Fresnel (unit)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A fresnel is a unit of frequency equal to one trillion cycles per second (i.e., 1012 s−1). It was occasionally used in the field of spectroscopy, but its use has been superseded by terahertz (with the identical value 1012 hertz).[1] It is named for Augustin-Jean Fresnel the physicist whose expertise in optics led to the creation of Fresnel lenses.[2]
