Caustic (optics) — For other uses, see Caustic (disambiguation). Caustics produced by a glass of water In optics, a caustic or caustic network [1] is the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection … Wikipedia
Photon mapping — In computer graphics, photon mapping is a two pass global illumination algorithm developed by Henrik Wann Jensen that solves the rendering equation. Rays from the light source and rays from the camera are traced independently until some… … Wikipedia
Spent caustic — is a waste industrial caustic solution that has become exhausted and is no longer useful (or spent). Spent caustics are made of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, water, and contaminants. The contaminants have consumed the majority of the… … Wikipedia
Monochromatic electromagnetic plane wave — In general relativity, the monochromatic electromagnetic plane wave spacetime is the analog of the monochromatic plane waves known from Maxwell s theory. The precise definition of the solution is a bit complicated, but very instructive. Any exact … Wikipedia
Cusp (singularity) — An ordinary cusp on the curve x3–y2=0 In the mathematical theory of singularities a cusp is a type of singular point of a curve. Cusps are local singularities in that they are not formed by self intersection points of the curve. The plane curve… … Wikipedia

Symplectic manifold — In mathematics, a symplectic manifold is a smooth manifold, M, equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential 2 form, ω, called the symplectic form. The study of symplectic manifolds is called symplectic geometry or symplectic topology.… … Wikipedia
Corrosive substance — European Union standard symbol for corrosives. GHS and other symbols are similar. A corrosive substance is one that will destroy or irreversibly damage another surface or substance with which it comes into contact. The main hazards to people… … Wikipedia
