Define anti-aliasing
What do you understand by the term anti-aliasing? Describe briefly?
Expert
Anti-aliasing is a technique for enhancing the realism of an image by eliminating the jagged edges from it. Such jagged edges or jaggies appear as a computer monitor has square pixels, and such square pixels are inadequate for exhibiting lines or curves which are not parallel to the pixels and other reason is low sampling rate of the image information, which in turn leads to such jaggies.
Define Hertz or SI unit of frequency: Hertz: Hz (after H. Hertz, 1857-1894): The derived SI unit of frequency, stated as a frequency of 1 cycle per s; it therefore has units of s-1.
Describe briefly the term Specular Reflection?
Stefan-Boltzmann constant: sigma (Stefan, L. Boltzmann): The constant of proportionality exist in the Stefan-Boltzmann law. It is equivalent to 5.6697 x 10-8 W/m2/K4.
Brackett series (Brackett) - The series (or sequence) that explains the emission spectrum of hydrogen whenever the electron is jumping to fourth orbital. All of the lines are in the infrared segment of the spectrum.
Occam's [or Ockham's] razor (William of Occam [or Ockham]; c. 1340): It is the suggestion that the simpler a theory is the better. When two theories forecast the phenomena to the similar accuracy, then the one that is simpler is the better one. Furthe
Eddington limit (Sir A. Eddington): The hypothetical limit at which the photon pressure would surpass the gravitational attraction of a light-emitting body. That is, a body emanating radiation at bigger than the Eddington limit would
Constancy principle (A. Einstein): One of the postulates of Sir Einstein's special theory of relativity that puts forth that the speed of light in vacuum is computed as similar speed to all observers, in spite of of their relative mot
Heat pumps move heat from one place to another. They work similar to refrigeration. The movement of heat takes energy, either electrical energy as in the use of vapor compression heat pumps or thermal energy as in the use of absorption heat pump
What is Curie constant and Curies law? Curie constant: C (P. Curie): The characteristic constant, dependent on the material in question that points out the proportionality among its susceptibility
Beauty criterion (Dirac) - The idea that more aesthetically pleasing a theory is the superior it is. In nature this criterion does not stand up to the actual test -- whether or not forecasts of a given theory agree with observational tests -- however
