  2. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    In a prism, the angle of deviation (δ) decreases with increase in the angle of incidence (i) up to a particular angle.This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δ min, D λ, or D m).

  3. Magnetic declination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_declination

    Magnetic deviation is the angle from a given magnetic bearing to the related bearing mark of the compass. Deviation is positive if a compass bearing mark (e.g., compass north) is right of the related magnetic bearing (e.g., magnetic north) and vice versa.

  4. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    The degree of deviation and the direction (incyclo or excyclo) can be determined by the angle of rotation that causes the line images to appear horizontal and parallel. The amount of cyclodeviation is measured in degrees, utilised from the scale on the trial frame

  5. Angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

    An angle larger than a right angle and smaller than a straight angle (between 90° and 180°) is called an obtuse angle [11] ("obtuse" meaning "blunt"). An angle equal to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ turn (180° or π radians) is called a straight angle. [10] An angle larger than a straight angle but less than 1 turn (between 180° and 360°) is called a ...

  6. Orthodontic indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodontic_indices

    Angle's classification only considers anteroposterior deviations in the sagittal plane while malocclusion is a three dimensional problem (sagittal, transverse and vertical) rather than two dimensional as described in Angle's classification. Angle's classification also disregards the relationship of the teeth to the face. [5]

  7. Track geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_geometry

    The angle between the radii lines is the degree of curvature. [10] The degree of curvature is inverse of radius. The larger the degree of curvature, the sharper the curve is. Expressing the curve in this way allows surveyors to use estimation and simpler tools in curve measurement.

  8. Malocclusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malocclusion

    Many authors have tried to modify or replace Angle's classification. This has resulted in many subtypes and new systems (see section below: Review of Angle's system of classes ). A deep bite (also known as a Type II Malocclusion) is a condition in which the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth, which can result in hard and soft tissue trauma, in ...

  9. Tangential angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_angle

    The tangential angle φ for an arbitrary curve A in P. In geometry, the tangential angle of a curve in the Cartesian plane, at a specific point, is the angle between the tangent line to the curve at the given point and the x-axis. [1] (Some authors define the angle as the deviation from the direction of the curve at some fixed starting point.
