Define Tardon
Tardon: A particle that has a positive real mass and travels at a speed very less than c in all inertial frames.
Van der Waals force (J.D. van der Waals): The forces responsible for non-ideal behavior of gases, and for lattice energy of molecular crystals. There are three main causes: dipole-dipole interaction; dipole-induced dipole moments; and dispersion a for
Briefly state the atomic model which the Erwin Schrodinger creates?
What is the reason that heat causes matter to expand? Briefly explain it.
Cherenkov radiation (P.A. Cherenkov): The radiation emitted by a huge particle which is moving faster than light in the medium via which it is travelling. No particle can travel faster than the light in vacuum, however the speed of light in other medi
Trojan points: L4 and L5 are the two dynamically stable Lagrange points (that is, beneath certain conditions).
Cosmic censorship conjecture (R. Penrose, 1979): The conjecture, so far wholly undemonstrated in the context of general relativity, that all singularities (that is with the possible exception of the big bang singularity) are attended
Rydberg formula (Rydberg): The formula that explains all of the characteristics of hydrogen's spectrum, comprising the Balmer, Paschen, Lyman, Brackett, and Pfund sequence. For the transition between an electron in
Bohr magneton (N. Bohr) - This is the quantum of magnetic moment. Bohr radius (N. Bohr) - The distance equivalent to the mean distance of an electron from the nucleus in the ground state of hydroge
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
Young's experiment: double-slit experiment (T. Young; 1801): A well-known experiment that exhibits the wave nature of light (and certainly of other particles). The light is passed from a small source into an opaque screen with the two thin slits. The
