peak wavelength
  موج-طول ِ ستیغ   
mowj-tul-e setiq

Fr.: longueur d'onde pic   

The wavelength at which the radiant intensity of a source is maximum.

peak; → wavelength.

Planck length
  درازای ِ پلانک   
derâzâ-ye Planck (#)

Fr.: longueur de Planck   

The size limit, lP = √ (ħ G/ c3), about 10-33 cm, at which Einstein's notions of space-time are supposed to break down, and space is predicted to become "foam like."

Planck; → length.

radiation length
  درازای ِ تابش   
derâzâ-ye tâbeš

Fr.: longueur de rayonnement   

The mean distance traveled by a photon or particle in a given medium before its energy is reduced by a factor e due to its interaction with matter.

radiation; → length.

radio wavelength
  موج-طول ِ رادیویی   
mowjtul-e râdioyi

Fr.: longueur d'onde radio   

The → electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength ranging from 1 mm to several 100 km. See so → radio wave.

radio; → wavelength.

Sobolev length
  درازای ِ سوبولف   
derâzâ-ye Sobolev

Fr.: longueur de Sobolev   

In the → Sobolev approximation, the length over which the conditions of the gas do not change and the approximation is valid. It is expressed by: ls = vth/(dv/dr), where vth is the thermal line width and (dv/dr) the velocity gradient. In other words, the length over which the profile function of a line is shifted through a distance equal to its own width by the macroscopic velocity gradients that exist in the moving medium.

Sobolev approximation; → length.

Toomre length
  درازای ِ تومره   
derâzâ-ye Toomre

Fr.: longueur de Toomre   

The scale beyond which for a thin, rotating disk, rotation stabilizes self-gravitational contraction. The Toomre length is given by: λT = 4π2GΣ / κ2, where G is the → gravitational constant, Σ is the mass → surface density, and κ is the → epicyclic frequency (Toomre 1964, ApJ 139, 1217).

Toomre parameter; → length.

wavelength
  طول ِ موج، موج-طول   
tul-e mowj (#), mowj-tul (#)

Fr.: longueur d'onde   

The distance between two successive points in the wave that are characterized by the same phase of oscillation; e.g. → de Broglie wavelength; → Compton wavelength; → blaze wavelength; → peak wavelength; → center wavelength; → central wavelength; → cutoff wavelength.

wave; → length.
