Define Fermats principle
Fermat's principle: principle of least time (P. de Fermat): The principle, put onward by P. de Fermat that explains the path taken by a ray of light among any two points in a system is for all time the path which takes the least time.
Permittivity of free space: electric constant; epsilon_0: The ratio of the electric displacement to the intensity of the electric field generating it in vacuum. It is equivalent to 8.854 x 10-12 F/m.
Gauss' law for magnetic fields (K.F. Gauss): The magnetic flux via a closed surface is zero (0); no magnetic charges present; in its differential form, div B = 0
What do you mean by the term wave fronts? Explain in short.
Write down a brief note on the classification of Alloys?
Meissner effect (W. Meissner; 1933): The reduction of the magnetic flux in a superconducting metal whenever it is cooled beneath the transition temperature. That is the superconducting materials imitate magnetic fields.
Radian: rad: The supplementary SI unit of the angular measure stated as the central angle of a circle whose subtended arc is equivalent to the radius of the circle.
Pascal's principle: The pressure exerted to an enclosed incompressible static fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid.
Singularity: The center of a black hole, where the curvature of space-time is maximal. At singularity, the gravitational tides deviate; no solid object can yet theoretically survive beating the singularity. Though singularities usually predict inconsi
Gauss' law (K.F. Gauss): The electric flux via a closed surface is proportional to the arithmetical sum of electric charges contained in that closed surface; in its differential form, div E = rho,
Eotvos law of capillarity (Baron L. von Eotvos; c. 1870): The surface tension gamma of a liquid is associated to its temperature T, the liquid's critical temperature, T*, and its density rho by: gamma ~=
