Reciprocal length. Reciprocal length or inverse length is a quantity or measurement used in several branches of science and mathematics, defined as the reciprocal of length . Common units used for this measurement include the reciprocal metre or inverse metre (symbol: m−1 ), the reciprocal centimetre or inverse centimetre (symbol: cm−1 ).
The template is intended for conversion of heights specified in either metres or in feet and inches. Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status Metres m metre metres meter meters The height in metres. Do not use if feet and inches are specified. Number optional Centimetres cm centimetre centimetres centimeter centimeters The height in centimetres. Do not use if ...
The typical range lies between 1 ⁄ 2 to 2 ⁄ 3 inch (12.7 to 16.9 mm) for the UK/US size system and 4 ⁄ 3 to 5 ⁄ 3 cm (13.3 to 16.7 mm) for the European size system, but may extend to 1 ⁄ 4 to 3 ⁄ 4 inch (6.4 to 19.1 mm) and 2 ⁄ 3 to 6 ⁄ 3 cm (6.7 to 20.0 mm).
Definition. The dyne is defined as "the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimetre per second squared". [ 2] An equivalent definition of the dyne is "that force which, acting for one second, will produce a change of velocity of one centimetre per second in a mass of one gram". [ 3]
Geographic coordinate conversion has applications in cartography, surveying, navigation and geographic information systems . In geodesy, geographic coordinate conversion is defined as translation among different coordinate formats or map projections all referenced to the same geodetic datum. [ 1] A geographic coordinate transformation is a ...
Wavenumber, as used in spectroscopy and most chemistry fields, is defined as the number of wavelengths per unit distance, typically centimeters (cm −1 ): where λ is the wavelength. It is sometimes called the "spectroscopic wavenumber". [ 1] It equals the spatial frequency.
{{convert|1|ft|6|in|cm}} → 1 _ foot 6 _ inches (46 _ cm) {{convert|2|m|ftin}} → 2 metres (6 _ ft 7 _ in) Except, if option |adj=on is used and the unit is not abbreviated, the separator is a hyphen ("-"). {{convert|2|m|ftin|adj=on}} → 2-metre (6 _ ft 7 _ in) When the name of a number is used, is used as the separator between the ...
Gaussian units constitute a metric system of physical units. This system is the most common of the several electromagnetic unit systems based on cgs (centimetre–gram–second) units. It is also called the Gaussian unit system, Gaussian-cgs units, or often just cgs units. [ a] The term "cgs units" is ambiguous and therefore to be avoided if ...
