  2. Fine-structure constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant

    This value for α gives µ 0 = 4π × 0.999 999 999 87 (16) × 10 −7 H⋅m −1, 0.8 times the standard uncertainty away from its old defined value, with the mean differing from the old value by only 0.13 parts per billion. Historically the value of the reciprocal of the fine-structure constant is often given. The CODATA recommended value is [11]

  3. Experimental uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_uncertainty...

    The "biased mean" vertical line is found using the expression above for μ z, and it agrees well with the observed mean (i.e., calculated from the data; dashed vertical line), and the biased mean is above the "expected" value of 100. The dashed curve shown in this figure is a Normal PDF that will be addressed later.

  4. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    Specific modulus is a materials property consisting of the elastic modulus per mass density of a material. It is also known as the stiffness to weight ratio or specific stiffness.

  5. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...

  6. Schwarzschild radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius

    The Schwarzschild radius or the gravitational radius is a physical parameter in the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equations that corresponds to the radius defining the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. It is a characteristic radius associated with any quantity of mass.

  7. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    Churchill equation [24] (1977) is the only equation that can be evaluated for very slow flow (Reynolds number < 1), but the Cheng (2008), [25] and Bellos et al. (2018) [8] equations also return an approximately correct value for friction factor in the laminar flow region (Reynolds number < 2300). All of the others are for transitional and ...

  8. Mach number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number

    It is first determined whether M is indeed greater than 1.0 by calculating M from the subsonic equation. If M is greater than 1.0 at that point, then the value of M from the subsonic equation is used as the initial condition for fixed point iteration of the supersonic equation, which usually converges very rapidly. [8]

  9. Numerical aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_aperture

    In laser physics, numerical aperture is defined slightly differently. Laser beams spread out as they propagate, but slowly. Laser beams spread out as they propagate, but slowly. Far away from the narrowest part of the beam, the spread is roughly linear with distance—the laser beam forms a cone of light in the "far field".
