  2. Rhombohedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombohedron

    The other coordinates can be obtained from vector addition [5] of the 3 direction vectors: e 1 + e 2, e 1 + e 3, e 2 + e 3, and e 1 + e 2 + e 3. The volume V {\displaystyle V} of a rhombohedron, in terms of its side length a {\displaystyle a} and its rhombic acute angle θ {\displaystyle \theta ~} , is a simplification of the volume of a ...

  3. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    Prism (geometry) In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases. All cross-sections parallel to the bases are translations of the bases.

  4. Monoclinic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclinic_crystal_system

    In crystallography, the monoclinic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems. A crystal system is described by three vectors. In the monoclinic system, the crystal is described by vectors of unequal lengths, as in the orthorhombic system. They form a parallelogram prism. Hence two pairs of vectors are perpendicular (meet at right ...

  5. Exophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exophoria

    Exophoria. Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. [1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another. [2] The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia.

  6. Orthorhombic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorhombic_crystal_system

    Orthorhombic crystal system. In crystallography, the orthorhombic crystal system is one of the 7 crystal systems. Orthorhombic lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along two of its orthogonal pairs by two different factors, resulting in a rectangular prism with a rectangular base (a by b) and height (c), such that a, b, and c are ...

  7. Hexagonal crystal family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_crystal_family

    In the hexagonal family, the crystal is conventionally described by a right rhombic prism unit cell with two equal axes (a by a), an included angle of 120° (γ) and a height (c, which can be different from a) perpendicular to the two base axes. The hexagonal unit cell for the rhombohedral Bravais lattice is the R-centered cell, consisting of ...

  8. Tetragonal crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragonal_crystal_system

    In crystallography, the tetragonal crystal system is one of the 7 crystal systems. Tetragonal crystal lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along one of its lattice vectors, so that the cube becomes a rectangular prism with a square base (a by a) and height (c, which is different from a).

  9. Fixation disparity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_disparity

    This x-intercept is also referred to as aligning prism or – in earlier times – as associated phoria when the subjective nonius method was used (sP 0) the slope of the curve near zero prism load; Fig. 3: Fixation disparity as a function of the forced vergence angle which is induced by base-in prisms and base-out prisms in front of the eyes.
