abscissa's Usage Examples:

The enclosed area for each temperature represents the total emission of energy for that temperature, the abscissae are the wavelengths, and the ordinates the corresponding intensities of emission for that wave-length.

We take a fixed line OX, usually drawn horizontally; for each value of X we measure a length or abscissa ON equal to x.

The ordinate of the trapezette will be denoted by u, and the abscissa of this ordinate, i.

The ordinate of the dotted curve which contains its "centre of gravity" has, of course, for its abscissa the "mean" number of glands; the maximum ordinate of the curve is, however, at 2.

If, as is usually the case, the ordinate throughout each strip of the trapezette can be expressed approximately as an algebraical function of the abscissa, the application of the integral calculus gives the area of the figure.

9 illustrates the first case: the ordinates represent specific volumes, and the abscissae denote the composition of isomorphous mixtures of ammonium and potassium dihydrogen phosphates, which mutually take one another up to the extent of 20% to form homogeneous crystals.

Thus PS (or OR) is the abscissa of P.

Steinmetz's formula may be tested by taking a series of hysteresis curves between different limits of B,' measuring their areas by a pianimeter, and plotting the logarithms of these divided by 47r as ordinates against logarithms of the corresponding maximum values of B as abscissae.

The relation between x and t in any particular case may be illustrated by means of a curve constructed with I as abscissa and x as ordinate.

The statement that the ordinate u of a trapezette is a function of the abscissa x, or that uf(x), must be distinguished from u f(x) as the equation to the top of the trapezette.

During the first stage, when the magnetizing force is small, the magnetization (or the induction) increases rather slowly with increasing force; this is well shown by the nickel curve in the diagram, but the effect would be no less conspicuous in the iron curve if the abscissae were plotted to a larger scale.

von Rohr's Theorie and Geschichte des photographischen Objectivs, the abscissae are focal lengths, and the ordinates wave-lengths; of the latter the Fraunhofer lines used are A' C D Green Hg.

The measured lengths are marked off on ordinates erected on an abscissa, along which the times are noted.
