  2. M squared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_squared

    M 2 is useful because it reflects how well a collimated laser beam can be focused to a small spot, or how well a divergent laser source can be collimated. It is a better guide to beam quality than Gaussian appearance because there are many cases in which a beam can look Gaussian, yet have an M 2 value far from unity. [1]

  3. Square metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_metre

    Comparison of 1 square metre with some Imperial and metric units of area. The square metre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures) or square meter (American spelling) is the unit of area in the International System of Units (SI) with symbol m 2. [1]

  4. Modigliani risk-adjusted performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modigliani_risk-adjusted...

    Modigliani risk-adjusted performance (also known as M 2, M2, Modigliani–Modigliani measure or RAP) is a measure of the risk-adjusted returns of some investment portfolio. It measures the returns of the portfolio, adjusted for the risk of the portfolio relative to that of some benchmark (e.g., the market).

  5. Area density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_density

    Fabric "weight" is often specified as mass per unit area, grams per square meter (gsm) or ounces per square yard. It is also sometimes specified in ounces per yard in a standard width for the particular cloth. One gram per square meter equals 0.0295 ounces per square yard; one ounce per square yard equals 33.9 grams per square meter.

  7. Specific surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_surface_area

    Ceramic Raschig rings.....and plastic BiaƂecki rings of increased SSA. Values obtained for specific surface area depend on the method of measurement. In adsorption based methods, the size of the adsorbate molecule (the probe molecule), the exposed crystallographic planes at the surface and measurement temperature all affect the obtained specific surface area.

  8. Metre per second squared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_per_second_squared

    The metre per second squared is the unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI). As a derived unit, it is composed from the SI base units of length, the metre, and time, the second.

  9. Radar cross section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_cross_section

    The size of a target's image on radar is measured by the radar cross section or RCS, often represented by the symbol σ and expressed in square meters. This does not equal geometric area. A perfectly conducting sphere of projected cross sectional area 1 m 2 (i.e. a diameter of 1.13 m) will have an RCS of 1 m 2. For radar wavelengths much less ...
