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.
State the law of Lamberts Cosine? Describe briefly?
Pauli Exclusion Principle (W. Pauli; 1925): No two similar fermions in a system, like electrons in an atom, can contain an identical set of the quantum numbers.
Ground source Heat Pumps (GSHP): This technology makes use of the energy stored in the earth’s crust, which comes mainly from solar radiation. Fundamentally, heat pumps take up heat at a certain temperature and discharge it at a higher temperatu
Dalton's law of partial pressures (J. Dalton): The net pressure of a mixture of ideal gases is equivalent to the sum of the partial pressures of its components; which is the sum of the pressures which each component would exert when it were present al
Wien's displacement law constant, b: It is the constant of Wien displacement law. This has the value of 2.897 756 x 10-3 m K.
Mach's principle (E. Mach; c. 1870): The inertia of any specific particle or particles of matter is attributable to the interaction among that piece of matter and the rest of the world. Therefore, a body in isolation would contain no inertia.
Siemens: S (after E.W. von Siemens, 1816-1892): The derived SI unit of an electrical conductance equivalent to the conductance of an element which has a resistance of 1 O [ohm]; this has units of O-1.
Gray: Gy (after L.H. Gray, 1905-1965): The derived SI unit of engrossed dose, stated as the absorbed dose in which the energy per unit mass communicated to the matter by the ionizing radiation is 1 J/kg; it therefore has units of J/kg
Noether theorem (Noether): A theorem that explains that symmetries are what gives rise to conserved quantities. For example, the translational symmetry (that is the fact that the laws of physics work the same in all positions) gives r
Volt: V (after A. Volta, 1745-1827): The derived SI unit of electric potential, stated as the difference of potential among the two points on a conductor fetching a constant current of 1 A whenever the power dissipated between the points is 1 W;
