Refractive index measurement is actually a measurement of the speed of light in a medium. The speed of light (usually denoted by c) is 299 792 458 m/s in vacuum. In other media the speed of light is lower than this value‚ and the refractive index‚ R.I.‚ of a medium is a measure of how much the speed of light is reduced in the medium. The refractive index (n) of a medium is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum (c) in to that in the medium (v) The speed of light in a medium depends on

Linear Measurements Purpose How thick is one of the hairs on your head? Could it be measured accurately with a standard inch scale? If the smallest increment on an inch scale is 1/16 inch‚ then 20 average size human hairs could fit within the space of a 1/16 inch gap. The required degree of accuracy needed is dependent on the application. If you were to build a home‚ a standard inch scale is perfect for laying out walls and locating window openings.A dial caliper is a precision measurement tool

VIBRATION MEASUREMENT In some practical situations‚ it might be difficult to develop a mathematical model of the system and predict its vibration characteristics through an analytical study. In such cases‚ we can use experimental methods to measure the vibration response of the system to a known input. This helps in identifying the system in terms of its mass‚ stiffness‚ and damping. In practice the measurement of vibration becomes necessary for the following reasons: 1. The increasing demands

generally grouped. In increasing order of sophistication‚ they are (1) nominal numbers‚ (2) ordinal numbers‚ (3) intervally scaled numbers‚ and (4) ratio-scaled numbers. This paper will examine each briefly and how they can be used effectively in the design of a survey questionnaire. Qualitative Data Data that can be categorized into one of several non-numerical categories is qualitative. You are recording some quality that the data possesses. Care needs to be taken to avoid assigning numbers

MEASUREMENT It tells us whether there has been a change in performance. Change is a constant. Before we measure we need standards‚ targets‚ requirements etc. we can use to judge the results of measurement‚ in fact there is little point measuring anything unless we have a clear idea of what we are looking for.

p. 93). Similar to any other industries‚ hospitality marketers are pressurized to measure the marketing performances and justify the effectiveness of marketing activities as well (Christodoulides & de Chernatony‚ 2010‚ p. 43). Brand equity measurement has become “part of a set of marketing performance indicators”. The analysis of brand equity and the way it is measured has a wide range of believers and practitioners that contribute the idea of “black box orientation” (Christodoulides & de
