  2. Absorption band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_band

    A wide variety of absorption band and line shapes exist, and the analysis of the band or line shape can be used to determine information about the system that causes it. In many cases it is convenient to assume that a narrow spectral line is a Lorentzian or Gaussian , depending respectively on the decay mechanism or temperature effects like ...

  3. Line-of-sight propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-of-sight_propagation

    Line of sight (LoS) propagation from an antenna. Line-of-sight propagation is a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation which means waves can only travel in a direct visual path from the source to the receiver without obstacles. [1] Electromagnetic transmission includes light emissions traveling in a straight line.

  4. Zero-phonon line and phonon sideband - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-phonon_line_and...

    The zero-phonon line is located at a frequency ω’ determined by the intrinsic difference in energy levels between ground and excited state as well as by the local environment. The phonon sideband is shifted to a higher frequency in absorption and to a lower frequency in fluorescence. The frequency gap Δ between the zero-phonon line and the ...

  5. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    A spectral line is a weaker or stronger region in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum. It may result from emission or absorption of light in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies. Spectral lines are often used to identify atoms and molecules. These "fingerprints" can be compared to the previously collected ones ...

  6. Electronic band structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_band_structure

    Since there are many atoms, the orbitals are very close in energy, and form continuous bands. The Pauli exclusion principle limits the number of electrons in a single orbital to two, and the bands are filled beginning with the lowest energy. At the actual diamond crystal cell size denoted by a, two bands are formed, separated by a 5.5 eV band gap.

  7. Two Lines Oblique Down, Variation III - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Lines_Oblique_Down...

    The pendulum-inspired design of Two Lines Oblique Down, Variation III is typical of Rickey’s geometric, kinetic artwork. [2] Measuring by the greatest extension of the sculpture's "arms," its size is 31' x 42' x 8'. [3] It is constructed from at least five primary, stainless steel components which have been welded and bolted together to form ...

  8. Optical flat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_flat

    At 2 inches (5.1 cm) in diameter and 0.5 inches (13 mm) thick, both surfaces are flat to within 1/10 of the wavelength of the light (58.9 nm), as indicated by the perfectly straight fringes. An optical flat is an optical -grade piece of glass lapped and polished to be extremely flat on one or both sides, usually within a few tens of nanometres ...

  9. Müller-Lyer illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Müller-Lyer_illusion

    All the shafts of the arrows are of the same physical length. The Müller-Lyer illusion is an optical illusion consisting of three stylized arrows. When viewers are asked to place a mark on the figure at the midpoint, they tend to place it more towards the "tail" end. The illusion was devised by Franz Carl Müller-Lyer (1857–1916), a German ...
