  2. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The solid angle subtended at the corner of a cube (an octant) or spanned by a spherical octant is π /2 sr, one-eight of the solid angle of a sphere. [ 1 ] Solid angles can also be measured in square degrees (1 sr = ( 180/ π ) 2 square degrees), in square arc-minutes and square arc-seconds , or in fractions of the sphere (1 sr = ⁠ 1 / 4 π ...

  3. Steradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steradian

    The solid angle subtended is the same as that of a cone with the same projected area. A solid angle of one steradian subtends a cone aperture of approximately 1.144 radians or 65.54 degrees. In the SI, solid angle is considered to be a dimensionless quantity, the ratio of the area projected onto a surrounding sphere and the square of the sphere ...

  4. Angular diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_diameter

    Angular diameter: the angle subtended by an object. The angular diameter, angular size, apparent diameter, or apparent size is an angular separation (in units of angle) describing how large a sphere or circle appears from a given point of view. In the vision sciences, it is called the visual angle, and in optics, it is the angular aperture (of ...

  5. Radiant intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_intensity

    Radiant intensity is used to characterize the emission of radiation by an antenna: [2], = (), where E e is the irradiance of the antenna;; r is the distance from the antenna.; Unlike power density, radiant intensity does not depend on distance: because radiant intensity is defined as the power through a solid angle, the decreasing power density over distance due to the inverse-square law is ...

  6. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

    Luminous intensity is the perceived power per unit solid angle. 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 steradian then the source would have a ...

    Parametric Graphs: Yes; Implicit Polynomials: Yes; Web Export: all constructions exportable as web pages as a Java applet; Macros: usable both as tools with the mouse and as commands in the input field; Animation: Yes; Spreadsheet: Yes, the cells can contain any GeoGebra object (numbers, points, functions etc.) Dynamic text: Yes (including LaTeX)

  8. Directivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directivity

    which simply calculates the ratio of the beam solid angle to the solid angle of a sphere. The beam solid angle can be approximated for antennas with one narrow major lobe and very negligible minor lobes by simply multiplying the half-power beamwidths (in radians) in two perpendicular planes. The half-power beamwidth is simply the angle in which ...

  9. Ligand cone angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand_cone_angle

    In contrast, the solid-angle concept derives both bond length and the perimeter from empirical solid state crystal structures. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] There are advantages to each system. If the geometry of a ligand is known, either through crystallography or computations, an exact cone angle ( θ ) can be calculated.
