what is the speed of light?
Explain Correspondence limit or Correspondence principle? Correspondence limit (N. Bohr): The limit at which a more common theory decreases to a more specialized theory when the situations that the
Hoop conjecture (K.S. Thorne, 1972): The conjecture (as so far unproven, although there is substantial proof to support it) that a non-spherical object, non-spherically compressed, will only form a black hole whenever all parts of the
Describe briefly the term Specular Reflection?
Roche limit: The position about a massive body where the tidal forces due to the gravity of the primary equivalent or exceed the surface gravity of a specified satellite. Within the Roche limit, such a satellite will be interrupted by tides.
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.
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
Ehrenfest paradox (Ehernfest, 1909): The special relativistic "paradox" including a fast rotating disc. As any radial segment of the disc is perpendicular to the direction of motion, there must be no length contraction of the radius;
Superconductivity: The phenomenon by which, at adequately low temperatures, a conductor can conduct the charge with zero (0) resistance. The current theory for describing superconductivity is the BCS theory.
Brackett series (Brackett) - The series (or sequence) that explains the emission spectrum of hydrogen whenever the electron is jumping to fourth orbital. All of the lines are in the infrared segment of the spectrum.
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.
