  2. Anthracene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracene

    Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) of formula C 14 H 10, consisting of three fused benzene rings. It is a component of coal tar . Anthracene is used in the production of the red dye alizarin and other dyes, as a Scintillator to detect high energy particles, as production of pharmaceutical drugs.

  3. List of refractive indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices

    Standard refractive index measurements are taken at the "yellow doublet" sodium D line, with a wavelength (λ) of 589 nanometers. There are also weaker dependencies on temperature , pressure / stress , etc., as well on precise material compositions (presence of dopants , etc.); for many materials and typical conditions, however, these ...

  4. Refractive index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_index

    The absolute refractive index n of an optical medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum, c = 299 792 458 m/s, ...

  5. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

    The most general form of Cauchy's equation is = + + +,where n is the refractive index, λ is the wavelength, A, B, C, etc., are coefficients that can be determined for a material by fitting the equation to measured refractive indices at known wavelengths.

    9,10-Bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA) is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula is C 30 H 18. It displays strong fluorescence and is used as a chemiluminescent fluorophore with high quantum efficiency. It is used in lightsticks as a fluorophor producing ghostly green light. It is also used as a dopant for organic semiconductors in ...

  8. Gladstone–Dale relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladstone–Dale_relation

    The refractivity of a single molecule is the refractive volume k(MW)/N A in nm 3, where MW is the molecular weight and N A is the Avogadro constant. To calculate the optical properties of materials using the polarizability or refractivity volumes in nm 3 , the Gladstone–Dale relation competes with the Kramers–Kronig relation and Lorentz ...

  9. Scintillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillator

    The high scintillation luminosity is surprising because (1) with a refractive index of about 3.5, escape is inhibited by total internal reflection and (2) experiments at 90K report narrow-beam infrared absorption coefficients of several per cm. [44] [45] [46] Recent Monte Carlo and Feynman path integral calculations have shown that the high ...
