Question
Assuming equal ion temperature, the square of a form of this quantity is proportional to T over n-q-squared. TIRF·M exploits the low value of this quantity achieved by the evanescent wave. Fritz and Heinz London name a form of this quantity that describes magnetic fields in superconductors. A small value for this quantity, denoted delta, describes an exponential decay in alternating current density due to eddies in the (*) skin effect. The decrease in electric field strength with this quantity due to screening is described by two forms of this quantity named for Thomas and Fermi and for Debye. This quantity is squared in the denominator of Coulomb's law. For 10 points, name this quantity measured in microns or meters. ■END■
ANSWER: length [accept distance or depth or penetration depth or radius; accept Debye length or Debye radius or Debye–Hückel screening length or London penetration depth or skin depth or Thomas–Fermi length; prompt on r or lambda-sub-D] (The lead-in describes the Debye length.)
