  2. Schwarzschild radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius

    Neither light nor particles can escape through this surface from the region inside, hence the name "black hole". Black holes can be classified based on their Schwarzschild radius, or equivalently, by their density, where density is defined as mass of a black hole divided by the volume of its Schwarzschild sphere.

  3. Roche limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_limit

    In celestial mechanics, the Roche limit, also called Roche radius, is the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation. [1]

  4. Genus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus_(mathematics)

    In layman's terms, the genus is the number of "holes" an object has ("holes" interpreted in the sense of doughnut holes; a hollow sphere would be considered as having zero holes in this sense). [3] A torus has 1 such hole, while a sphere has 0. The green surface pictured above has 2 holes of the relevant sort. For instance:

  5. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    Euler–Maclaurin summation formula [5] [6] Polynomial interpolation [ 7 ] It is argued that the speed of convergence of the trapezoidal rule reflects and can be used as a definition of classes of smoothness of the functions.

  6. Circular segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_segment

    In the design of windows or doors with rounded tops, c and h may be the only known values and can be used to calculate R for the draftsman's compass setting. One can reconstruct the full dimensions of a complete circular object from fragments by measuring the arc length and the chord length of the fragment. To check hole positions on a circular ...

  7. Eddington luminosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington_luminosity

    Super-Eddington accretion onto stellar-mass black holes is one possible model for ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXSs). [4] [5] For accreting black holes, not all the energy released by accretion has to appear as outgoing luminosity, since energy can be lost through the event horizon, down the hole. Such sources effectively may not conserve energy.

  8. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    The hole mobility is defined by a similar equation: =. Both electron and hole mobilities are positive by definition. Usually, the electron drift velocity in a material is directly proportional to the electric field, which means that the electron mobility is a constant (independent of the electric field).

  9. Bekenstein bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein_bound

    According to the Bekenstein bound, the entropy of a black hole is proportional to the number of Planck areas that it would take to cover the black hole's event horizon.. In physics, the Bekenstein bound (named after Jacob Bekenstein) is an upper limit on the thermodynamic entropy S, or Shannon entropy H, that can be contained within a given finite region of space which has a finite amount of ...
