Define Parsec
Parsec: The unit of distance stated as the distance pointed by an Earth-orbit parallax of 1 arcsec. It equals around 206 264 au, or about 3.086 x 1016 m
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
What do you mean by the term curvilinear motion? State in brief?
Lyman series: The sequence that explains the emission spectrum of hydrogen whenever electrons are jumping to the ground state. Each and every line is in the ultraviolet.
Hawking radiation (S.W. Hawking; 1973): The theory which black holes emit radiation similar to any other hot body. The virtual particle-antiparticle pairs are continuously being made in supposedly empty space. Infrequently, a pair wil
What is Farad or SI unit of capacitance? Farad: F (after M. Faraday, 1791-1867): The derived SI unit of the capacitance stated as the capacitance in a capacitor that, when charged to 1 C, contains
Noether theorem (Noether): A theorem that explains that symmetries are what gives rise to conserved quantities. For example, the translational symmetry (that is the fact that the laws of physics work the same in all positions) gives r
What do you mean by communication? Illustrate in brief.
Newton: N (after Sir I. Newton, 1642-1727): The derived SI unit of force, stated as the force needed to give a mass of 1 kg of an acceleration of 1 m/s2; it therefore has units of kg m/s2.
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.
