The Langmuir adsorption model deviates significantly in many cases, primarily because it fails to account for the surface roughness of the adsorbent. Rough inhomogeneous surfaces have multiple site types available for adsorption, with some parameters varying from site to site, such as the heat of adsorption.
The Hertz–Knudsen equation describes the non-dissociative adsorption of a gas molecule on a surface by expressing the variation of the number of molecules impacting on the surfaces per unit of time as a function of the pressure of the gas and other parameters which characterise both the gas phase molecule and the surface: [1] [2]
Betteridge's law of headlines: "any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word 'no ' ". Betz's law: No wind turbine can capture more than 16/27 (59.3%) of the kinetic energy in wind, independent of the design of the turbine, in open flow. Biot–Savart law describes the magnetic field set up by a steady current density.

The Langmuir isotherm is nonetheless the first choice for most models of adsorption and has many applications in surface kinetics (usually called Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetics) and thermodynamics. Langmuir suggested that adsorption takes place through this mechanism: A g + S ⇌ A S {\displaystyle A_{\text{g}}+S\rightleftharpoons AS} , where ...
Plasma oscillations, also known as Langmuir waves (after Irving Langmuir), are rapid oscillations of the electron density in conducting media such as plasmas or metals in the ultraviolet region. The oscillations can be described as an instability in the dielectric function of a free electron gas. The frequency depends only weakly on the ...
The langmuir (symbol: L) is a unit of exposure (or dosage) to a surface (e.g. of a crystal) and is used in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) surface physics to study the adsorption of gases. It is a practical unit, and is not dimensionally homogeneous , and so is used only in this field.
