  2. Light transport theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_transport_theory

    It forms the foundation of light transport theory, which models how light interacts with surfaces, volumes, and media. Energy Transfer Models: Light interacts with media through absorption, reflection, and transmission. These processes are governed by the rendering equation, which models the distribution of light in a scene. [1]

  3. Luminous flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_flux

    The luminous intensity (in candelas) is a measure of how bright the beam in a particular direction is. If a lamp has a 1 lumen bulb and the optics of the lamp are set up to focus the light evenly into a 1 steradian beam, then the beam would have a luminous intensity of 1 candela. If the optics were changed to concentrate the beam into 1/2 ...

  4. Telegrapher's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegrapher's_equations

    Every two-wire or balanced transmission line has an implicit (or in some cases explicit) third wire which is called the shield, sheath, common, earth, or ground. So every two-wire balanced transmission line has two modes which are nominally called the differential mode and common mode. The circuit shown in the bottom diagram only can model the ...

  5. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    A type of transmission line called a cage line, used for high power, low frequency applications. It functions similarly to a large coaxial cable. It functions similarly to a large coaxial cable. This example is the antenna feed line for a longwave radio transmitter in Poland , which operates at a frequency of 225 kHz and a power of 1200 kW.

  6. Reflection coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_coefficient

    The magnitude of the reflection coefficient in a lossless transmission line is constant along the line (as are the powers in the forward and reflected waves). However its phase will be shifted by an amount dependent on the electrical distance ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } from the load.

  7. Magnitude (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(astronomy)

    An illustration of light sources from magnitude 1 to 3.5, in 0.5 increments. In astronomy, magnitude is a measure of the brightness of an object, usually in a defined passband. An imprecise but systematic determination of the magnitude of objects was introduced in ancient times by Hipparchus. Magnitude values do not have a unit.

  8. Reflections of signals on conducting lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflections_of_signals_on...

    A time-domain reflectometer; an instrument used to locate the position of faults on lines from the time taken for a reflected wave to return from the discontinuity.. A signal travelling along an electrical transmission line will be partly, or wholly, reflected back in the opposite direction when the travelling signal encounters a discontinuity in the characteristic impedance of the line, or if ...

  9. Transmission-line matrix method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission-line_matrix...

    The transmission-line matrix (TLM) method is a space and time discretising method for computation of electromagnetic fields. It is based on the analogy between the electromagnetic field and a mesh of transmission lines .
