    The energy content of this volume element at 5 km from the station is 2.1 × 1010 × 0.109 = 2.3 × 10 −11 J, which amounts to 3.4 × 10 14 photons per (). Since 3.4 × 10 14 > 1, quantum effects do not play a role. The waves emitted by this station are well-described by the classical limit and quantum mechanics is not needed.

  3. Newton's rings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_rings

    Since the wavelength of light is so small, this technique can measure very small departures from flatness. For example, the wavelength of red light is about 700 nm, so using red light the difference in height between two fringes is half that, or 350 nm, about 1 ⁄ 100 the diameter of a human hair. Since the gap between the glasses increases ...

  4. Illuminance - Wikipedia

    Illuminance diagram with units and terminology. In photometry, illuminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area. [1] It is a measure of how much the incident light illuminates the surface, wavelength-weighted by the luminosity function to correlate with human brightness perception. [2]

  5. Numerical aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_aperture

    As a pencil of light goes through a flat plane of glass, its half-angle changes to θ 2. Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same: NA = n 1 sin θ 1 = n 2 sin θ 2. In optics, the numerical aperture (NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that characterizes the range of angles over which the system can accept or ...

    where λ is the wavelength of the absorbed/emitted light and R H is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen. The Rydberg constant is seen to be equal to ⁠ 4 / B ⁠ in Balmer's formula, and this value, for an infinitely heavy nucleus, is ⁠ 4 / 3.645 0682 × 10 −7 m ⁠ = 10 973 731.57 m −1. [3]

    After introducing medically assisted treatment in 2013, Seppala saw Hazelden’s dropout rate for opiate addicts in the new revamped program drop dramatically. Current data, which covers between January 1, 2013 and July 1, 2014, shows a dropout rate of 7.5 percent compared with the rate of 22 percent for the opioid addicts not in the program.

  8. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. [1] Visible light spans the visible spectrum and is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometres (nm), corresponding to frequencies of 750–420 terahertz .

  9. Snell's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell's_law

    Refraction of light at the interface between two media of different refractive indices, with n 2 > n 1.Since the velocity is lower in the second medium (v 2 < v 1), the angle of refraction θ 2 is less than the angle of incidence θ 1; that is, the ray in the higher-index medium is closer to the normal.
