  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prentice's rule, named so after the optician Charles F. Prentice, is a formula used to determine the amount of induced prism in a lens: = where: P is the amount of prism correction (in prism dioptres) c is decentration (the distance between the pupil centre and the lens's optical centre, in millimetres)

  3. Prandtl–Glauert transformation - Wikipedia

    The small-disturbance potential equation then transforms to the Laplace equation, ϕ ¯ x ¯ x ¯ + ϕ ¯ y ¯ y ¯ + ϕ ¯ z ¯ z ¯ = 0 (in flow field) {\displaystyle {\bar {\phi }}_{{\bar {x}}{\bar {x}}}+{\bar {\phi }}_{{\bar {y}}{\bar {y}}}+{\bar {\phi }}_{{\bar {z}}{\bar {z}}}=0\quad {\mbox{(in flow field)}}}

  4. Heterophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterophoria

    Heterophoria is an eye condition in which the directions that the eyes are pointing at rest position, when not performing binocular fusion, are not the same as each other, or, "not straight". This condition can be esophoria, where the eyes tend to cross inward in the absence of fusion; exophoria, in which they diverge; or hyperphoria, in which ...

  5. 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.

  6. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    The free air correction is calculated from Newton's Law, as a rate of change of gravity with distance: g = G M R 2 d g d R = − 2 G M R 3 = − 2 g R {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}g&={\frac {GM}{R^{2}}}\\{\frac {dg}{dR}}&=-{\frac {2GM}{R^{3}}}=-{\frac {2g}{R}}\end{aligned}}}

  7. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

    The most general form of Cauchy's equation is. where n is the refractive index, λ is the wavelength, A, B, C, etc., are coefficients that can be determined for a material by fitting the equation to measured refractive indices at known wavelengths.

  8. Aberration (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberration_(astronomy)

    This gives an angular correction ⁡ = / ≈ 0.000099364 rad = 20.49539 sec, which can be solved to give = / = ≈ 0.000099365 rad = 20.49559 sec, very nearly the same as the aberrational correction (here is in radian and not in arcsecond).

  9. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [1] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria. Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called ...

  10. Benesi–Hildebrand method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benesi–Hildebrand_method

    This can be described by the following equation: [ HG ] = [ H ] 0 K a [ G ] 1 + K a [ G ] {\displaystyle [{\ce {HG}}]={\frac {[{\ce {H}}]_{0}K_{\rm {a}}[{\ce {G}}]}{1+K_{\rm {a}}[{\ce {G}}]}}} By substituting the binding isotherm equation into the previous equation, the equilibrium constant K a can now be correlated to the change in absorbance ...

  11. Prentice position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prentice_position

    The Prentice position is an orientation of a prism, used in optics, optometry and ophthalmology. In this position, named after the optician Charles F. Prentice, the prism is oriented such that light enters it at an angle of 90° to the first surface, so that the beam does not refract at that surface. All the deviation caused by the prism takes ...
