  2. Bragg's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg's_law

    This equation, Bragg's law, describes the condition on θ for constructive interference. [12] A map of the intensities of the scattered waves as a function of their angle is called a diffraction pattern. Strong intensities known as Bragg peaks are obtained in the diffraction pattern when the scattering angles satisfy Bragg condition.

  3. Hicks equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hicks_equation

    In fluid dynamics, Hicks equation, sometimes also referred as Bragg–Hawthorne equation or Squire–Long equation, is a partial differential equation that describes the distribution of stream function for axisymmetric inviscid fluid, named after William Mitchinson Hicks, who derived it first in 1898.

  4. Brag (card game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brag_(card_game)

    Brag is an 18th century British card game, and the British national representative of the vying or "bluffing" family of gambling games. [1] It is a descendant of the Elizabethan game of Primero [2] and one of the several ancestors to poker, the modern version just varying in betting style and hand rankings. It has been described as the "longest ...

  5. Mean-field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean-field_theory

    The idea first appeared in physics (statistical mechanics) in the work of Pierre Curie [6] and Pierre Weiss to describe phase transitions. [7]MFT has been used in the Bragg–Williams approximation, models on Bethe lattice, Landau theory, Curie-Weiss law for magnetic susceptibility, Flory–Huggins solution theory, and Scheutjens–Fleer theory.

  6. Bragg–Gray cavity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg–Gray_cavity_theory

    Most often, material is assumed to be a gas, however Bragg–Gray cavity theory applies to any cavity volume (gas, liquid, or solid) that meets the following Bragg-Gray conditions. The dimensions of the cavity containing g {\displaystyle g} is small with respect to the range of charged particles striking the cavity so that the cavity does not ...

  7. Stopping power (particle radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopping_power_(particle...

    The curve that describes the force as function of the material depth is called the Bragg curve. This is of great practical importance for radiation therapy. The equation above defines the linear stopping power which in the international system is expressed in N but is usually indicated in other units like MeV/mm or similar. If a substance is ...

  8. Acousto-optic modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acousto-optic_modulator

    When the incident light beam is at Bragg angle, a diffraction pattern emerges where an order of diffracted beam occurs at each angle θ that satisfies: [3] ⁡ = Here, m = ..., −2, −1, 0, +1, +2, ... is the order of diffraction, λ is the wavelength of light in vacuum, and Λ is the wavelength of the sound. [4]

  9. Zimm–Bragg model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimm–Bragg_model

    In statistical mechanics, the Zimm–Bragg model is a helix-coil transition model that describes helix-coil transitions of macromolecules, usually polymer chains. Most models provide a reasonable approximation of the fractional helicity of a given polypeptide; the Zimm–Bragg model differs by incorporating the ease of propagation (self-replication) with respect to nucleation.
