  2. Spherical shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_shell

    An approximation for the volume of a thin spherical shell is the surface area of the inner sphere multiplied by the thickness t of the shell: [2] V ≈ 4 π r 2 t , {\displaystyle V\approx 4\pi r^{2}t,}

    The basic quantities describing a sphere (meaning a 2-sphere, a 2-dimensional surface inside 3-dimensional space) will be denoted by the following variables r {\displaystyle r} is the radius, C = 2 π r {\displaystyle C=2\pi r} is the circumference (the length of any one of its great circles ),

    is the number of collisions made (in ideal conditions, perfectly elastic with no friction) by an object of mass m initially at rest between a fixed wall and another object of mass b 2N m, when struck by the other object. [1] (This gives the digits of π in base b up to N digits past the radix point.)

  5. Steradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steradian

    r is the radius of the sphere, h is the height of the cap, and; sr is the unit, steradian, sr = rad 2. Because the surface area A of a sphere is 4πr 2, the definition implies that a sphere subtends 4π steradians (≈ 12.56637 sr) at its centre, or that a steradian subtends 1/4π ≈ 0.07958 of a sphere.

  6. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  7. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

  8. Equivalent radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_radius

    US hat size is the circumference of the head, measured in inches, divided by pi, rounded to the nearest 1/8 inch. This corresponds to the 1D mean diameter. [1] Diameter at breast height is the circumference of tree trunk, measured at height of 4.5 feet, divided by pi. This corresponds to the 1D mean diameter.

  9. Integrating sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrating_sphere

    For a sphere with radius r, reflection coefficient ρ, and source flux Φ, the initial reflected irradiance is equal to: E = ρ Φ 4 π r 2 {\displaystyle E=\rho {\frac {\Phi }{4\pi r^{2}}}\,} Every time the irradiance is reflected, the reflection coefficient exponentially grows.
