The Becke Line test is a technique used to measure the relative refractive index of two materials. The Becke line is a bright line observed close to the boundary between two grains in plane polarised light. If the microscope focus is raised, increasing the distance between the objective lens and the sample, the Becke line will move into the material with the higher refractive index. 3, record 3, English, - Becke%20line

For the Earth, the plasmapause is described as the equipotential boundary between a region dominated by the corotational electric field, where there are closed particle orbits, and a region dominated by a convective dawn-dusk electric field, where there are no closed orbits. However, the existence of such a static boundary for the dynamic magnetospheres of Uranus and Neptune has been called into question, by two dimensional guiding center calculations for particles in the magnetic equatorial plane. 3, record 4, English, - plasmapause

In an electrode reaction, when reactants or intermediates are adsorbed, the rate of reaction may no longer be related to the concentration by a simple law. The deviation may be due to either entropic or energetic effects or both. The situation best understood is that where a reactant is non-specifically adsorbed in the outer Helmholtz plane(inner boundary of the diffuse layer). The effect of such adsorption on electrode kinetics is usually termed the Frumkin Effect. Rate constants, transfer coefficients etc. corrected for this effect are frequently called "true" rate constants etc. It would be preferable to describe them as "corrected for the Frumkin Effect", but in any case, if such a correction is carried out, the basis on which it is made should be clearly described. 1, record 7, English, - true%20rate%20constant
