  2. Routing and wavelength assignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_and_wavelength...

    Each connection request must be given a route and wavelength. The wavelength must be consistent for the entire path, unless the usage of wavelength converters is assumed. Two connections requests can share the same optical link, provided a different wavelength is used. The RWA problem can be formally defined in an integer linear program (ILP ...

  3. Wien's displacement law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_displacement_law

    Formally, the wavelength version of Wien's displacement law states that the spectral radiance of black-body radiation per unit wavelength, peaks at the wavelength given by: = where T is the absolute temperature and b is a constant of proportionality called Wien's displacement constant, equal to 2.897 771 955... × 10 −3 m⋅K, [1] [2] or b ...

  4. Kundt's tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundt's_tube

    A less accurate method of determining wavelength with a tube, used before Kundt, is simply to measure the length of the tube at resonance, which is approximately equal to a multiple of a half wavelength. The problem with this method is that when a tube of air is driven by a sound source, its length at resonance is not exactly equal to a ...

  5. Back-of-the-envelope calculation - Wikipedia

    The most famous instance came during the first atomic bomb test in New Mexico on 16 July 1945. As the blast wave reached him, Fermi dropped bits of paper. By measuring the distance they were blown, he could compare to a previously computed table and thus estimate the bomb energy yield. He estimated 10 kilotons of TNT; the measured result was 18 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg's_law

    The glancing angle θ (see figure on the right, and note that this differs from the convention in Snell's law where θ is measured from the surface normal), the wavelength λ, and the "grating constant" d of the crystal are connected by the relation: [11]: 1026 = ⁡ where is the diffraction order (= is first order, = is second order, [10]: 221 ...

  7. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

    where n is the refractive index, λ is the wavelength, A, B, C, etc., are coefficients that can be determined for a material by fitting the equation to measured refractive indices at known wavelengths. The coefficients are usually quoted for λ as the vacuum wavelength in micrometres. Usually, it is sufficient to use a two-term form of the ...

  8. Far infrared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_infrared

    Diagram of part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Far infrared (FIR) or long wave refers to a specific range within the infrared spectrum of electromagnetic radiation.It encompasses radiation with wavelengths ranging from 15 μm (micrometers) to 1 mm, which corresponds to a frequency range of approximately 20 THz to 300 GHz.

  9. Dispersion staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_staining

    For large particles this is not a significant limitation but for small particles it is a problem. When the conditions for dispersion staining are met (the particle is mounted in a liquid with a matching refractive index in the visible range of wavelengths but with a very different refractive index) then the particle has a high refractive index ...
