  2. Material dispersion coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Material_dispersion_coefficient

    In an optical fiber, the material dispersion coefficient, M(λ), characterizes the amount of pulse broadening by material dispersion per unit length of fiber and per unit of spectral width. It is usually expressed in picoseconds per ( nanometre · kilometre ).

  3. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    A dispersion is a system in which distributed particles of one material are dispersed in a continuous phase of another material. The two phases may be in the same or different states of matter . Dispersions are classified in a number of different ways, including how large the particles are in relation to the particles of the continuous phase ...

  4. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    In a dispersive prism, material dispersion (a wavelength-dependent refractive index) causes different colors to refract at different angles, splitting white light into a spectrum. A compact fluorescent lamp seen through an Amici prism. Dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency. [1]

  5. Fick's laws of diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick's_laws_of_diffusion

    Fick's first law relates the diffusive flux to the gradient of the concentration. It postulates that the flux goes from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration, with a magnitude that is proportional to the concentration gradient (spatial derivative), or in simplistic terms the concept that a solute will move from a region of high concentration to a region of low ...

  6. Dispersity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersity

    In chemistry, the dispersity is a measure of the heterogeneity of sizes of molecules or particles in a mixture. A collection of objects is called uniform if the objects have the same size, shape, or mass. A sample of objects that have an inconsistent size, shape and mass distribution is called non-uniform.

  7. Sellmeier equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellmeier_equation

    A different form of the equation is sometimes used for certain types of materials, e.g. crystals. Each term of the sum representing an absorption resonance of strength B i at a wavelength √ C i. For example, the coefficients for BK7 below correspond to two absorption resonances in the ultraviolet, and one in the mid-infrared region.

  8. Molecular diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_diffusion

    The self-diffusion coefficient of neat water is: 2.299·10 −9 m 2 ·s −1 at 25 °C and 1.261·10 −9 m 2 ·s −1 at 4 °C. [2] Chemical diffusion occurs in a presence of concentration (or chemical potential) gradient and it results in net transport of mass. This is the process described by the diffusion equation.

  9. Particle-size distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-size_distribution

    [3] p. 10 After sampling, the sample volume typically needs to be reduced. The material to be analysed must be carefully blended, and the sample withdrawn using techniques that avoid size segregation, for example using a rotary divider [3] p. 5. Particular attention must be paid to avoidance of loss of fines during manipulation of the sample.
