Define Machs principle
Mach's principle (E. Mach; c. 1870): The inertia of any specific particle or particles of matter is attributable to the interaction among that piece of matter and the rest of the world. Therefore, a body in isolation would contain no inertia.
Hubble constant: H0 (E.P. Hubble; 1925): The constant that determines the relationship among the distance to a galaxy and its velocity of recession due to the growth of the Universe. As the Universe is self-gravitating, it is not trut
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,
What do you mean by the term cardiac output? Briefly explain it.
Eddington limit (Sir A. Eddington): The hypothetical limit at which the photon pressure would surpass the gravitational attraction of a light-emitting body. That is, a body emanating radiation at bigger than the Eddington limit would
Pfund series: The series that explains the emission spectrum of hydrogen whenever the electron is jumping to the fifth orbital. Each line is in the infrared part of the spectrum.
The velocity of a body was observed to be constant throughout five minutes of its motion. Determine its acceleration during this interval?
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.
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
What does MeV in MeV photon signify? Briefly describe it.
Kirchhoff's law of radiation (G.R. Kirchhoff): The emissivity of a body is equivalent to its absorbptance at similar temperature.
