  2. Lorentz factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_factor

    Its initial value is 1 (when v = 0); and as velocity approaches the speed of light (v → c) γ increases without bound (γ → ∞). α (Lorentz factor inverse) as a function of velocity—a circular arc. In the table below, the left-hand column shows speeds as different fractions of the speed of light (i.e. in units of c). The middle column ...

  3. Branching fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_fraction

    The half-life of this isotope is 6.480 days, [2] which corresponds to a total decay constant of 0.1070 d −1. Then the partial decay constants, as computed from the branching fractions, are 0.1050 d −1 for ε/β + decays, and 2.14×10 −4 d −1 for β − decays.

  4. Energy density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density

    In terms of density, m = ρV, where ρ is the volumetric mass density, V is the volume occupied by the mass. This energy can be released by the processes of nuclear fission (~ 0.1%), nuclear fusion (~ 1%), or the annihilation of some or all of the matter in the volume V by matter–antimatter collisions (100%). [citation needed]

  5. Mass excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_excess

    The mass excess of a nuclide is the difference between its actual mass and its mass number in daltons.It is one of the predominant methods for tabulating nuclear mass. The mass of an atomic nucleus is well approximated (less than 0.1% difference for most nuclides) by its mass number, which indicates that most of the mass of a nucleus arises from mass of its constituent protons and neutrons.

  6. Alcohol by volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume

    Volume fraction, which is widely used in chemistry (commonly denoted as v/v), is defined as the volume of a particular component divided by the sum of all components in the mixture when they are measured separately. For example, to make 100 mL of 50% alc/vol ethanol solution, water would be added to 50 mL of ethanol to make up exactly 100 mL.

  7. Mass concentration (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_concentration_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, the mass concentration ρ i (or γ i) is defined as the mass of a constituent m i divided by the volume of the mixture V. [1]= For a pure chemical the mass concentration equals its density (mass divided by volume); thus the mass concentration of a component in a mixture can be called the density of a component in a mixture.

  8. Brightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness

    The perception is not linear to luminance, and relies on the context of the viewing environment (for example, see White's illusion). Brightness is a subjective sensation of an object being observed and one of the color appearance parameters of many color appearance models , typically denoted as Q {\displaystyle Q} .

  9. Asthenosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthenosphere

    The asthenosphere in relation to the other layers of Earth's structure. The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments.
