Define Watt or SI unit of power
Watt: W (after J. Watt, 1736-1819): The derived SI unit of power, stated as a power of 1 J acting over the period of 1 s; it therefore has the units of J/s.
Joule: J (after J.P. Joule, 1818-1889): The derived SI unit of energy stated as the quantity of work done by moving an object via a distance of 1 m by exerting a force of 1 N; it therefore has units of N m.
Briefly explain the reason why does sun emerge flat throughout sunrise and sunset?
Lenz's law (H.F. Lenz; 1835): The induced electric current always flows in such a direction that it resists the change generating it.
Describe why is heavy water employed as a moderator? Illustrate.
Becquerel: Bq (after A.H. Becquerel, 1852-1908) - The derived SI unit of the activity stated as the activity of radionuclide decay at a rate, on the average, of one nuclear transition every 1 s; it hence has units of s-1.
Negative feedback principle: It is the idea that in a system where there are self-propagating situations, those new situations tend to act against formerly existing situations. Such a principle is in actuality a restatement of the conservation law.
What do you mean by Fission and Fusion?
What is Curie constant and Curies law? Curie constant: C (P. Curie): The characteristic constant, dependent on the material in question that points out the proportionality among its susceptibility
Twin paradox: One of the most well-known "paradoxes" in history, predicted by Sir Einstein's special theory of relativity. It takes two twins, born on similar date on Earth. One, Albert, leaves home for a trip about the Universe at very high speeds (v
Hooke's law (R. Hooke): The stress exerted to any solid is proportional to the strain it generates within the elastic limit for that solid. The constant of that proportionality is the Young modulus of elasticity for that material.
