  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

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

    (This is the angle α opposite the "rise" side of a triangle with a right angle between vertical rise and horizontal run.) as a percentage, the formula for which is which is equivalent to the tangent of the angle of inclination times 100. In Europe and the U.S. percentage "grade" is the most commonly used figure for describing slopes.

  3. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    This table shows the diagonal, horizontal, and vertical angles of view, in degrees, for lenses producing rectilinear images, when used with 36 mm × 24 mm format (that is, 135 film or full-frame 35 mm digital using width 36 mm, height 24 mm, and diagonal 43.3 mm for d in the formula above).

  4. Geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean

    The geometric mean can be understood in terms of geometry. The geometric mean of two numbers, a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} , is the length of one side of a square whose area is equal to the area of a rectangle with sides of lengths a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} .

  5. Kepler's laws of planetary motion - Wikipedia

    Despite being correct in saying that the planets revolved around the Sun, Copernicus was incorrect in defining their orbits. Introducing physical explanations for movement in space beyond just geometry, Kepler correctly defined the orbit of planets as follows: [1] [2] [5]: 53–54 The planetary orbit is not a circle with epicycles, but an ellipse.

  6. Optical transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transfer_function

    As shown in the right hand figure, an operator defines a box area encompassing the edge of a knife-edge test target image back-illuminated by a black body. The box area is defined to be approximately 10% [citation needed] of the total frame area. The image pixel data is translated into a two-dimensional array (pixel intensity and pixel position).

  7. Autocorrelation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocorrelation

    A more flexible test, covering autocorrelation of higher orders and applicable whether or not the regressors include lags of the dependent variable, is the Breusch–Godfrey test. This involves an auxiliary regression, wherein the residuals obtained from estimating the model of interest are regressed on (a) the original regressors and (b) k ...

    [35] [36] [37] The trihalides are corrosive and easily react with moisture, forming oxyhalides with the formula BiOX. [38] 4 Bi + 6 X 2 → 4 BiX 3 (X = F, Cl, Br, I) 4 BiX 3 + 2 O 2 → 4 BiOX + 4 X 2. Bismuth dissolves in concentrated sulfuric acid to make bismuth(III) sulfate and sulfur dioxide. [34] 6 H 2 SO 4 + 2 Bi → 6 H 2 O + Bi 2 (SO ...

  9. Anamorphic format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphic_format

    This results in out-of-focus points of light (called bokeh [9]) appearing as vertical ovals rather than circles, as well as an increase in horizontal angle of view, both in proportion to the squeeze factor. A 50mm anamorphic lens with a 2x squeeze will have the horizontal view of a 25mm spherical lens, while maintaining the vertical view and ...
