  2. Euclidean vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector

    A Euclidean vector may possess a definite initial point and terminal point; such a condition may be emphasized calling the result a bound vector. [12] When only the magnitude and direction of the vector matter, and the particular initial or terminal points are of no importance, the vector is called a free vector .

  3. X-ray transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_transform

    where x 0 is an initial point on the line and θ is a unit vector in R n giving the direction of the line L. The latter integral is not regarded in the oriented sense: it is the integral with respect to the 1-dimensional Lebesgue measure on the Euclidean line L. The X-ray transform satisfies an ultrahyperbolic wave equation called John's equation.

  4. UV mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping

    In the example to the right, a sphere is given a checkered texture in two ways. On the left, without UV mapping, the sphere is carved out of three-dimensional checkers tiling Euclidean space. With UV mapping, the checkers tile the two-dimensional UV space, and points on the sphere map to this space according to their latitude and longitude.

  5. Vector (mathematics and physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(mathematics_and...

    In the natural sciences, a vector quantity (also known as a vector physical quantity, physical vector, or simply vector) is a vector-valued physical quantity. [9] [10] It is typically formulated as the product of a unit of measurement and a vector numerical value (), often a Euclidean vector with magnitude and direction.

  6. X-ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray

    Natural color X-ray photogram of a wine scene. Note the edges of hollow cylinders as compared to the solid candle. William Coolidge explains medical imaging and X-rays.. An X-ray (also known in many languages as Röntgen radiation) is a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than those of ultraviolet rays and longer than those of gamma rays.

  7. Euclidean space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_space

    A Euclidean vector space is a finite-dimensional inner product space over the real numbers. [6] A Euclidean space is an affine space over the reals such that the associated vector space is a Euclidean vector space. Euclidean spaces are sometimes called Euclidean affine spaces to distinguish them from Euclidean vector spaces. [6]

  8. X-ray optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_optics

    X-ray optics is the branch of optics dealing with X-rays, rather than visible light.It deals with focusing and other ways of manipulating the X-ray beams for research techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray crystallography, X-ray fluorescence, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray microscopy, X-ray phase-contrast imaging, and X-ray astronomy.

  9. Atomic form factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_form_factor

    X-ray atomic form factors of oxygen (blue), chlorine (green), Cl − (magenta), and K + (red); smaller charge distributions have a wider form factor. In physics , the atomic form factor , or atomic scattering factor , is a measure of the scattering amplitude of a wave by an isolated atom.
