  2. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    To calculate the energy in the box in this way, we need to evaluate how many photon states there are in a given energy range. If we write the total number of single photon states with energies between ε and ε + dε as g ( ε ) dε , where g ( ε ) is the density of states (which is evaluated below), then the total energy is given by

  3. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

    Xenon is by far the most efficient of the gases, although krypton is more effective at a specific wavelength of light. The sensitivity of the human eye to various wavelengths. Assuming each wavelength equals 1 watt of radiant energy, only the center wavelength is perceived as 683 candelas (1 watt of luminous energy), equaling 683 lumens. The ...

  4. Wavenumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber

    The historical reason for using this spectroscopic wavenumber rather than frequency is that it is a convenient unit when studying atomic spectra by counting fringes per cm with an interferometer : the spectroscopic wavenumber is the reciprocal of the wavelength of light in vacuum:

  5. Planck relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_relation

    The Planck relation [1] [2] [3] (referred to as Planck's energy–frequency relation, [4] the Planck–Einstein relation, [5] Planck equation, [6] and Planck formula, [7] though the latter might also refer to Planck's law [8] [9]) is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics which states that the energy E of a photon, known as photon energy, is proportional to its frequency ν: =.

  6. Energy transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transformation

    Fire is an example of energy transformation Energy transformation using Energy Systems Language. Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. [1] In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work (e.g. lifting an object) or provides heat.

  7. Photon energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_energy

    The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon's electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. The higher the photon's frequency, the higher its energy. Equivalently, the longer the photon's wavelength, the lower its energy. Photon energy can be expressed using any energy unit.

  8. Rydberg formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_formula

    In 1890, Rydberg proposed on a formula describing the relation between the wavelengths in spectral lines of alkali metals. [2]: v1:376 He noticed that lines came in series and he found that he could simplify his calculations using the wavenumber (the number of waves occupying the unit length, equal to 1/λ, the inverse of the wavelength) as his unit of measurement.

  9. LMS color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_color_space

    The Hunt and RLAB color appearance models use the Hunt–Pointer–Estevez transformation matrix (M HPE) for conversion from CIE XYZ to LMS. [4] [5] [6] This is the transformation matrix which was originally used in conjunction with the von Kries transform method, and is therefore also called von Kries transformation matrix (M vonKries).
