  2. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Within optics, dispersion is a property of telecommunication signals along transmission lines (such as microwaves in coaxial cable) or the pulses of light in optical fiber. In optics, one important and familiar consequence of dispersion is the change in the angle of refraction of different colors of light, [2] as seen in the spectrum produced ...

  3. Hall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect

    In ferromagnetic materials (and paramagnetic materials in a magnetic field), the Hall resistivity includes an additional contribution, known as the anomalous Hall effect (or the extraordinary Hall effect), which depends directly on the magnetization of the material, and is often much larger than the ordinary Hall effect.

  4. Electron magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_magnetic_moment

    Electron magnetic moment. In atomic physics, the electron magnetic moment, or more specifically the electron magnetic dipole moment, is the magnetic moment of an electron resulting from its intrinsic properties of spin and electric charge. The value of the electron magnetic moment (symbol μe) is −9.284 764 6917(29) × 10−24 J⋅T−1. [1]

  5. Color blindness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness

    Anomalous trichromacy is the mildest type of color deficiency, but the severity ranges from almost dichromacy (strong) to almost normal trichromacy (mild). [30] In fact, many mild anomalous trichromats have very little difficulty carrying out tasks that require normal color vision and some may not even be aware that they have a color vision ...

  6. Nucleon magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleon_magnetic_moment

    [7]: 73 The torque on the neutron that results from an external magnetic field is towards aligning the neutron's spin vector opposite to the magnetic field vector. [ 8 ] : 385 The nuclear magneton is the spin magnetic moment of a Dirac particle , a charged, spin-1/2 elementary particle, with a proton's mass m p , in which anomalous corrections ...

  7. Nernst effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nernst_effect

    In physics and chemistry, the Nernst effect (also termed the first Nernst–Ettingshausen effect, after Walther Nernst and Albert von Ettingshausen) is a thermoelectric (or thermomagnetic) phenomenon observed when a sample allowing electrical conduction is subjected to a magnetic field and a temperature gradient normal (perpendicular) to each ...

  8. Anomaly (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomaly_(physics)

    Scientists. v. t. e. In quantum physics an anomaly or quantum anomaly is the failure of a symmetry of a theory's classical action to be a symmetry of any regularization of the full quantum theory. [1][2] In classical physics, a classical anomaly is the failure of a symmetry to be restored in the limit in which the symmetry-breaking parameter ...

  9. Electric dipole moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_dipole_moment

    The electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within a system: that is, a measure of the system's overall polarity. The SI unit for electric dipole moment is the coulomb - meter (C⋅m). The debye (D) is another unit of measurement used in atomic physics and chemistry.
