How to use DEFLECTION in a sentence

• We found that it acts through air or in a vacuum in a single straight line, without deflection, and seemingly without diminution.
• Oh, such a slight deflection, a matter of inches, just barely sufficient to send his point past me so that it pierced a fold of my satin doublet in passing.
• Sellers, were placed at a point near the circle of the hands in order to observe whether any deflection from the magnetic course occurred.
• Here, while the angular velocity is the same, the actual velocity is doubled by increase in the diameter of the circle, and so the deflection is doubled.
• DEFLECTION OF LIGHT The bending of a ray of light thus described is much too light on the surface of the earth to be observed.
• It may, however, be stated that the most important among these was that the deflection was too small to be measured with the required degree of accuracy.
• The first experiment tried with the revolving mirror produced a deflection considerably greater than that obtained by Foucault.
• In other words, instead of measuring the deflection, the speed of rotation was measured.
• The deflection is also affected by the inclination of the plane of rotation to the horizon.
• The chief objection, namely, that in the method of the revolving mirror the deflection is small, has already been sufficiently answered.
• These show that in each individual observation the average error was only three ten-thousandths of the whole deflection.
• Even if there be a distortion of any kind, there would be no effect on the deflection if the rays returned to the same portion whence they were reflected.
• It is said that the deflection has not altered appreciably for nearly two hundred years.
• If slightly inclined at the start, deflection will be caused as stated.
• This angle is increased by deflection more or less great, according to the current traversing the coil.
• This deflection should be most marked under conditions of complete darkness, least in the midst of full illumination.
• Immediately there is a deflection of the needle, which indicates that a current is flowing through the circuit.
• She did start to put this impulse into effect, but an unusually violent deflection caused her to reconsider that intention.
• It is usually accurate enough in deflection calculations to take for I the moment of inertia at the centre of the beam and to consider it constant for the length of the beam.
• In all columns free to bend in any direction the deflection will be seen in the direction in which the column is least stiff.
• A continual increase in deflection indicates an unsafe load which is almost certain to rupture the beam eventually.
• Within the elastic limit the formulae for calculating the stresses are based on the assumption that the deflection is proportional to the stress in this case as in static tests.
• The elastic limit is that point on the diagram where the square of the deflection begins to increase more rapidly than the height of drop.
• The load was measured at each one-fourth inch in deflection, and notes were made of the primary and subsequent failures.
• In one-third of the tests the load-deflection curve will be continued to 6-inch deflection, or till the specimen fails to support a 200-pound load.
• Thus the electricity developed by thirty turns of his machine produced, under very variable conditions of battery surface, the same deflection.
• Those which were not intended to mark angles of deflection were placed square with the line.
• When either is exactly overhead or underfoot, of course there is no deflection.
