  2. List of formulae involving π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_formulae_involving_π

    is the number of collisions made (in ideal conditions, perfectly elastic with no friction) by an object of mass m initially at rest between a fixed wall and another object of mass b 2N m, when struck by the other object. [1] (This gives the digits of π in base b up to N digits past the radix point.)

  3. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    The circumference is 2 π r, and the area of a triangle is half the base times the height, yielding the area π r 2 for the disk. Prior to Archimedes, Hippocrates of Chios was the first to show that the area of a disk is proportional to the square of its diameter, as part of his quadrature of the lune of Hippocrates , [ 2 ] but did not identify ...

  4. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  5. Steradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steradian

    r is the radius of the sphere, h is the height of the cap, and; sr is the unit, steradian, sr = rad 2. Because the surface area A of a sphere is 4πr 2, the definition implies that a sphere subtends 4π steradians (≈ 12.56637 sr) at its centre, or that a steradian subtends 1/4π ≈ 0.07958 of a sphere.

  6. Rydberg constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_constant

    The last expression in the first equation shows that the wavelength of light needed to ionize a hydrogen atom is 4π/α times the Bohr radius of the atom. The second equation is relevant because its value is the coefficient for the energy of the atomic orbitals of a hydrogen atom: E n = − h c R ∞ / n 2 {\displaystyle E_{n}=-hcR_{\infty }/n ...

  7. Inverse-square law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law

    Since the surface area of a sphere of radius r is A = 4πr 2, the intensity I (power per unit area) of radiation at distance r is = =. The energy or intensity decreases (divided by 4) as the distance r is doubled; if measured in dB would decrease by 6.02 dB per doubling of distance. When referring to measurements of power quantities, a ratio ...

  8. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

    where R is the outer radius of the sphere, and m(r) is the mass contained within the radius r. Changing m ( r ) into a product of volume and density to satisfy the integral, [ 3 ] U = − G ∫ 0 R 4 π r 3 ρ 4 π r 2 ρ 3 r d r = − 16 15 G π 2 ρ 2 R 5 . {\displaystyle U=-G\int _{0}^{R}{\frac {4\pi r^{3}\rho 4\pi r^{2}\rho }{3r}}\,dr ...
