  2. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    The spectrum of ice is similar to that of liquid water, with peak maxima at 3400 cm −1 (2.941 μm), 3220 cm −1 (3.105 μm) and 1620 cm −1 (6.17 μm) [14] In both liquid water and ice clusters, low-frequency vibrations occur, which involve the stretching (TS) or bending (TB) of intermolecular hydrogen bonds (O–H•••O).

  3. Near-infrared window in biological tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared_window_in...

    Although water is nearly transparent in the range of visible light, it becomes absorbing over the near-infrared region. Water is a critical component since its concentration is high in human tissue. The absorption spectrum of water in the range from 250 to 1000 nm is shown in Figure 2.

  4. Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars...

    In dielectric spectroscopy, large frequency dependent contributions to the dielectric response, especially at low frequencies, may come from build-ups of charge.This Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars polarization (or often just Maxwell–Wagner polarization), occurs either at inner dielectric boundary layers on a mesoscopic scale, or at the external electrode-sample interface on a macroscopic scale.

  5. Specific absorption rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_absorption_rate

    Specific energy absorption rate (SAR) averaged over the whole body or over parts of the body, is defined as the rate at which energy is absorbed per unit mass of body tissue and is expressed in watts per kilogram (W/kg). Whole body SAR is a widely accepted measure for relating adverse thermal effects to RF exposure. [9]

  6. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectrical_impedance...

    Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.

  7. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    Water with its permanent dipole is less likely to change shape due to an external electric field. Alkanes are the most polarizable molecules. [ 9 ] Although alkenes and arenes are expected to have larger polarizability than alkanes because of their higher reactivity compared to alkanes, alkanes are in fact more polarizable. [ 9 ]

  8. Physical optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_optics

    In radio, this approximation is used to estimate some effects that resemble optical effects. It models several interference, diffraction and polarization effects but not the dependence of diffraction on polarization. Since this is a high-frequency approximation, it is often more accurate in optics than for radio.

  9. Pockels effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pockels_effect

    With the addition of a Brewster window (left), this change in polarization can be converted to a change in the intensity of the beam, by transmitting only the p-polarized vector component. In optics , the Pockels effect , or Pockels electro-optic effect , is a directionally-dependent linear variation in the refractive index of an optical medium ...
