  2. Douglas sea scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_sea_scale

    The Degree (D) value has an almost linear dependence on the square root of the average wave Height (H) above, i.e., +. Using linear regression on the table above, the coefficients can be calculated for the low Height values ( λ L = 2.3236 , β L = 1.2551 {\textstyle \lambda _{L}=2.3236,\beta _{L}=1.2551} ) and for the high Height values ( λ H ...

  3. LogMAR chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LogMAR_chart

    The chart was designed by Ian Bailey [5] and Jan E. Lovie-Kitchin at the National Vision Research Institute of Australia. [1] [3] They described their motivation for designing the LogMAR chart as follows: "We have designed a series of near vision charts in which the typeface, size progression, size range, number of words per row and spacings were chosen in an endeavour to achieve a ...

  4. Milliradian - Wikipedia

    From the front a Land Rover is about 1.5 m wide, most tanks around 3–3.5 m. So a SWB Land Rover from the side is one finger wide at about 100 m. A modern tank would have to be at a bit over 300 m. If, for instance a target known to be 1.5 m in height (1500 mm) is measured to 2.8 mrad in the reticle, the range can be estimated to:

  5. Scale height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_height

    Scale height. The earth atmosphere's scale height is about 8.5 km, as can be confirmed from this diagram of air pressure p by altitude h: At an altitude of 0, 8.5, and 17 km, the pressure is about 1000, 370, and 140 hPa, respectively. In atmospheric, earth, and planetary sciences, a scale height, usually denoted by the capital letter H, is a ...

    1.75 m – (5 feet 8 inches) – height of average U.S. male human as of 2002 (source: U.S. CDC as per female above) 2.4 m – wingspan of a mute swan; 2.5 mheight of a sunflower; 2.7 m – length of a leatherback sea turtle, the largest living turtle; 2.72 m – (8 feet 11 inches) – tallest-known human (Robert Wadlow) [31]

  8. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    For 6/6 = 1.0 acuity, the size of a letter on the Snellen chart or Landolt C chart is a visual angle of 5 arc minutes (1 arc min = 1/60 of a degree), which is a 43 point font at 20 feet. [10] By the design of a typical optotype (like a Snellen E or a Landolt C), the critical gap that needs to be resolved is 1/5 this value, i.e., 1 arc min.
