  2. Colorimeter (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorimeter_(chemistry)

    A colorimeter is a device used in colorimetry that measures the absorbance of particular wavelengths of light by a specific solution. [1] [2] It is commonly used to determine the concentration of a known solute in a given solution by the application of the Beer–Lambert law, which states that the concentration of a solute is proportional to the absorbance.

  3. Jablonski diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jablonski_diagram

    In molecular spectroscopy, a Jablonski diagram is a diagram that illustrates the electronic states and often the vibrational levels of a molecule, and also the transitions between them. The states are arranged vertically by energy and grouped horizontally by spin multiplicity . [ 1 ]

  4. Green wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_wave

    On San Francisco's Valencia Street, the signals were retimed in early 2009 to provide a green wave in both directions, possibly the first street in the world with a two-way green wave for cyclists. In Copenhagen, a green wave on the arterial street Nørrebrogade facilitates 30,000 cyclists to maintain a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) for 2.5 km (1.6 ...

  5. Group velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_velocity

    The group velocity of a wave is the velocity with which the overall envelope shape of the wave's amplitudes—known as the modulation or envelope of the wave—propagates through space. For example, if a stone is thrown into the middle of a very still pond, a circular pattern of waves with a quiescent center appears in the water, also known as ...

  6. Wave speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_speed

    Wave speed is a wave property, which may refer to absolute value of: . phase velocity, the velocity at which a wave phase propagates at a certain frequency; group velocity, the propagation velocity for the envelope of wave groups and often of wave energy, different from the phase velocity for dispersive waves

  7. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    In the accompanying animation, it can be seen that the wave itself (orange-brown) travels at a phase velocity much faster than the speed of the envelope (black), which corresponds to the group velocity. This pulse might be a communications signal, for instance, and its information only travels at the group velocity rate, even though it consists ...

  8. Chromophore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromophore

    Healthy plants are perceived as green because chlorophyll absorbs mainly the blue and red wavelengths but green light, reflected by plant structures like cell walls, is less absorbed. [2] The eleven conjugated double bonds that form the chromophore of the β-carotene molecule are highlighted in red.

  9. Wavenumber–frequency diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber–frequency_diagram

    A wavenumber–frequency diagram is a plot displaying the relationship between the wavenumber (spatial frequency) and the frequency (temporal frequency) of certain phenomena. Usually frequencies are placed on the vertical axis, while wavenumbers are placed on the horizontal axis.
