  2. Prism spectrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_spectrometer

    A prism spectrometer is an optical spectrometer which uses a dispersive prism as its dispersive element. The prism refracts light into its different colors ( wavelengths ). The dispersion occurs because the angle of refraction is dependent on the refractive index of the prism's material, which in turn is slightly dependent on the wavelength of ...

  3. Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers (or other mathematical objects), called the entries of the matrix. Matrices are subject to standard operations such as addition and multiplication. [2] Most commonly, a matrix over a field F is a rectangular array of elements of F.

  4. Tetrahedral prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_prism

    The triangular-prism-first orthographic projection of the tetrahedral prism into 3D space has a projection envelope in the shape of a triangular prism. The two tetrahedral cells are projected onto the triangular ends of the prism, each with a vertex that projects to the center of the respective triangular face.

  5. Monoclinic crystal system - Wikipedia

    those with pure reflection at the base of the prism and halfway those with glide planes instead of pure reflection planes; the glide is one half of a translation vector in the base plane those with both in between each other; in this case an additional translation vector is this glide plus one half of a perpendicular vector between the base planes.

  6. Mean corpuscular volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_corpuscular_volume

    The mean corpuscular volume, or mean cell volume (MCV), is a measure of the average volume of a red blood corpuscle (or red blood cell). The measure is obtained by multiplying a volume of blood by the proportion of blood that is cellular (the hematocrit ), and dividing that product by the number of erythrocytes (red blood cells) in that volume.

  7. Right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_triangle

    A right triangle ABC with its right angle at C, hypotenuse c, and legs a and b,. A right triangle or right-angled triangle, sometimes called an orthogonal triangle or rectangular triangle, is a triangle in which two sides are perpendicular, forming a right angle (1 ⁄ 4 turn or 90 degrees).

  8. Pore structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_structure

    The samples' total volume and pore space volume were measured in order to calculate the porosities. Measuring pore space volume. A helium pyrometer was used to calculate the volume of the pores and relied on Boyle's Law. (P 1 V 1 =P 2 V 2) and helium gas, which easily passes through tiny holes and is inert, to identify the solid fraction of a ...

  9. Fresnel diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_diffraction

    The inner zone is a circle and each succeeding zone will be a concentric annular ring. If the diameter of the circular hole in the screen is sufficient to expose the first or central Fresnel zone, the amplitude of light at the center of the detection screen will be double what it would be if the detection screen were not obstructed.
