Dispersive

Now let a prism be placed in the path of such rays of different wave length from a single molecule, and what is called the dispersive action of the prism will separate the rays in the order of their wave lengths, the longer waves being less refracted than the shorter ones; but the energy of any one of these will depend upon the _amplitude of undulation_, which in turn will depend upon the amplitude of vibration of the part of the molecule that originated it, but in general the longer waves have greater amplitude, though not necessarily so. ❋ Various (N/A)

The common centre and starting-point of fetishism, polytheism, and monotheism on this view (the 'dispersive' view) of the evolution of religion lies in the heart of man, in a consciousness, originally vague in the extreme, of the personality and superiority to man of the being or object worshipped. ❋ Various (N/A)

Buddhism, however, on the 'dispersive' view of the evolution of religion, is not the only radiation from the common centre, of which we have to take account, in addition to fetishism, polytheism, and monotheism. ❋ Various (N/A)

If this instance be taken as typical of the process of evolution in general, then the course of evolution is not, so to speak, linear or rectilinear, but -- to use M. Bergson's word -- 'dispersive'. ❋ Various (N/A)

The true view will be that the course of evolution is not linear, is not a line produced for ever in the same direction, not a succession of stages, but is 'dispersive', that from a common starting point many lines of evolution radiate in different directions. ❋ Various (N/A)

It seems equally capable of being fitted in to the 'dispersive' theory, and of being regarded as an emanation or radiation proceeding direct from the human heart. ❋ Various (N/A)

Thus, on the 'dispersive' view of the evolution of religion, Buddhism is ❋ Various (N/A)

Unlike glass, diamond is highly "dispersive," so white light is spread out into a broader spectrum, hence the beautiful colors, or "fire." ❋ Unknown (2009)

His black hair denies the soft light a hold on its dispersive form. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Because the glass of the prism is dispersive, different frequencies of the incoming white light are bent at different angles on entering and leaving the prism, resulting in a separation of the colors of the light. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The group velocity then depends upon the dispersive term &n/&f, which can give a faster group velocity. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Which ever the case, the plasma wave has dispersive properties which permit a group velocity to be larger than the speed of light. ❋ Unknown (2010)

That is why I just write the n_g according to the dispersive term and avoid going into much detail. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In the case of rapid temperature increases associated with climate change, there are three possible outcomes for any species: local extinction due to thermal stress, a northward shift in geographic range where dispersive pathways and other biotic and abiotic conditions allow, and genetic change within the limits of heredity through rapid natural selection. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry, the scientists were able to determine that the Thermite present is of a specialized type called Nano-thermite or Superthermite. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The authors then subjected the iron-rich microspherical residue of the red-gray chips to X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) to compare it with the profile of microspherical residue from known thermite combustions and found them to be virtually identical. ❋ Unknown (2009)

X-ray dispersive spectroscopy can tell you what elements are in a sample, but not what molecules those elements are incorporated into. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The researchers used a number of techniques to analyze the chips including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). ❋ Unknown (2009)

The question is -- and I welcome (beg for!) responses -- are there any alternatives in our own urbanized, mobile, liability-prone, family-dispersive modern societies to the codified mechanized institutions I saw? ❋ Unknown (2009)

The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). ❋ Unknown (2009)
