  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. Thus a prism of 1 Δ would produce 1 cm visible displacement at 100 cm, or 1 metre. This can be represented mathematically as: = ⁡ where is the amount of prism correction in prism dioptres, and is the angle of deviation of the light.

  3. Fine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_structure

    The scale of the fine structure splitting relative to the gross structure energies is on the order of (Zα) 2, where Z is the atomic number and α is the fine-structure constant, a dimensionless number equal to approximately 1/137. Relativistic corrections. The fine structure energy corrections can be obtained by using perturbation theory.

  4. Scherrer equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherrer_Equation

    Scherrer equation. The Scherrer equation, in X-ray diffraction and crystallography, is a formula that relates the size of sub- micrometre crystallites in a solid to the broadening of a peak in a diffraction pattern. It is often referred to, incorrectly, as a formula for particle size measurement or analysis. It is named after Paul Scherrer.

  5. GW approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW_approximation

    t. e. The GW approximation (GWA) is an approximation made in order to calculate the self-energy of a many-body system of electrons. [1] [2] [3] The approximation is that the expansion of the self-energy Σ in terms of the single particle Green's function G and the screened Coulomb interaction W (in units of ) can be truncated after the first term:

  6. Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation

    Also, the solutions to a relativistic wave equation, for a massive particle of spin s, are complex-valued 2(2s + 1)-component spinor fields. Fock space [ edit ] As originally formulated, the Dirac equation is an equation for a single quantum particle, just like the single-particle Schrödinger equation with wave function Ψ ( x , t ...

  7. Faraday's laws of electrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_laws_of_electrolysis

    For Faraday's first law, W, F, v are constants; thus, the larger the value of Q, the larger W will be. For Faraday's second law, Q, F, v are constants; thus, the larger the value of (equivalent weight), the larger W will be. In the simple case of constant- current electrolysis, Q = It, leading to. and then to. where: t is the total time the ...

  8. Møller–Plesset perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Møller–Plesset...

    v. t. e. Møller–Plesset perturbation theory ( MP) is one of several quantum chemistry post-Hartree–Fock ab initio methods in the field of computational chemistry. It improves on the Hartree–Fock method by adding electron correlation effects by means of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory (RS-PT), usually to second (MP2), third ...

  9. Monoclinic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclinic_crystal_system

    In crystallography, the monoclinic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems. A crystal system is described by three vectors. In the monoclinic system, the crystal is described by vectors of unequal lengths, as in the orthorhombic system. They form a parallelogram prism. Hence two pairs of vectors are perpendicular (meet at right ...
