  2. X band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_band

    The X band is the designation for a band of frequencies in the microwave radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In some cases, such as in communication engineering , the frequency range of the X band is rather indefinitely set at approximately 7.0–11.2 GHz .

  3. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    The s orbital is normalized and so the inner product s | s = 1. Also, the s orbital is orthogonal to the p i and p j orbitals, which leads to two terms in the above equaling zero. Finally, the last term is the inner product of two normalized functions that are at an angle of ω ij to each other, which gives cos ω ij by definition.

    For example, the S-band operates better in sea clutter and rain than the X-band, however, the X-band has greater definition and accuracy in clear weather. [1] Radar is a vital navigation component for safety at sea and near the shore.

    Solidified lava flow in Hawaii Sedimentary layers in Badlands National Park, South Dakota Metamorphic rock, Nunavut, Canada. Geology (from Ancient Greek γῆ (gê) 'earth' and λoγία () 'study of, discourse') [1] [2] is a branch of natural science concerned with the Earth and other astronomical objects, the rocks of which they are composed, and the processes by which they change over time.

  6. Geochemistry - Wikipedia

    Victor Goldschmidt (1909). The term geochemistry was first used by the Swiss-German chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1838: "a comparative geochemistry ought to be launched, before geognosy can become geology, and before the mystery of the genesis of our planets and their inorganic matter may be revealed."

  7. Bent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_bond

    This is because according to Bent's rule, the C–F bond gains p-orbital character leading to high s-character in the C–H bonds, and H–C–H bond angles approaching those of sp 2 orbitals – e.g. 120° – leaving less for the F–C–H bond angle. The difference is again explained in terms of bent bonds. [3]

  8. Electronic band structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_band_structure

    The band structure has been generalised to wavevectors that are complex numbers, resulting in what is called a complex band structure, which is of interest at surfaces and interfaces. Each model describes some types of solids very well, and others poorly. The nearly free electron model works well for metals, but poorly for non-metals.

  9. Band gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_gap

    The term "band gap" refers to the energy difference between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band. Electrons are able to jump from one band to another. However, in order for a valence band electron to be promoted to the conduction band, it requires a specific minimum amount of energy for the transition.
