Talk:Vacuum impedance

Article name
Perhaps this article should be called Impedance of free space, with a redirect from vaccum impedance. The former term seems much commoner (by a factor of more than 40 according to Google)...

Note: I haven't subtracted off the terms with the italicized prefixes from the corresponding un-prefixed term.

The final entry in the above table relates to the pages impedance of free space and Impedance of Free Space. --catslash 17:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
