  2. Fraunhofer diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_diffraction

    Double-slit interference fringes can be observed by cutting two slits in a piece of card, illuminating with a laser pointer, and observing the diffracted light at a distance of 1 m. If the slit separation is 0.5 mm, and the wavelength of the laser is 600 nm, then the spacing of the fringes viewed at a distance of 1 m would be 1.2 mm.

    The spacing of the fringes at a distance z from the slits is given by = = / For example, if two slits are separated by 0.5 mm (d), and are illuminated with a 0.6 μm wavelength laser (λ), then at a distance of 1 m (z), the spacing of the fringes will be 1.2 mm.

    1.5 mm – average length of a flea [27] 2.54 mmdistance between pins on old dual in-line package (DIP) electronic components; 5 mm – length of an average red ant; 5 mm – diameter of an average grain of rice; 5.56×45mm NATO – standard ammunition size; 6 mm – approximate width of a pencil

  5. Action at a distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_at_a_distance

    Action at a distance is the concept in physics that an object's motion can be affected by another object without the two being in physical contact; that is, it is the concept of the non-local interaction of objects that are separated in space. Coulomb's law and Newton's law of universal gravitation are based on action at a distance.

  6. Absement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

    [1] [2] Absement changes as an object remains displaced and stays constant as the object resides at the initial position. It is the first time-integral of the displacement [3] [4] (i.e. absement is the area under a displacement vs. time graph), so the displacement is the rate of change (first time-derivative) of the absement.

  7. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    The voltage required to arc this distance is 327 V, which is insufficient to ignite the arcs for gaps that are either wider or narrower. For a 3.5 μm gap, the required voltage is 533 V, nearly twice as much. If 500 V were applied, it would not be sufficient to arc at the 2.85 μm distance, but would arc at a 7.5 μm distance.

  8. Optical path length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_path_length

    This is because a larger number of wavelengths fit in the same distance due to the higher refractive index of the glass. The OPD can be calculated from the following equation: O P D = d 1 n 1 − d 2 n 2 {\displaystyle \mathrm {OPD} =d_{1}n_{1}-d_{2}n_{2}}

  9. Angstrom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom

    Portrait of Anders Ångström [15]. In 1868, Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström created a chart of the spectrum of sunlight, in which he expressed the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimetre (or 10 −7 mm.) [16] [17] Ångström's chart and table of wavelengths in the solar spectrum became widely used in ...
