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.
De Broglie wavelength (L. de Broglie; 1924): The prediction that particles too contain wave characteristics, where the efficient wavelength of the particle would be inversely proportional to its momentum, where the constant of the pro
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.
Pfund series: The series that explains the emission spectrum of hydrogen whenever the electron is jumping to the fifth orbital. Each line is in the infrared part of the spectrum.
Briefly state the definition of Pascal’s principle?
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

Gaia hypothesis (J. Lovelock, 1969): The thought that the Earth as an entire must be regarded as a living organism and that biological procedures stabilize the atmosphere.
Joule-Thomson effect: Joule-Kelvin effect (J.P. Joule, W. Thomson [later Lord Kelvin]): The change in temperature which takes place whenever a gas expands into an area of lower pressure.
