Becquerel
Becquerel: Bq (after A.H. Becquerel, 1852-1908) - The derived SI unit of the activity stated as the activity of radionuclide decay at a rate, on the average, of one nuclear transition every 1 s; it hence has units of s-1.
Cadmium rods are given in a nuclear reactor. Explain why?
Speed of light (in vacuo): c: The speed at which the electromagnetic radiation spreads in a vacuum; it is stated as 299 792 458 m/s.
Maxwell's demon (J.C. Maxwell): A contemplation experiment describing the concepts of entropy. We contain a container of gas that is partitioned into two equivalent sides; each side is in thermal equilibrium with the other. The walls and the separatio

Einstein field equation: The cornerstone of Einstein's general theory of relativity, associating the gravitational tensor G to the stress-energy tensor T by the simple equation: G = 8 pi T<
Calculate the hot and cold temperature after 25 orbits. Assume a 100kg spherical spacecraft made of aluminum. Assume that the spacecraft is in an equatorial orbit. How is calculation 1 different for a spacecraft in a 90 degree (polar) orbit?
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.
Sievert: Sv: The derived SI unit of dose equivalent, stated as the absorbed dose of the ionizing radiation multiplied by internationally-agreed-upon dimensionless weights, as various kinds of ionizing radiation cause various kinds of damage in the liv
