AI Thread Summary
The external magnetic plane of an NMR is denoted as B_0_. There is a debate on its pronunciation, with some preferring "B zero" while others consider "B initial" to be correct. The consensus leans towards "B zero" as the more commonly accepted term. Clarification on this pronunciation can help avoid confusion in discussions about NMR terminology. Understanding the correct pronunciation enhances communication in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance.

I know the external magnetic plane of a machine such as an NMR is denoted as B_0_ but is that pronounced by B sub zero or B initial?

Hi Ajeezy! :wink:

I always pronounce it "B zero". :smile:
 
Thanks tiny tim. I felt that b initial was right but I've been reading into and b zero or b sub zero seems correct. Thanks again
 
I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
