light penetration depth
11Mathematical descriptions of opacity — When an electromagnetic wave travels through a medium in which it gets absorbed (this is called an opaque or attenuating medium), it undergoes exponential decay as described by the Beer–Lambert law. However, there are many possible ways to… …
12Optical window in biological tissue — The Optical window [1] (also known as therapeutic window) defines the range of wavelengths where light has its maximum depth of penetration in tissue. Within the NIR window, scattering is the most dominant light tissue interaction, and therefore… …
13Hydrostatic shock — The term hydrostatic shock describes the theory that a penetrating projectile produces remote wounding and incapacitating effects in living targets, in addition to local effects in tissue caused by direct impact, through a hydraulic effect in… …
14Nuclear bunker buster — Subsidence craters left over after underground nuclear (test) explosions Bunker busting nuclear weapons, also known as earth penetrating weapons (EPW), are a type of nuclear weapon designed to penetrate into soil, rock, or concrete to deliver a… …

17Ocean turbidity — Visualisation of the Ocean Turbidity of the ocean just before Hurricane Bob (August 14, 1991) Ocean turbidity is a measure of the amount of cloudiness or haziness in sea water caused by individual particles that are too small to be seen without… …
18Meissner effect — Diagram of the Meissner effect. Magnetic field lines, represented as arrows, are excluded from a superconductor when it is below its critical temperature. The Meissner effect is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its… …
19Underwater — is a term describing the realm below the surface of water where the water exists in a natural feature (called a body of water) such as an ocean, sea, lake, pond, or river. Three quarters of the planet Earth is covered by water. A majority of the… …
20Molecular imaging — originated from the field of radiopharmacology due to the need to better understand the fundamental molecular pathways inside organisms in a noninvasive manner. Contents 1 …
