Hi,
I have been trying to mathematically derive the formula to find FRACTIONAL ANISOTROPY
(Fractional anisotropy is a method that is used to emphasize and evaluate white matter fiber tracts)

The formula that is given in many textbooks and published paper is

I understand the purpose of Lambda but unable to understand the need for SQUAREROOT (3/2)

Please do kindly explain the reason behind having SQUAREROOT(3/2) for the Fractional Anisotropy formula
