Rayleigh: theory for lift of inclined-plane wing; streamlines travel direct to surface, where they are brought to rest, losing all relative energy
Category: Physics

Rayleigh: a disk on a torsion suspension designed to measure the sound particle velocity in a fluid
Category: Physics

Rayleigh: a surface wave associated with the free boundary of a solid or liquid such that a surface particle describes an ellipse whose major axis is normal to the surface,and whose centre is a point on the surface prior to its disturbance
Category: Physics

Rayleigh: tests of uniformity on the circle and on the sphere,due to Rayleigh(1919)
Category: Statistics

Rayleigh: a phase-interference fading caused by multipath,and which may be approximated by the Rayleigh distribution
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

Rayleigh: non-dimensional ratio(Ra)of the product of the buoyancy forces and heat advection to the product of viscous forces and heat conduction in a fluid
Category: Physics

Rayleigh: in a graphic representation of the flux density field strength relation in a material,a region near the origin within which the magnetic flux density can be described by a quadratic function of the field strength(mathematical formula,see IEV),where(mathematical formula,see IEV)is the Rayleigh hysteresis coefficient
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

Rayleigh: equation that indicates loss of Pitot pressure caused by presence of normal shock
Category: Physics

Rayleigh: the diffusion of radiation in the course of its passage through a medium containing particles the size of which is small compared with the wavelength of the radiation
Category: Physics

Rayleigh: approximate form of Planck`s law,obtained by neglecting in the formula for this law the terms of higher order in the series expansion of the exponential.This approximation is valid when(mathematical formula,see IEV)is sufficiently large
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

Rayleigh: a scattering of the incident radiation through a fibre inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength caused by various heterogeneities in the fibre
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

Rayleigh: a mathematical statement of the frequency distribution of random variables,for the case where the variables have the same variance and are not correlated
Category: News-systems and communications

Rayleigh: a distillation where in the composition of the residue changes continuously during the course of the distillation(Elsevier`s dictionary of nuclear science and technology)
Category: Chemistry

Rayleigh: phase interference fading due to multipath which is approximated by the Rayleigh distribution
Category: News-systems and communications

Rayleigh: law of scattering valid for small particles of size up to about 0.1 the wavelength of light,that predicts that the scattered light is proportional to the sixth power of the particle diameter and inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength of the light used
Category: Physics
