  2. Collision frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_frequency

    Collision frequency describes the rate of collisions between two atomic or molecular species in a given volume, per unit time. In an ideal gas , assuming that the species behave like hard spheres, the collision frequency between entities of species A and species B is: [ 1 ]

  3. Plasma parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_parameters

    The plasma collisionality is defined as [4] [5] =, where denotes the electron-ion collision frequency, is the major radius of the plasma, is the inverse aspect-ratio, and is the safety factor. The plasma parameters m i {\displaystyle m_{\mathrm {i} }} and T i {\displaystyle T_{\mathrm {i} }} denote, respectively, the mass and temperature of the ...

  4. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    Bohr's formula was W τ 2 − W τ 1 = hν where W τ 2 and W τ 1 denote the energy levels of quantum states of an atom, with quantum numbers τ 2 and τ 1. The symbol ν denotes the frequency of a quantum of radiation that can be

  5. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    A scheme comparing direct collision and diffusive collision, with corresponding rate equations. For a diluted solution in the gas or the liquid phase, the collision equation developed for neat gas is not suitable when diffusion takes control of the collision frequency, i.e., the direct collision between the two molecules no longer dominates ...

  6. Shock response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_response_spectrum

    Repeat steps 2–4 for many other values of f, and connect all the dots together into a smooth curve. The resulting plot of peak acceleration vs test system frequency is called a Shock Response Spectrum. It is often plotted with frequency in Hz, and with acceleration in units of g

  7. Boltzmann equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_equation

    The general equation can then be written as [6] = + + (),. where the "force" term corresponds to the forces exerted on the particles by an external influence (not by the particles themselves), the "diff" term represents the diffusion of particles, and "coll" is the collision term – accounting for the forces acting between particles in collisions.

  8. Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Boltzmann...

    Z is the partition function, corresponding to the denominator in equation 1; m is the molecular mass of the gas; T is the thermodynamic temperature; k B is the Boltzmann constant. This distribution of N i : N is proportional to the probability density function f p for finding a molecule with these values of momentum components, so:

  9. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    The intensity of each component is a function of at least 3 parameters, position, height and half-width. In addition one or both of the line shape function and baseline function may not be known with certainty. When two or more parameters of a fitting curve are not known the method of non-linear least squares must be used.
