Candela
Candela: The basic SI unit of luminous intensity stated as the luminous intensity in a given direction of a source which emits monochromatic photons of frequency 540 x 1012 Hz and encompasses a radiant intensity in the direction of 1/683 W/sr.
Brownian motion - The continuous random motion of a solid microscopic particle whenever suspended in a fluid medium due to the effect of ongoing bombardment by molecules and atoms.
Carnot's theorem (S. Carnot): The theorem that states that no engine operating between the two temperatures can be more proficient than a reversible engine.
What is Curie constant and Curies law? Curie constant: C (P. Curie): The characteristic constant, dependent on the material in question that points out the proportionality among its susceptibility
Avogadro's hypothesis (Count A. Avogadro; 1811): Equivalent volumes of all gases at similar temperature and pressure contain equivalent numbers of molecules. This is, in fact, true only for the ideal gases. <
Ergosphere: The area around a rotating black hole, among the event horizon and the static limit, where the rotational energy can be removed from the black hole.
Hooke's law (R. Hooke): The stress exerted to any solid is proportional to the strain it generates within the elastic limit for that solid. The constant of that proportionality is the Young modulus of elasticity for that material.
Dulong-Petit law (P. Dulong, A.T. Petit; 1819): The molar heat capacity is around equivalent to the three times the ideal gas constant: C = 3 R
Atwood's machine: The weight-and-pulley system devised to compute the acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface by computing the total acceleration of a set of weights of identified mass about a frictionless pulley.

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.
