The Rayleigh criterion specifies that two point sources can be considered to be resolvable if the separation of the two images is at least the radius of the Airy disk, i. e. if the first minimum of one coincides with the maximum of the other.

Aeschylus gained thirteen victories as a dramatist, Sophocles at least twenty, Euripides only four in his lifetime, and this has often been taken as an indication of the latter's unpopularity with his contemporaries, and yet a first place might not have been the main criterion for success in those times ( the system of selecting judges appears to have been flawed ) and merely being chosen to compete was in itself a mark of distinction.

The answer is in substance that Kant went wrong in putting necessity first as the criterion of those laws.

When the original rating system evolved during the first part of the 1600's, first rates were ships with a complement of at least 300 men ( it was not until after 1660 that the number of carriage-mounted guns became the deciding criterion ).

1700's it became accepted that 100 guns was the standard criterion for a first rate in wartime ( while 90 guns, later 98 guns, became the standard wartime ordnance for a second rate ).

If the test data are collected first in order to predict criterion data collected at a later point in time, then this is referred to as predictive validity evidence.

Huber was the first ( 1904, Lwów ) who proposed the criterion of shear energy ( see S. P. Timoshenko, p.
