  2. University of Vermont - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Vermont

    The University of Vermont (UVM), [a] officially the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, is a public land-grant research university in Burlington, Vermont, United States. [6] Founded in 1791, UVM is the oldest university in Vermont and the fifth-oldest in New England.

  3. Crystallographic restriction theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic...

    The crystallographic restriction theorem in its basic form was based on the observation that the rotational symmetries of a crystal are usually limited to 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, and 6-fold. However, quasicrystals can occur with other diffraction pattern symmetries, such as 5-fold; these were not discovered until 1982 by Dan Shechtman. [1]

    The Vermont Catamounts are the varsity intercollegiate athletic programs of the University of Vermont, based in Burlington, Vermont, United States.The school sponsors 18 athletic programs (8 men's, 10 women's), [2] most of which compete in the NCAA Division I America East Conference (AEC), of which the school has been a member since 1979.

  5. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    But in practice the usual way to calculate slope is to measure the distance along the slope and the vertical rise, and calculate the horizontal run from that, in order to calculate the grade (100% × rise/run) or standard slope (rise/run). When the angle of inclination is small, using the slope length rather than the horizontal displacement (i ...

  6. Misorientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misorientation

    The above are the correct versions, note a different form for these equations has to be used if Θ = 180 degrees.) For the copper—S 3 misorientation given by Δg AB, the axis/angle description is 19.5° about [0.689,0.623,0.369], which is only 2.3° from <221>. This result is only one of the 1152 symmetrically related possibilities but does ...

  7. Electron diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_diffraction

    Close to an aperture or atoms, often called the "sample", the electron wave would be described in terms of near field or Fresnel diffraction. [12]: Chpt 7-8 This has relevance for imaging within electron microscopes, [1]: Chpt 3 [2]: Chpt 3-4 whereas electron diffraction patterns are measured far from the sample, which is described as far-field or Fraunhofer diffraction. [12]:

  8. Particle physics and representation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_physics_and...

    The two-dimensional "spin 1/2" representation of the Lie algebra so(3), for example, does not correspond to an ordinary (single-valued) representation of the group SO(3). (This fact is the origin of statements to the effect that "if you rotate the wave function of an electron by 360 degrees, you get the negative of the original wave function.")

  9. Snell's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell's_law

    Refraction! of light at the interface between two media of different refractive indices, with n 2 > n 1.Since the velocity is lower in the second medium (v 2 < v 1), the angle of refraction θ 2 is less than the angle of incidence θ 1; that is, the ray in the higher-index medium is closer to the normal.
