Define Ergosphere
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.
Boltzmann constant: k (L. Boltzmann) - The constant that explains the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature for molecules in an ideal gas. This is equivalent to the 1.380 622 x 10-23 J/K.
Explain how is energy transformed in the windmills?
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 decreased to zero at a uniform rate in a period of 1 s; i
Steradian: sr: The supplementary SI unit of solid angle stated as the solid central angle of a sphere which encloses a surface on the sphere equivalent to the square of the sphere's radius.
Fermi paradox (E. Fermi): E. Fermi's inference, simplified with the phrase, "Where are they?" questioning that when the Galaxy is filled with intelligent and scientific civilizations, why haven't they come to us hitherto? There are nu
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
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
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 clearly wrong since as the frequency rose, the radiance r
Describe the universal law of universal gravitation? Briefly describe it.
Kirchhoff's law of radiation (G.R. Kirchhoff): The emissivity of a body is equivalent to its absorbptance at similar temperature.
