Brownian motion
Brownian motion - The continuous random motion of a solid microscopic particle whenever suspended in a fluid medium due to the effect of ongoing bombardment by molecules and atoms.
Lenz's law (H.F. Lenz; 1835): The induced electric current always flows in such a direction that it resists the change generating it.
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
Meissner effect (W. Meissner; 1933): The reduction of the magnetic flux in a superconducting metal whenever it is cooled beneath the transition temperature. That is the superconducting materials imitate magnetic fields.
Gauss' law (K.F. Gauss): The electric flux via a closed surface is proportional to the arithmetical sum of electric charges contained in that closed surface; in its differential form, div E = rho,
Henry: H (after W. Henry, 1775-1836): The derived SI unit of inductance, stated as the inductance of a closed circuit in which the electromotive force of 1 V is generated whenever the electric current differs uniformly at a rate of 1
Spin-orbit effect: The effect that causes atomic energy levels to be split since electrons contain intrinsic angular momentum (that is spin) in summation to their extrinsic orbital angular momentum.
Explain Maxwells equations and its four elegant equation? Maxwell's equations (J.C. Maxwell; 1864): The four elegant equations that explain classical electroma
Newton: N (after Sir I. Newton, 1642-1727): The derived SI unit of force, stated as the force needed to give a mass of 1 kg of an acceleration of 1 m/s2; it therefore has units of kg m/s2.
What do you mean by the rest mass energy of the electron?
Beauty criterion (Dirac) - The idea that more aesthetically pleasing a theory is the superior it is. In nature this criterion does not stand up to the actual test -- whether or not forecasts of a given theory agree with observational tests -- however
