  2. Half time (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_time_(physics)

    It can be seen that the quantity increases to one-half of its final value after one half time, to three-quarters after two half times, to seven-eighths after three half times, and so on. The relationship between the quantity (Q) and time (t) is described by the mathematical formula: = where Q f is the extremal value and λ is a constant ...

  3. Half-reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-reaction

    Two ions, positive (Mg 2+) and negative (O 2−) exist on product side and they combine immediately to form a compound magnesium oxide (MgO) due to their opposite charges (electrostatic attraction). In any given oxidation-reduction reaction, there are two half reactions—oxidation half reaction and reduction half reaction.

  4. Half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life

    In this situation it is generally uncommon to talk about half-life in the first place, but sometimes people will describe the decay in terms of its "first half-life", "second half-life", etc., where the first half-life is defined as the time required for decay from the initial value to 50%, the second half-life is from 50% to 25%, and so on.

  5. Full width at half maximum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_width_at_half_maximum

    Full width at half maximum. In a distribution, full width at half maximum (FWHM) is the difference between the two values of the independent variable at which the dependent variable is equal to half of its maximum value. In other words, it is the width of a spectrum curve measured between those points on the y-axis which are half the maximum ...

  6. Drude model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drude_model

    The two most significant results of the Drude model are an electronic equation of motion, = (+ ) , and a linear relationship between current density J and electric field E, =. Here t is the time, p is the average momentum per electron and q, n, m , and τ are respectively the electron charge, number density, mass, and mean free time between ...

  7. Matter wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave

    Using two formulas from special relativity, one for the relativistic mass energy and one for the relativistic momentum = = = = allows the equations for de Broglie wavelength and frequency to be written as = = = =, where = | | is the velocity, the Lorentz factor, and the speed of light in vacuum.

  8. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    A major use of the integrated equation is to estimate a new equilibrium constant at a new absolute temperature assuming a constant standard enthalpy change over the temperature range. To obtain the integrated equation, it is convenient to first rewrite the Van 't Hoff equation as [2]

  9. Equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation

    A Diophantine equation is a polynomial equation in two or more unknowns for which only the integer solutions are sought (an integer solution is a solution such that all the unknowns take integer values). A linear Diophantine equation is an equation between two sums of monomials of degree zero or one.
