Usage Examples English
  • Some mirrored pieces can be destroyed by aiming the beam at one of their non-reflective sides, while others will simply absorb the beam harmlessly. Each player also has a beam splitter.
  • A neutral beam is obtained by neutralisation of a precursor ion beam, commonly accelerated in large electrostatic accelerators.
  • In laser science, the parameter M2, also known as the beam propagation ratio or beam quality factor is a measure of laser beam quality.
  • Consider a beam whose cross-sectional area increases in two dimensions, e.g. a solid round beam or a solid square beam.
  • Most laser beam outputs usually have Gaussian energy distribution.

  • Low beam (also called dipped beam, passing beam, or meeting beam) headlights provide adequate forward and lateral illumination without dazzling other road users with excessive glare.
  • When a gaussian beam propagates through a thin lens, the outgoing beam is also a (different) gaussian beam, provided that the beam travels along the cylindrical symmetry axis of the lens.
  • The beam was typical for early single-acting beam engines, pulling through wrought iron chains running over a curved arch-head at each end of the beam.
  • Low beam (dipped beam, passing beam, meeting beam) headlamps provide a distribution of light designed to provide forward and lateral illumination, with limits on light directed towards the eyes of other road users to control glare.
