One flick corresponds to a spectral radiance of 1 watt per steradian per square centimeter of surface per micrometer of span in wavelength (W·sr −1 ·cm −2 ·μm −1). This is equivalent to 10 10 watts per steradian per cubic meter (W·sr −1 ·m −3). In practice, spectral radiance is typically measured in microflicks (10 −6 flicks). [1]
As a simplified example, if a beamline runs for 8 hours (28 800 seconds) at an instantaneous luminosity of 300 × 10 30 cm −2 ⋅s −1 = 300 μb −1 ⋅s −1, then it will gather data totaling an integrated luminosity of 8 640 000 μb −1 = 8.64 pb −1 = 0.008 64 fb −1 during this period. If this is multiplied by the cross-section ...
1 and q G 2 are the two electric charges, and r is the distance between the charges. This serves to define charge as a quantity in the Gaussian system. The statcoulomb is defined such that if two electric charges of 1 statC each and have a separation of 1 cm, the force of mutual electrical repulsion is 1 dyne. [1] Substituting F = 1 dyn, q G 1 ...
Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.
1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2; 1 cm – edge of a cube of volume 1 mL; 1 cm – length of a coffee bean; 1 cm – approximate width of average fingernail; 1.2 cm – length of a bee; 1.2 cm – diameter of a die; 1.5 cm – length of a very large mosquito; 1.6 cm – length of a Jaragua Sphaero, a very small reptile

A medium with a permeability of 1 darcy permits a flow of 1 cm 3 /s of a fluid with viscosity 1 cP (1 mPa·s) under a pressure gradient of 1 atm/cm acting across an area of 1 cm 2. Typical values of permeability range as high as 100,000 darcys for gravel, to less than 0.01 microdarcy for granite. Sand has a permeability of approximately 1 darcy ...
Lambda (written λ, in lowercase) is a non-SI unit of volume equal to 10 −9 m 3, 1 cubic millimetre (mm 3) or 1 microlitre (μL).Introduced by the BIPM in 1880, [1] the lambda has been used in chemistry [2] and in law for measuring volume, but its use is not recommended.
