  2. Table of Newtonian series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_Newtonian_series

    Newtonian series often appear in relations of the form seen in umbral calculus. ... This formula is a special case of the kth forward difference of the monomial x n ...

  3. Rotations and reflections in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotations_and_reflections...

    The set of all reflections in lines through the origin and rotations about the origin, together with the operation of composition of reflections and rotations, forms a group. The group has an identity: Rot(0). Every rotation Rot(φ) has an inverse Rot(−φ). Every reflection Ref(θ) is its own inverse. Composition has closure and is ...

    Visulization of flux through differential area and solid angle. As always ^ is the unit normal to the incident surface A, = ^, and ^ is a unit vector in the direction of incident flux on the area element, θ is the angle between them.

  5. Newtonian telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_telescope

    Newtonian telescope design. A Newtonian telescope is composed of a primary mirror or objective, usually parabolic in shape, and a smaller flat secondary mirror.The primary mirror makes it possible to collect light from the pointed region of the sky, while the secondary mirror redirects the light out of the optical axis at a right angle so it can be viewed with an eyepiece.

  6. Gravitational lensing formalism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lensing...

    to get the line element along the bended path = ⁡ with a varying small pitch angle (), and the refraction index n for the "aether", i.e., the gravitational field. The last can be obtained from the fact that a photon travels on a null geodesic of a weakly perturbed static Minkowski universe

  7. Newton's reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_reflector

    He added to his reflector what is the hallmark of the design of a "Newtonian telescope", a secondary "diagonal" mirror near the primary mirror's focus to reflect the image at 90° angle to an eyepiece mounted on the side of the telescope. This unique addition allowed the image to be viewed with minimal obstruction of the objective mirror.

  8. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    Thinfilm – Web interface for calculating optical properties of thin films and multilayer materials (reflection & transmission coefficients, ellipsometric parameters Psi & Delta). Simple web interface for calculating single-interface reflection and refraction angles and strengths .

  9. Opticks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opticks

    Voltaire popularised Newtonian science, including the content of both the Principia and the Opticks, in his Elements de la philosophie de Newton (1738), and after about 1750 the combination of the experimental methods exemplified by the Opticks and the mathematical methods exemplified by the Principia were established as a unified and ...
