  2. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    Gamma rays, at the high-frequency end of the spectrum, have the highest photon energies and the shortest wavelengths—much smaller than an atomic nucleus. Gamma rays, X-rays, and extreme ultraviolet rays are called ionizing radiation because their high photon energy is able to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions. Longer-wavelength ...

  3. Shockley–Queisser limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley–Queisser_limit

    The maximum value of f without light concentration (with reflectors for example) is just f ω /2, or 1.09 × 10 −5, according to the authors. Using the above-mentioned values of Q s and Q c, this gives a ratio of open-circuit voltage to thermal voltage of 32.4 (V oc equal to 77% of the band gap). The authors derive the equation

  4. Satiety value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satiety_value

    [1] [2] Highest satiety value is expected when the food that remains in the stomach for a longer period produces greatest functional activity of the organ. [3] [4] Limiting the food intake after reaching the satiety value helps reduce obesity problems. [5] [6] Foods with the most satiation per calorie are often:

  5. Brillouin zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brillouin_zone

    The boundaries of this cell are given by planes related to points on the reciprocal lattice. The importance of the Brillouin zone stems from the description of waves in a periodic medium given by Bloch's theorem , in which it is found that the solutions can be completely characterized by their behavior in a single Brillouin zone.

  6. Molecular vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_vibration

    A molecular vibration is a periodic motion of the atoms of a molecule relative to each other, such that the center of mass of the molecule remains unchanged. The typical vibrational frequencies range from less than 10 13 Hz to approximately 10 14 Hz, corresponding to wavenumbers of approximately 300 to 3000 cm −1 and wavelengths of approximately 30 to 3 μm.

  7. Mitochondrion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion

    The number of mitochondria in a cell can vary widely by organism, tissue, and cell type. A mature red blood cell has no mitochondria, [19] whereas a liver cell can have more than 2000. [20] [21] The mitochondrion is composed of compartments that carry out specialized functions.

  8. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

    Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light (or simply light). The optical spectrum is sometimes considered to be the same as the visible spectrum, but some authors define the term more broadly, to include the ultraviolet and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum as well, known collectively as optical ...

  9. Depolarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depolarization

    The process of depolarization is entirely dependent upon the intrinsic electrical nature of most cells. When a cell is at rest, the cell maintains what is known as a resting potential. The resting potential generated by nearly all cells results in the interior of the cell having a negative charge compared to the exterior of the cell.
