Activity Analysis: The identification and explanation of activities in an association. The activity analysis comprises determining what activities are completed within a department and how many people
Activity: The real work task or step executed in generating and delivering products and services. The aggregation of actions executed within an organization which is helpful for the purpose of activit
What do you mean by Earnings management and what are their actions and activities?
Define the term Price Earning ratio and how it is calculated?
Zeeman Effect: Zeeman line splitting (P. Zeeman; 1896): Zeeman Effect is the splitting of lines in a spectrum whenever the source is exposed to the magnetic field.
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
Woodward-Hoffmann rules: The rules leading the formation of products throughout certain kinds of organic reactions.
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.
Wien displacement law: For a blackbody, the product result of the wavelength corresponding to the maximum radiances and the thermodynamic temperature is constant, then the Wien displacement law consta
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 prett
Weiss constant: The characteristic constant dependent on the substance, employed in computing the susceptibility of the paramagnetic materials.
Weber: Wb (after W. Weber, 1804-1891): The derived SI unit of magnetic flux equivalent to the flux that, connecting a circuit of one turn, generates in it an electromotive force of 1 V as it is decrea
Weak equivalence principle: principle of uniqueness of freefall: The idea in general relativity is that the world-line of a freefalling body is sovereign of its composition, structure, or state. This
Wave-particle duality: The principle of quantum mechanics that entails that light (and, certainly, all other subatomic particles) at times act similar to a wave, and sometime act similar to a particle
Watt: W (after J. Watt, 1736-1819): The derived SI unit of power, stated as a power of 1 J acting over the period of 1 s; it therefore has the units of J/s.
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 whene
Van der Waals force (J.D. van der Waals): The forces responsible for non-ideal behavior of gases, and for lattice energy of molecular crystals. There are three main causes: dipole-dipole interaction;
Universal constant of gravitation: G The constant of proportionality in the Newton’s law of universal gravitation and that plays a comparable role in Sir Einstein's general relativity. This is e
Universal age paradox: The two most straightforward techniques of computing the age of the Universe -- via red-shift measurements, and via stellar evolution -- outcome incompatible outcomes. Recent (i
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
Uncertainty principle (W. Heisenberg; 1927): A principle, central to the quantum mechanics that states which two complementary parameters (like energy and time, position and momentum, or angular momen
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 clearl
Twin paradox: One of the most well-known "paradoxes" in history, predicted by Sir Einstein's special theory of relativity. It takes two twins, born on similar date on Earth. One, Albert, leaves home f
Trojan satellites: Satellites that orbit a body at one or the other Trojan points associative to a secondary body. There are numerous illustrations of this in our own solar system: a collection of ast
Trojan points: L4 and L5 are the two dynamically stable Lagrange points (that is, beneath certain conditions).
