  2. Hawaiian scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_scale

    Thus, a "3-foot" wave is roughly six feet high (in actuality a height of ~1.8 m), i.e., head-high to a 6-foot (~180 cm) person; a "2-foot" wave is roughly four feet high (height of ~1.2 m), i.e., chest-high to such a person; and a "6- to 8-foot" wave would be 2 to approaching 3 times head-high to such a person (height of ~3.5 to 5 m). As wave ...

    11 cm = 1.1 dm – length of an average potato in the US; 13 cm = 1.3 dm – body length of a Goliath birdeater; 15 cm = 1.5 dm – approximate size of largest beetle species; 19 cm = 1.9 dm – length of a banana; 26.3 cm = 2.6 dm – length of average male human foot; 29.98 cm = 2.998 dm – distance light in vacuum travels in one nanosecond

  6. Bushmeat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushmeat

    Bushmeat extraction in the Amazon rainforest was estimated to be much lower, at 3.69 ± 3.9 kg/km 2 (21.1 ± 22.3 lb/sq mi) in the case of species weighing more than 10 kg and 0.6 ± 0.9 kg/km 2 (3.4 ± 5.1 lb/sq mi) in the case of species weighing less than 10 kg, based on 3 individuals.

  7. Wave height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_height

    Depending on context, wave height may be defined in different ways: For a sine wave, the wave height H is twice the amplitude (i.e., the peak-to-peak amplitude): [1] =.; For a periodic wave, it is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum of the surface elevation z = η(x – c p t): [1] = {()} {()}, with c p the phase speed (or propagation speed) of the wave.

    In the Liberties neighborhood, at Laurence Malone's warehouse where about 315,000 gallons of whiskey were stored, a fire started sometime between 4 and 8 p.m. on June 18, 1875.

  9. Wavenumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber

    Wavenumber has dimensions of reciprocal length, so its SI unit is the reciprocal of meters (m1). In spectroscopy it is usual to give wavenumbers in cgs unit (i.e., reciprocal centimeters; cm1 ); in this context, the wavenumber was formerly called the kayser , after Heinrich Kayser (some older scientific papers used this unit ...
