  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. Radio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_frequency

    Electric currents that oscillate at radio frequencies (RF currents) have special properties not shared by direct current or lower audio frequency alternating current, such as the 50 or 60 Hz current used in electrical power distribution. Energy from RF currents in conductors can radiate into space as electromagnetic waves (radio waves). [2]

  4. Electromagnetic radio frequency convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_Radio...

    Notional example of a simple network topology that highlights the current RF spectrum challenges. The network consists of two users, a communications user and a radar user, and a source of external interference. Users can operate either by occupying the same spectrum or by being physically co-located (occupying the same space).

  5. Effective radiated power - Wikipedia

    ERP < 22.77 dB W and EIRP < 24.92 dB W, both less than ideal by η in dB. Assuming that the receiver is in the first side-lobe of the transmitting antenna, and each value is further reduced by 7.2 dB, which is the decrease in directivity from the main to side-lobe of a Yagi–Uda.

  6. 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.

  7. Multipactor effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipactor_effect

    The existence of multipactor is dependent on the following three conditions being met: The average number of electrons released is greater than or equal to one per incident electron (this is dependent on the secondary electron yield of the surface), and the time taken by the electron to travel from the surface from which it was released to the ...

  8. Fresnel zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone

    A Fresnel zone (English: / f r eɪ ˈ n ɛ l / fray-NEL), named after physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel, is one of a series of confocal prolate ellipsoidal regions of space between and around a transmitter and a receiver. The primary wave will travel in a relative straight line from the transmitter to the receiver.

  9. Extremely low frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency

    For example, a 3 Hz signal has a wavelength equal to the distance electromagnetic waves travel through a given medium in one third of a second. When the refractive index of the medium is greater than one, ELF waves propagate slower than the speed of light in vacuum. As used in military applications, the wavelength is 299,792 km (186,282 mi) per ...
