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.
Explain how is energy transformed in the windmills?
What do you mean by the rest mass energy of the electron?
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 principle, hold by Newtonian mechanics and gravitat
Laue pattern (M. von Laue): The pattern generated on a photographic film whenever high-frequency electromagnetic waves (like x-rays) are fired at the crystalline solid.
Beauty criterion (Dirac) - The idea that more aesthetically pleasing a theory is the superior it is. In nature this criterion does not stand up to the actual test -- whether or not forecasts of a given theory agree with observational tests -- however
Magnetic monopole: The hypothetical particle that comprises sources and sinks of the magnetic field. The magnetic monopoles have never been found, however would only cause pretty minor modifications to the Maxwell's equations. They also appear to be p
Dirac constant: Planck constant, modified form; hbar Sometimes more suitable form of the Planck constant, stated as: hbar = h/(2 pi)
Briefly illustrate how do fireworks turn to shapes similar to hearts and stars?
Tachyon: The purely speculative particle that is supposed to travel faster than light. According to Sir Einstein's equations of special relativity, a particle with imaginary rest mass and a velocity more than c would contain a real momentum and energy
Thomson experiment: Kelvin effect (Sir W. Thomson [later Lord Kelvin]): Whenever an electric current flows via a conductor whose ends are maintained at various temperatures, heat is discharged at a rate just about proportional to the
