Definition that contains discrete
- object (computing) a discrete item that provides a description of virtually anything known to a computer
- einstein physicist born in Germany who formulated the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity; Einstein also proposed that light consists of discrete quantized bundles of energy (later called photons) (1879-1955)
- quantum a discrete amount of something that is analogous to the quantities in quantum theory
- quantum (physics) the smallest discrete quantity of some physical property that a system can possess (according to quantum theory)
- pixel (computer science) the smallest discrete component of an image or picture on a CRT screen (usually a colored dot)
- stepper a motor (especially an electric motor) that moves or rotates in small discrete steps
- pel (computer science) the smallest discrete component of an image or picture on a CRT screen (usually a colored dot)
- particulate a small discrete mass of solid or liquid matter that remains individually dispersed in gas or liquid emissions (usually considered to be an atmospheric pollutant)
- atomic theory (chemistry) any theory in which all matter is composed of tiny discrete finite indivisible indestructible particles
- quantise apply quantum theory to; restrict the number of possible values of (a quantity) or states of (a physical entity or system) so that certain variables can assume only certain discrete magnitudes that are integral multiples of a common factor
