  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A prescription that specifies prism correction will also specify the "base". The base is the thickest part of the lens and is opposite from the apex. Light will be bent towards the base and the image will be shifted towards the apex.

  3. Streeter–Phelps equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streeter–Phelps_equation

    The Streeter–Phelps equation is also known as the DO sag equation. This is due to the shape of the graph of the DO over time. The biological oxygen demand (BOD) and dissolved oxygen (DO) curves in a river flowing right reaching equilibrium after a continuous input of high BOD influent is added into the river at x = 15 m and t = 0 s.

  4. Standard hydrogen electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_hydrogen_electrode

    The reaction quotient (Q r) of the half-reaction is the ratio between the chemical activities (a) of the reduced form (the reductant, a red) and the oxidized form (the oxidant, a ox). Q r = a red a ox {\displaystyle Q_{r}={\frac {a_{\text{red}}}{a_{\text{ox}}}}}

  5. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

    In optics, Cauchy's transmission equation is an empirical relationship between the refractive index and wavelength of light for a particular transparent material. It is named for the mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy, who originally defined it in 1830 in his article "The refraction and reflection of light".

  6. Kohn–Sham equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohn–Sham_equations

    The KohnSham equation is defined by a local effective (fictitious) external potential in which the non-interacting particles move, typically denoted as v s (r) or v eff (r), called the Kohn–Sham potential.

  7. Fugacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugacity

    If the chemical potential of each gas is expressed as a function of fugacity, the equilibrium condition may be transformed into the familiar reaction quotient form (or law of mass action) except that the pressures are replaced by fugacities.

  8. Gibbs isotherm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_isotherm

    The Gibbs adsorption isotherm for multicomponent systems is an equation used to relate the changes in concentration of a component in contact with a surface with changes in the surface tension, which results in a corresponding change in surface energy. For a binary system, the Gibbs adsorption equation in terms of surface excess is

  9. Extent of reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extent_of_reaction

    In physical chemistry and chemical engineering, extent of reaction is a quantity that measures the extent to which the reaction has proceeded. Often, it refers specifically to the value of the extent of reaction when equilibrium has been reached.

  10. 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.

  11. Bethe–Salpeter equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethe–Salpeter_equation

    The Bethe–Salpeter equation (named after Hans Bethe and Edwin Salpeter) [1] describes the bound states of a two-body (particles) quantum field theoretical system in a relativistically covariant formalism. The equation was first published in 1950 at the end of a paper by Yoichiro Nambu, but without derivation.
