with surfaces of the form = (+ (+)) + + +, [3]where the optic axis is presumed to lie in the z direction, and () is the sag—the z-component of the displacement of the surface from the vertex, at distance from the axis.

  7. Physics-informed neural networks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics-informed_neural...

    Physics-informed neural networks for solving Navier–Stokes equations. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), [1] also referred to as Theory-Trained Neural Networks (TTNs), [2] are a type of universal function approximators that can embed the knowledge of any physical laws that govern a given data-set in the learning process, and can be described by partial differential equations (PDEs).

  8. Dioptre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptre

    Thus an eye care professional, having determined that a myopic (nearsighted) person requires a basic correction of, say, −2 dioptres to restore normal distance vision, might then make a further prescription of 'add 1' for reading, to make up for lack of accommodation (ability to alter focus). This is the same as saying that −1 dioptre ...

  9. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    F 21 is the force applied on body 2 exerted by body 1, G is the gravitational constant, m 1 and m 2 are respectively the masses of bodies 1 and 2, r 21 = r 2 − r 1 is the displacement vector between bodies 1 and 2, and
