  2. List of dimensionless quantities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dimensionless...

    This is a list of well-known dimensionless quantities illustrating their variety of forms and applications. The tables also include pure numbers, dimensionless ratios, or dimensionless physical constants; these topics are discussed in the article.

  3. Dimensionless quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_quantity

    Physics relies on dimensionless numbers like the Reynolds number in fluid dynamics, [6] the fine-structure constant in quantum mechanics, [7] and the Lorentz factor in relativity. [8] In chemistry, state properties and ratios such as mole fractions concentration ratios are dimensionless. [9]

  6. Oscillator strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillator_strength

    In spectroscopy, oscillator strength is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the probability of absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation in transitions between energy levels of an atom or molecule. [1] [2] For example, if an emissive state has a small oscillator strength, nonradiative decay will outpace radiative decay.

  7. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    In some cases, a Planck unit may suggest a limit to a range of a physical quantity where present-day theories of physics apply. [19] For example, our understanding of the Big Bang does not extend to the Planck epoch , i.e., when the universe was less than one Planck time old.

  8. Time-variation of fundamental constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-variation_of...

    A meaningful test on the time-variation of G would require comparison with a non-gravitational force to obtain a dimensionless quantity, e.g. through the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force between two electrons, which in turn is related to the dimensionless fine-structure constant.

  9. Capillary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_number

    In fluid dynamics, the capillary number (Ca) is a dimensionless quantity representing the relative effect of viscous drag forces versus surface tension forces acting across an interface between a liquid and a gas, or between two immiscible liquids.
