  2. Snell's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell's_law

    Yet another way to derive Snell's law is based on translation symmetry considerations. [21] For example, a homogeneous surface perpendicular to the z direction cannot change the transverse momentum. Since the propagation vector k → {\displaystyle {\vec {k}}} is proportional to the photon's momentum, the transverse propagation direction ( k x ...

  3. Glide reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_reflection

    Combining two equal glide plane operations gives a pure translation with a translation vector that is twice that of the glide reflection, so the even powers of the glide reflection form a translation group. In the case of glide-reflection symmetry, the symmetry group of an object contains a glide reflection and the group generated by it. For ...

  4. Reflective listening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_listening

    Reflective listening takes practice. [2] Reflective listening is one of the skills of motivational interviewing , a style of communication that works collaboratively to encourage change. [ 3 ] Failure to understand the needs of the person speaking can result in errors in work, such as problems being unresolved, or decisions not being quickly made.

  5. Translation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(geometry)

    In Euclidean geometry, a translation is a geometric transformation that moves every point of a figure, shape or space by the same distance in a given direction. A translation can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant vector to every point, or as shifting the origin of the coordinate system. In a Euclidean space, any translation is ...

  6. Transformation geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_geometry

    An exploration of transformation geometry often begins with a study of reflection symmetry as found in daily life. The first real transformation is reflection in a line or reflection against an axis. The composition of two reflections results in a rotation when the lines intersect, or a translation when they are parallel.

  7. Reflective practice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_practice

    Reflective practice is the ability to reflect on one's actions so as to take a critical stance or attitude towards one's own practice and that of one's peers, engaging in a process of continuous adaptation and learning.

    A syllabus based on the grammar or structure of a language; often part of the grammar translation method. Guided practice An intermediate stage in language practice - between "controlled practice" (q.v.) and "free practice" (q.v.) activities; this stage features allows for some creativity from the students.

  9. Essay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essay

    A reflective essay is an analytical piece of writing in which the writer describes a real or imaginary scene, event, interaction, passing thought, memory, or form—adding a personal reflection on the meaning of the topic in the author's life. Thus, the focus is not merely descriptive.
