    A sample of 229 nearby "thick" disk stars has been used to investigate the existence of an age-metallicity relation in the Galactic thick disk and indicates that there is an age-metallicity relation present in the thick disk. [13] [14] Stellar ages from asteroseismology confirm the lack of any strong age-metallicity relation in the Galactic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

    [5] [6] [7] The spectrum does not contain all the colors that the human visual system can distinguish. Unsaturated colors such as pink, or purple variations like magenta, for example, are absent because they can only be made from a mix of multiple wavelengths. Colors containing only one wavelength are also called pure colors or spectral colors ...

  4. Ultraviolet catastrophe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_catastrophe

    An example, from Mason's A History of the Sciences, [4] illustrates multi-mode vibration via a piece of string. As a natural vibrator, the string will oscillate with specific modes (the standing waves of a string in harmonic resonance), dependent on the length of the string. In classical physics, a radiator of energy will act as a natural vibrator.

  5. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    This limits the length of fiber that a signal can be sent down without regeneration. One possible answer to this problem is to send signals down the optical fibre at a wavelength where the GVD is zero (e.g., around 1.3–1.5 μm in silica fibres), so pulses at this wavelength

  6. Wavelength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength

    The wavelength of a sine wave, λ, can be measured between any two points with the same phase, such as between crests (on top), or troughs (on bottom), or corresponding zero crossings as shown. In physics and mathematics, wavelength or spatial period of a wave or periodic function is the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.

  8. Snell's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell's_law

    Given n lines L and a point P(L) on each line, find the locus of points Q such that the lengths of the line segments QP(L) satisfy certain conditions. For example, when n = 4, given the lines a, b, c, and d and a point A on a, B on b, and so on, find the locus of points Q such that the product QA*QB equals the product QC*QD.
