  2. Far infrared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_infrared

    Far infrared (FIR) or long wave refers to a specific range within the infrared spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. It encompasses radiation with wavelengths ranging from 15 μm ( micrometers ) to 1 mm, which corresponds to a frequency range of approximately 20 THz to 300 GHz.

  3. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    Longer-wavelength radiation such as visible light is nonionizing; the photons do not have sufficient energy to ionize atoms. Throughout most of the electromagnetic spectrum, spectroscopy can be used to separate waves of different frequencies, so that the intensity of the radiation can be measured as a function of frequency or wavelength ...

  4. List of battery sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes

    This battery contained two independent 4.5 V batteries, and had a four-pin connector. 9 V with a center tap was available by wiring in series. There were two ⌀3.2 mm negative pins spaced 9.5 mm apart and two ⌀4.0 mm positive pins spaced 14.3 mm apart. Negative and positive pins were spaced 18.1 mm apart.

    Common rifle cartridges, from the largest .50 BMG to the smallest .22 Long Rifle with a $1 United States dollar bill in the background as a reference point.. This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name.

  6. Outgoing longwave radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outgoing_longwave_radiation

    In the case of global energy flux, the W/m 2 value is obtained by dividing the total energy flow over the surface of the globe (measured in watts) by the surface area of the Earth, 5.1 × 10 14 m 2 (5.1 × 10 8 km 2; 2.0 × 10 8 sq mi). [3]

  7. Light characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_characteristic

    The height of the light above the chart datum for height (usually based on high water). e.g. 15m for 15 metres. The range in which the light is visible, e.g. "10M" for 10 nautical miles . An example of a complete light characteristic is "Gp Oc(3) W 10s 15m 10M".

  8. Optical storage media writing and reading speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_storage_media...

    For Blu-ray discs, 1× speed is defined as 36 megabits per second (Mbit/s), which is equal to 4.5 megabytes per second (MB/s). [7] However, as the minimum required data transfer rate for Blu-ray movie discs is 54 Mbit/s, the minimum speed for a Blu-ray drive intended for commercial movie playback should be 2×. The fastest Blu-ray speed is 16×.

  9. Rayleigh scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_scattering

    Rayleigh scattering causes the blue color of the daytime sky and the reddening of the Sun at sunset. Rayleigh scattering (/ ˈ r eɪ l i / RAY-lee) is the scattering or deflection of light, or other electromagnetic radiation, by particles with a size much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation.
