  2. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)

    Given such a constant k, the proportionality relation ∝ with proportionality constant k between two sets A and B is the equivalence relation defined by {(,): =}. A direct proportionality can also be viewed as a linear equation in two variables with a y-intercept of 0 and a slope of k > 0, which corresponds to linear growth.

  3. Birks' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birks'_Law

    The relation is: = +. where L is the light yield, S is the scintillation efficiency, dE/dx is the specific energy loss of the particle per path length, k is the probability of quenching, [1] and B is a constant of proportionality linking the local density of ionized molecules at a point along the particle's path to the specific energy loss; [1] "Since k and B appear only as a product, they act ...

  4. Chvátal–Sankoff constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chvátal–Sankoff_constants

    The Chvátal–Sankoff constants describe the behavior of the following random process. Given parameters n and k, choose two length-n strings S and T from the same k-symbol alphabet, with each character of each string chosen uniformly at random, independently of all the other characters.

  5. Boltzmann constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_constant

    The Boltzmann constant (k B or k) is the proportionality factor that relates the average relative thermal energy of particles in a gas with the thermodynamic temperature of the gas. [2] It occurs in the definitions of the kelvin (K) and the gas constant , in Planck's law of black-body radiation and Boltzmann's entropy formula , and is used in ...

  6. 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]

  7. Reaction rate constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate_constant

    where A and B are reactants C is a product a, b, and c are stoichiometric coefficients,. the reaction rate is often found to have the form: = [] [] Here ⁠ ⁠ is the reaction rate constant that depends on temperature, and [A] and [B] are the molar concentrations of substances A and B in moles per unit volume of solution, assuming the reaction is taking place throughout the volume of the ...

  8. Proportional navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_navigation

    A missile (blue) intercepts a target (red) by maintaining constant bearing to it (green) Proportional navigation (also known as PN or Pro-Nav) is a guidance law (analogous to proportional control) used in some form or another by most homing air target missiles. [1]

  9. Beer–Lambert law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer–Lambert_law

    The constant of proportionality μ was often termed the "optical density" of the body. As long as μ is constant along a distance d, the exponential attenuation law, = follows from integration. [4] In 1852, August Beer noticed that colored solutions also appeared to exhibit a similar attenuation relation.
