light
what is the speed of light?
Ohm's law (G. Ohm; 1827): The ratio of the potential difference among the ends of a conductor to the current flowing via it is constant; the constant of proportionality is termed as the resistance, and is distinct for different materials.
Bohr magneton (N. Bohr) - This is the quantum of magnetic moment. Bohr radius (N. Bohr) - The distance equivalent to the mean distance of an electron from the nucleus in the ground state of hydroge
Young's experiment: double-slit experiment (T. Young; 1801): A well-known experiment that exhibits the wave nature of light (and certainly of other particles). The light is passed from a small source into an opaque screen with the two thin slits. The
Wiedemann-Franz law: It is the ratio of the thermal conductivity of any pure metal (substance) to its electrical conductivity is just about constant for any specified temperature. This law holds pretty well apart from at low temperatures.
Huygens' construction: Huygens ‘Principle (C. Huygens): The mechanical propagation of the wave (specially, of light) is equal to supposing that every point on the wave front acts as a point source of the wave emission.
Defining Aberration: The obvious change in the position of a light-emitting object due to the fidelity of the speed of light and the
In a series adding connection, two coupled coils have equivalent inductances LA; in a series opposing connection, LB. Determine an expression for M in terms of LA and LB. What does the outcome suggest?
Gauss' law for magnetic fields (K.F. Gauss): The magnetic flux via a closed surface is zero (0); no magnetic charges present; in its differential form, div B = 0
Stern-Gerlach experiment (O. Stern, W. Gerlach; 1922): The experiment which explains the features of spin (that is intrinsic angular momentum) as a different entity apart from the orbital angular momentum.
Tipler machine: The solution to Einstein's equations of general relativity which permits time travel. A tremendously dense (that is, on the order of the density of neutron star matter), infinitely-long cylinder that rotates very quickly can form close
