what is the speed of light?
Ergosphere: The area around a rotating black hole, among the event horizon and the static limit, where the rotational energy can be removed from the black hole.
Uniformity principle (E.P. Hubble): The principle which the laws of physics here and now are not dissimilar, at least qualitatively, from the laws of physics in preceding or future epochs of time, or somewhere else in the Universe. This principle was
Chandrasekhar limit (S. Chandrasekhar; 1930): A limit that mandates that no white dwarf (a collapsed, degenerate star) can be much massive than around 1.4 masses solar. Any of the degenerate mass more massive should inevitably collaps
Ultraviolet catastrophe: It is the shortcoming of Rayleigh-Jeans formula that attempted to explain the radiance of a blackbody at different frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. This was clearly wrong since as the frequency rose, the radiance r
NUCLEAR PHYSICS (PHY555) HOMEWORK #1 1. Calculate the luminosity for a beam of protons of 1 µA colliding with a stationary liquid hydrogen target 30 cm long. Compare this to a typical colliding beam luminosity of ∼1034 cm-2
Faraday's law (M. Faraday): The line integral of the electric field about a closed curve is proportional to the instant time rate of change of the magnetic flux via a surface bounded by that closed curve; in the differential form,
Lyman series: The sequence that explains the emission spectrum of hydrogen whenever electrons are jumping to the ground state. Each and every line is in the ultraviolet.
Hubble constant: H0 (E.P. Hubble; 1925): The constant that determines the relationship among the distance to a galaxy and its velocity of recession due to the growth of the Universe. As the Universe is self-gravitating, it is not trut
As shown in the figure below, a source at S is sending out a spherical wave: E1=(A×D/r) cos(wt-2πr/λ); where r is the distance to source
How do I find out a maximum current flowing through a resistor with just the resistance of the resistor and it's power rating?
