  2. Intercept method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_method

    Intercept method. In astronomical navigation, the intercept method, also known as Marcq St. Hilaire method, is a method of calculating an observer's position on Earth ( geopositioning ). It was originally called the azimuth intercept method because the process involves drawing a line which intercepts the azimuth line.

  3. Intercept theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_theorem

    The intercept theorem, also known as Thales's theorem, basic proportionality theorem or side splitter theorem, is an important theorem in elementary geometry about the ratios of various line segments that are created if two rays with a common starting point are intercepted by a pair of parallels. It is equivalent to the theorem about ratios in ...

  4. Mott–Schottky plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mott–Schottky_plot

    The intercept with the x-axis shows the flatband situation, that reveals the built-in potential, depending on the reference of voltage in the electrolyte side. (d) In the presence of a surface state of density N ss , when the Fermi level reaches the bandgap state level, it is discharged and a plateau occurs depending on the value of the ...

  5. Zisman Plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zisman_Plot

    The Zisman plot the graphical method of the Zisman theory or the Zisman method for characterizing the wettability of a solid surface [1], named for the American chemist and geophysicist, William Albert Zisman (1905–1986). It is a prominent Sessile drop technique used for characterizing liquid-surface interactions based on the contact angle of ...

  6. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_(geometry)

    e. In geometry, a straight line, usually abbreviated line, is an infinitely long object with no width, depth, or curvature, an idealization of such physical objects as a straightedge, a taut string, or a ray of light. Lines are spaces of dimension one, which may be embedded in spaces of dimension two, three, or higher.

  7. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    Spectral line shape or spectral line profile describes the form of an electromagnetic spectrum in the vicinity of a spectral line – a region of stronger or weaker intensity in the spectrum. Ideal line shapes include Lorentzian, Gaussian and Voigt functions, whose parameters are the line position, maximum height and half-width. [1]

  8. Sight reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_reduction

    Sight reduction. In astronavigation, sight reduction is the process of deriving from a sight (in celestial navigation usually obtained using a sextant) the information needed for establishing a line of position, generally by intercept method. Sight is defined as the observation of the altitude, and sometimes also the azimuth, of a celestial ...

  9. Standard addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_addition

    The Standard addition method, often used in analytical chemistry, quantifies the analyte present in an unknown. This method is useful for analyzing complex samples where a matrix effect interferes with the analyte signal. In comparison to the calibration curve method, the standard addition method has the advantage of the matrices of the unknown ...
