    PMMA transmits up to 92% of visible light (3 mm (0.12 in) thickness), [18] and gives a reflection of about 4% from each of its surfaces due to its refractive index (1.4905 at 589.3 nm). [3] It filters ultraviolet (UV) light at wavelengths below about 300 nm (similar to ordinary window glass).

    The area density (also known as areal density, surface density, superficial density, areic density, mass thickness, column density, or density thickness) of a two-dimensional object is calculated as the mass per unit area. The SI derived unit is the "kilogram per square metre" (kg·m −2).

    For a tropical fish tank, maintaining a warm environmental temperature ranging between 75 and 86 °F (24 to 30 °C) enables different tropical fish to thrive at different temperatures. [2] Aquarium substrate usually consists of sand or gravel. Aquarium substrate is important for the fish's health and replicating their natural environment.

  8. Thin-film thickness monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_thickness_monitor

    Thin-film thickness monitors, deposition rate controllers, and so on, are a family of instruments used in high and ultra-high vacuum systems. They can measure the thickness of a thin film, not only after it has been made, but while it is still being deposited, and some can control either the final thickness of the film, the rate at which it is deposited, or both.
