Define Tardon
Tardon: A particle that has a positive real mass and travels at a speed very less than c in all inertial frames.
Biot-Savart law (J.B. Biot, F. Savart) - The law which explains the contributions to the magnetic field by an electric current. This is analogous to the Coulomb's law. Mathematically: dB = (mu0 I)/(4 pi r2) dl cross e
Give one benefit of a scanning electron microscope over the transmission electron microscope? Briefly explain it.
Carnot's theorem (S. Carnot): The theorem that states that no engine operating between the two temperatures can be more proficient than a reversible engine.
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
Boltzmann constant: k (L. Boltzmann) - The constant that explains the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature for molecules in an ideal gas. This is equivalent to the 1.380 622 x 10-23 J/K.
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.
Charles' law (J.A.C. Charles; c. 1787): The volume of an ideal gas at constant (steady) pressure is proportional to the thermodynamic temperature of that gas.
Lumen: lm: The derived SI unit of luminous flux, stated as the luminous flux produced by a uniform point source of 1 cd releasing its luminous energy over a solid angle of 1 sr; it therefore has units of cd sr.
Davisson-Germer experiment (C.J. Davisson, L.H. Germer; 1927): The experiment which conclusively proved the wave nature of electrons; diffraction patterns were examined by an electron beam penetrating into the nickel target.
Steradian: sr: The supplementary SI unit of solid angle stated as the solid central angle of a sphere which encloses a surface on the sphere equivalent to the square of the sphere's radius.
