  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. Square antiprism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_antiprism

    According to the VSEPR theory of molecular geometry in chemistry, which is based on the general principle of maximizing the distances between points, a square antiprism is the favoured geometry when eight pairs of electrons surround a central atom.

  4. Fine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_structure

    The fine structure correction predicts that the Lyman-alpha line (emitted in a transition from n = 2 to n = 1) must split into a doublet. The total effect can also be obtained by using the Dirac equation.

  5. Square antiprismatic molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_antiprismatic...

    In chemistry, the square antiprismatic molecular geometry describes the shape of compounds where eight atoms, groups of atoms, or ligands are arranged around a central atom, defining the vertices of a square antiprism.

  6. BET theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BET_theory

    The resulting BET equation is θ = c p ( 1 p / p o ) ( p o + p ( c − 1 ) ) {\displaystyle \theta ={\frac {cp}{(1-p/p_{o}){\bigl (}p_{o}+p(c-1){\bigr )}}}} where c is referred to as the BET C-constant, p o {\displaystyle p_{o}} is the vapor pressure of the adsorptive bulk liquid phase which would be at the temperature of the adsorbate and ...

  7. Octahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedral_molecular_geometry

    In chemistry, octahedral molecular geometry, also called square bipyramidal, describes the shape of compounds with six atoms or groups of atoms or ligands symmetrically arranged around a central atom, defining the vertices of an octahedron.

  8. Quantum tunnelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tunnelling

    Several phenomena have the same behavior as quantum tunnelling. Two examples are evanescent wave coupling (the application of Maxwell's wave-equation to light) and the application of the non-dispersive wave-equation from acoustics applied to "waves on strings". [citation needed] These effects are modeled similarly to the rectangular potential ...

  9. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    A chemical equation (see an example below) consists of a list of reactants (the starting substances) on the left-hand side, an arrow symbol, and a list of products (substances formed in the chemical reaction) on the right-hand side.

  10. Stern–Volmer relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern–Volmer_relationship

    The Stern–Volmer relationship, named after Otto Stern and Max Volmer, [1] allows the kinetics of a photophysical intermolecular deactivation process to be explored. Processes such as fluorescence and phosphorescence are examples of intramolecular deactivation ( quenching) processes.

  11. Marcus theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_theory

    The result for two conducting spheres in a solvent is the formula of Marcus G = ( 1 2 r 1 + 1 2 r 2 − 1 R ) ⋅ ( 1 ϵ opt − 1 ϵ s ) ⋅ ( Δ e ) 2 {\displaystyle G=\left({\frac {1}{2r_{1}}}+{\frac {1}{2r_{2}}}-{\frac {1}{R}}\right)\cdot \left({\frac {1}{\epsilon _{\text{opt}}}}-{\frac {1}{\epsilon _{\text{s}}}}\right)\cdot (\Delta e)^{2}}
