  2. Arccos - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arccos

    Arccos, ArcCos, ARCCOS, arccos, or ARccOS may refer to: arccos (trigonometry), the inverse trigonometric function of cosine; ARccOS protection, a copyright protection ...

  3. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    Power flow calculated from AC voltage and current entering a load having a zero power factor (ϕ = 90°, cos(ϕ) = 0).The blue line shows the instantaneous power entering the load: all of the energy received during the first (or third) quarter cycle is returned to the grid during the second (or fourth) quarter cycle, resulting in an average power flow (light blue line) of zero.

  4. Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

    Carl Friedrich Gauß in 1828, aged 50 years old. The gauss (symbol: G, sometimes Gs) is a unit of measurement of magnetic induction, also known as magnetic flux density.The unit is part of the Gaussian system of units, which inherited it from the older centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic units (CGS-EMU) system.

  5. Specular highlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specular_highlight

    Specular highlights on a pair of spheres. A specular highlight is the bright spot of light that appears on shiny objects when illuminated (for example, see image on right). ). Specular highlights are important in 3D computer graphics, as they provide a strong visual cue for the shape of an object and its location with respect to light sources in the

  6. Numerical aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_aperture

    In laser physics, numerical aperture is defined slightly differently.Laser beams spread out as they propagate, but slowly. Far away from the narrowest part of the beam, the spread is roughly linear with distance—the laser beam forms a cone of light in the "far field".

  7. International Temperature Scale of 1990 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Temperature...

    There are often small differences between measurements calibrated per ITS-90 and thermodynamic temperature.For instance, precise measurements show that the boiling point of VSMOW water under one standard atmosphere of pressure is actually 373.1339 K (99.9839 °C) when adhering strictly to the two-point definition of thermodynamic temperature.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula

    This screenshot shows the formula E = mc 2 being edited using VisualEditor.The window is opened by typing "<math>" in VisualEditor. The visual editor shows a button that allows to choose one of three offered modes to display a formula.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level-set_method

    Video of spiral being propagated by level sets (curvature flow) in 2D.Left image shows zero-level solution. Right image shows the level-set scalar field. The Level-set method (LSM) is a conceptual framework for using level sets as a tool for numerical analysis of surfaces and shapes.
