  2. Wavenumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber

    The angular wavenumber may be expressed in the unit radian per meter (rad⋅m −1), or as above, since the radian is dimensionless. For electromagnetic radiation in vacuum, wavenumber is directly proportional to frequency and to photon energy. Because of this, wavenumbers are used as a convenient unit of energy in spectroscopy.

  4. Mimeograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimeograph

    A mimeograph machine (often abbreviated to mimeo, sometimes called a stencil duplicator or stencil machine) was a low-cost duplicating machine that worked by forcing ink through a stencil onto paper. [1] The process was called mimeography, and a copy made by the process was a mimeograph.

  6. Wave vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_vector

    In physics, a wave vector (or wavevector) is a vector used in describing a wave, with a typical unit being cycle per metre.It has a magnitude and direction.Its magnitude is the wavenumber of the wave (inversely proportional to the wavelength), and its direction is perpendicular to the wavefront.

  7. Wavelength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength

    In that case, the wavenumber k, the magnitude of k, is still in the same relationship with wavelength as shown above, with v being interpreted as scalar speed in the direction of the wave vector. The first form, using reciprocal wavelength in the phase, does not generalize as easily to a wave in an arbitrary direction.

    The printer also has basic scan and copy capabilities, the big limitation being the one-sheet-at-a-time flatbed. If you need a machine with a multi-page document feeder, keep looking.

  9. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.
