  2. Fraunhofer lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_lines

    The D 1 and D 2 lines correspond to the fine-structure splitting of the excited states. The Fraunhofer H and K letters are also still used for the calcium II doublet in the violet part of the spectrum, important in astronomical spectroscopy. There is disagreement in the literature for some line designations; for example, the Fraunhofer d line ...

  3. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    The rotation is reported using degrees, and no units of concentration are given (it is assumed to be g/100mL). The sign of the rotation (+ or −) is always given. If the wavelength of the light used is 589 nanometer (the sodium D line), the symbol “D” is used. If the temperature is omitted, it is assumed to be at standard room temperature ...

  4. Sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium

    Emission spectrum for sodium, showing the D line. Sodium at standard temperature and pressure is a soft silvery metal that combines with oxygen in the air, forming sodium oxides. Bulk sodium is usually stored in oil or an inert gas. Sodium metal can be easily cut with a knife. It is a good conductor of electricity and heat.

  5. Refractometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractometry

    A reference wavelength of 589.3 nm (the sodium D line) is most often used. Though RI is a dimensionless quantity, it is typically reported as nD20 (or n 20 D ), where the "n" represents refractive index, the "D" denotes the wavelength, and the 20 denotes the reference temperature. Therefore, the refractive index of water at 20 degrees Celsius ...

  6. List of refractive indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices

    Standard refractive index measurements are taken at the "yellow doublet" sodium D line, with a wavelength (λ) of 589 nanometers. There are also weaker dependencies on temperature , pressure / stress , etc., as well on precise material compositions (presence of dopants , etc.); for many materials and typical conditions, however, these ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimeter

    The specific rotation [] is a physical property and defined as the optical rotation α at a path length l of 1 dm, a concentration c of 10 g/L, a temperature T (usually 20 °C) and a light wavelength λ (usually sodium D line at 589.3 nm): [4]
