  2. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    Photograph of a triangular prism, dispersing light Lamps as seen through a prism. In optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow). Different wavelengths (colors) of light will be deflected by the prism at different angles. [1]

  3. Augustin-Jean Fresnel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustin-Jean_Fresnel

    Augustin-Jean Fresnel [Note 1] (10 May 1788 – 14 July 1827) was a French civil engineer and physicist whose research in optics led to the almost unanimous acceptance of the wave theory of light, excluding any remnant of Newton's corpuscular theory, from the late 1830s [3] until the end of the 19th century.

  4. Horror fusionis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_fusionis

    Horror fusionis is a rare condition and normally appears only in patients who have been treated by means of surgery or other interventions. [2] Attempts to achieve stereoscopic vision, in particular anti-suppression therapy and other orthoptic exercises, may lead to double vision as undesired side effect, in particular also to horror fusionis.

  5. Perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory

    An approximate 'perturbation solution' is obtained by truncating the series, usually by keeping only the first two terms, the solution to the known problem and the 'first order' perturbation correction. Perturbation theory is used in a wide range of fields, and reaches its most sophisticated and advanced forms in quantum field theory.

  6. Fine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_structure

    The fine structure energy corrections can be obtained by using perturbation theory.To perform this calculation one must add three corrective terms to the Hamiltonian: the leading order relativistic correction to the kinetic energy, the correction due to the spin–orbit coupling, and the Darwin term coming from the quantum fluctuating motion or zitterbewegung of the electron.

  7. Overdetermined system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdetermined_system

    Any system of linear equations can be written as a matrix equation. The previous system of equations (in Diagram #1) can be written as follows: [] [] = [] Notice that the rows of the coefficient matrix (corresponding to equations) outnumber the columns (corresponding to unknowns), meaning that the system is overdetermined.

  8. Saline (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_(medicine)

    Saline solution for irrigation. Normal saline (NSS, NS or N/S) is the commonly used phrase for a solution of 0.90% w/v of NaCl, 308 mOsm/L or 9.0 g per liter. Less commonly, this solution is referred to as physiological saline or isotonic saline (because it is approximately isotonic to blood serum, which makes it a physiologically normal solution).
