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 ).
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 ...
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).
Seismic moment is measured in Newton-meters (Nm or N·m) in the SI system of measurement, or dyne-centimeters (dyn-cm; 1 dyn-cm = 10 −7 Nm) in the older CGS system. In the simplest case the moment can be calculated knowing only the amount of slip, the area of the surface ruptured or slipped, and a factor for the resistance or friction ...
The 6.5mm Creedmoor (6.5×48mm), [6] designated 6.5 Creedmoor by SAAMI, 6,5 Creedmoor by the C.I.P. [4] is a centerfire rifle cartridge introduced by Hornady in 2007. [7]It was developed by Hornady senior ballistics scientist Dave Emary in partnership with Dennis DeMille, the vice-president of product development at Creedmoor Sports, hence the name.

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.
