Einsteinn.

Brit.

/ˈʌɪnstʌɪn/,

/ˈʌɪnʃtʌɪn/, U.S.

/ˈaɪnˌstaɪn/

Etymology: < the name of Albert Einstein (1879–1955), German physicist and mathematician.

Used attributively or in the possessive to designate certain theories and principles enunciated by Einstein or arising out of his work.

2. Physics. (Usually written einstein.) [ < German Einstein (Bodenstein & Wagner 1929, in Zeitschr. f. physik. Chem. B. III. 456).] A unit of light energy, equal to that contained in one mole of photons of a specified frequency.

1929 Chem. Abstr. 23 4408 By analogy with electrochemistry, a unit of 6.06 × 10²³ quanta is to be called one ‘light equiv.’ or ‘einstein’ and is to be denoted by the letter E.

1935 Jrnl. Amer. Chem. Soc. 57 445/1 The amounts of light used in these experiments were from 2 to 4 × 10⁻⁵ einsteins of λ 2537.

1956 Industr. & Engin. Chem. (Industr. ed.) Sept. 1491/1 The intensity of sunlight is taken as 2 cal./sq. cm. per minute or 4.7 × 10⁻⁷ einsteins/sq. cm. per second.

1965 Seliger & McElroy Light v. 230 Thus a mole equivalent of blue light (an Einstein or 6.025 × 10²³ quanta) at a wavelength of 450 mμ is equal to 64 kcal.
