Summary
| Description |
English: Illustration of the impact factor b for a blue particle moving in a straight line. The impact parameter is the distance of closest approach to a given center, here shown in yellow. The radius r obeys the equation b = r cos (θ1 - θ0), where θ0 is the angle of the impact parameter direction (shown in red) relative to the x-axis (shown in thin black). This image is intended for the article on Newton's theorem of revolving orbits, but may have other applications. |
