  2. Point reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_reflection

    In mathematics, reflection through the origin refers to the point reflection of Euclidean space R n across the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system. Reflection through the origin is an orthogonal transformation corresponding to scalar multiplication by − 1 {\displaystyle -1} , and can also be written as − I {\displaystyle -I} , where I ...

  3. Step potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_potential

    To find the amplitudes for reflection and transmission for incidence from the left, we set in the above equations A → = 1 (incoming particle), A ← = √ R (reflection), B ← = 0 (no incoming particle from the right) and B → = √ Tk 1 /k 2 (transmission [1]). We then solve for T and R. The result is:

    Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]

  5. Reflection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(mathematics)

    Point Q is the reflection of point P through the line AB. In a plane (or, respectively, 3-dimensional) geometry, to find the reflection of a point drop a perpendicular from the point to the line (plane) used for reflection, and extend it the same distance on the other side. To find the reflection of a figure, reflect each point in the figure.

  6. Rotations and reflections in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotations_and_reflections...

    The set of all reflections in lines through the origin and rotations about the origin, together with the operation of composition of reflections and rotations, forms a group. The group has an identity: Rot(0). Every rotation Rot(φ) has an inverse Rot(−φ). Every reflection Ref(θ) is its own inverse. Composition has closure and is ...

  7. Reflection formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_formula

    In mathematics, a reflection formula or reflection relation for a function f is a relationship between f(a − x) and f(x). It is a special case of a functional equation . It is common in mathematical literature to use the term "functional equation" for what are specifically reflection formulae.

  8. Vincenty's formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae

    Vincenty's formulae are two related iterative methods used in geodesy to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a spheroid, developed by Thaddeus Vincenty (1975a). They are based on the assumption that the figure of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, and hence are more accurate than methods that assume a spherical Earth, such ...

  9. Lambert's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_problem

    The distance between the points and is , the distance between the points and is = and the distance between the points and is = +. The value A {\displaystyle A} is positive or negative depending on which of the points P 1 {\displaystyle P_{1}} and P 2 {\displaystyle P_{2}} that is furthest away from the point F 1 {\displaystyle F_{1}} .
