Define Lux or SI unit of the illuminance
Lux: lx: The derived SI unit of the illuminance equivalent to the illuminance generated by a luminous flux of 1 lm distributed consistently over a region of 1 m2; it therefore has units of lm/m2.
Solar water heating: Solar water heaters are simple, reliable, famous and widespread. They are probably the Low Carbon technology closest to being commercially practised. The most efficient designs concentrate solar radiation onto a small diameter tub
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
Centrifugal pseudo force: A pseudo force which takes place whenever one is moving in uniform circular motion. One feels a "force" directed outward from the center of the motion.
Weiss constant: The characteristic constant dependent on the substance, employed in computing the susceptibility of the paramagnetic materials.
Davisson-Germer experiment (C.J. Davisson, L.H. Germer; 1927): The experiment which conclusively proved the wave nature of electrons; diffraction patterns were examined by an electron beam penetrating into the nickel target.
Kirchhoff's law of radiation (G.R. Kirchhoff): The emissivity of a body is equivalent to its absorbptance at similar temperature.
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.
Loschmidt constant: Loschmidt number: NL: The total number of particles per unit volume of an ideal gas at standard pressure and temperature. It has the value of 2.687 19 x 1025 m-3.
Hall Effect: Whenever charged particles flow via a tube that has both an electric field and a magnetic field (that is perpendicular to the electric field) present in it, only assured velocities of the charged particles are favored, and will make it un
NUCLEAR PHYSICS (PHY555) HOMEWORK #1 1. Calculate the luminosity for a beam of protons of 1 µA colliding with a stationary liquid hydrogen target 30 cm long. Compare this to a typical colliding beam luminosity of ∼1034 cm-2
