But the number of bands is inversely proportional, as Jastrow and Moorehouse have shown (see above, p.
But the number of bands is inversely proportional (Jastrow and Moorehouse) to the time of rotation of the disc; that is, the faster the disc, the more bands.
For a given amount of power transmitted the cross-section of the cables required varies inversely as the square of the voltage.
The resistance of a conductor depends on its material, and varies directly as the length, and inversely as the cross-section of the conductor.
Provided the resistance of the galvanometer and other parts of the circuit is negligible in comparison with the resistance to be measured, the resistances are inversely as the deflections.
The potential of a conductor is, therefore, directly proportional to the charge upon the conductor, and inversely proportional to the capacity of the conductor.
This, then, is the state of the case: Matter attracts matter directly as the mass, and inversely as the squares of the distances.
If the density be inverselyas the distances, the periodic times will be equal.
Now, if we make the calculation, we shall find that the diameter of the nebulosity of a comet is inversely as the force of the radial stream.
If the density be inversely as the square roots of the distances, the times will be directly in the same ratio.
If one body be of double the inertia, it moves only half as far as the first; then, seeing that this atomic motion is radiated, the law of force must be directly as the mass, and inversely as the squares of the distances.
The kinetic energy is therefore inversely proportional to the square of the wave-length.
If the velocity is the same for all wave-lengths, then the frequency will evidently be inversely proportional to the wave-length and the energy will depend upon the amplitude and the wave-length.
With the same amplitude but with different wave-lengths, we see that the time in which the oscillation is completed is proportional to the wave-length and that the velocity is therefore inversely proportional to the wave-length.
The temperature of a wire increases approximately as the square of the current, and inversely as the cube of the diameter of the wire.
Gravitation varies inversely with the distance by which two bodies are separated.
You notice the water ascends in each to a different height, and that the ascension varies inversely as the diameter of the bore; i.
The coefficient is inversely as the intensity of the pressure, and the resistance is independent of the pressure.
Thus it is seen that the ascension variesinversely with the angle between the plates; i.
The first and second of these quantities vary inversely as the radius; and the third depends upon the character of the material composing the two surfaces in contact.
The shell is thick, solid, inversely conical, wreathing spirally from the base to the apex, the spiral being generally short, the last turn constituting alone the greater part of the surface of the shell.
Pressure in a gas may be created by increasing its temperature and inversely heat may be created by pressure.
As the strength of such action variesinversely as the square of the distance from the magnet, it is evident there can be no absolute boundary to it.
The law of gravitation as considered by him was--Every particle of matter attracts every other particle of matter with a stress which is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely to the squares of the distance between them.
When Sadler says that human prolificacy, circumstances remaining the same, is inversely as the density of population, he uses, to say the least, a very inaccurate mode of expression.
And vice versa, the rent remaining the same it rises and falls inverselyas the rate of interest.
