I'd guess that impedance of free space is a far commoner term than vacuum impedance, and that the latter is in turn far commoner than references to the band Impedance of Free Space. Google seems to confirm this with factors of 41 and 16 respectively.

Search term Google hits
"impedance of free space" 37,800
"vacuum impedance" 912
"impedance of free space" (IDM OR electronica) 57

I must concede that I've probalby missed some references to the band - I don't know mmuch about them, other than they've got a good name. Anyway, I'd like to move/rename vacuum impedance -> impedance of free space, and then add a hatnote like the one on this page: Kepone, linking to Impedance of Free Space. --catslash 17:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with that Alessio Damato 16:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion above. -GTBacchus(talk) 05:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Vacuum impedance → Impedance of free space – This is a purely procedural nomination. See comments in section above. I have no opinion. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
