  2. Retardation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retardation_factor

    An R F value will always be in the range 0 to 1; if the substance moves, it can only move in the direction of the solvent flow, and cannot move faster than the solvent. For example, if particular substance in an unknown mixture travels 2.5 cm and the solvent front travels 5.0 cm, the retardation factor would be 0.50.

  3. R-factor (crystallography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-factor_(crystallography)

    In the Cambridge Structural Database of small-molecule structures, more than 95% of the 500,000+ crystals have an R-factor lower than 0.15, and 9.5% have an R-factor lower than 0.03. Crystallographers also use the Free R-Factor ( R F r e e {\displaystyle R_{Free}} ) [ 3 ] to assess possible overmodeling of the data.

  4. Robinson–Foulds metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson–Foulds_metric

    The Robinson–Foulds or symmetric difference metric, often abbreviated as the RF distance, is a simple way to calculate the distance between phylogenetic trees. [1]It is defined as (A + B) where A is the number of partitions of data implied by the first tree but not the second tree and B is the number of partitions of data implied by the second tree but not the first tree (although some ...

  5. Chromatographic response function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatographic_response...

    Another function is the multispot response function (MRF) as developed by De Spiegeleer et al.{Analytical Chemistry (1987):59(1),62-64} It is based also of differences product. This function always lies between 0 and 1. When two RF values are equal, it is equal to 0, when all RF values are equal-spread, it is equal to 1.

  6. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    In Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z), let the region y < 0 have refractive index n 1, intrinsic admittance Y 1, etc., and let the region y > 0 have refractive index n 2, intrinsic admittance Y 2, etc. Then the xz plane is the interface, and the y axis is normal to the interface (see diagram).

  7. Refractive index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_index

    [1]: 236 The birefringence of the material is the difference between these indices of refraction, Δn = n e − n o. [1]: 237 Light propagating in the direction of the optical axis will not be affected by the birefringence since the refractive index will be n o independent of polarization. For other propagation directions the light will split ...

  8. Reflection coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_coefficient

    While having a one-to-one correspondence with reflection coefficient, SWR is the most commonly used figure of merit in describing the mismatch affecting a radio antenna or antenna system. It is most often measured at the transmitter side of a transmission line, but having, as explained, the same value as would be measured at the antenna (load ...

    m −1: Spectral radiant flux absorbed and scattered by a volume per unit length, divided by that received by that volume. Directional attenuation coefficient: μ Ω: m −1: Radiance absorbed and scattered by a volume per unit length, divided by that received by that volume.
