What is Lyman series
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.
Joule-Thomson effect: Joule-Kelvin effect (J.P. Joule, W. Thomson [later Lord Kelvin]): The change in temperature which takes place whenever a gas expands into an area of lower pressure.
Rayleigh-Jeans law: For a blackbody at the thermodynamic temperature T, the radiance R over a range of frequencies between the nu and nu + dnu is specified by: R = 2 pi nu2 k T/c2.<
Kepler's 1-2-3 law: The other formulation of Kepler's third law, that relates to the mass m of the primary to a secondary's angular velocity omega and semi major axis a: m o = omega2 a3
Roche limit: The position about a massive body where the tidal forces due to the gravity of the primary equivalent or exceed the surface gravity of a specified satellite. Within the Roche limit, such a satellite will be interrupted by tides.
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.
Complementarity principle (N. Bohr): The principle that a specified system can’t exhibit both wave-like behavior and particle-like behavior at similar time. That is, some experiments will reveal the wave-like nature of a system,
Pascal's principle: The pressure exerted to an enclosed incompressible static fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid.
Hoop conjecture (K.S. Thorne, 1972): The conjecture (as so far unproven, although there is substantial proof to support it) that a non-spherical object, non-spherically compressed, will only form a black hole whenever all parts of the
Cosmological redshift: The effect where light emanates from a distant source appears redshifted since of the expansion of the space time itself.
Rydberg constant (Rydberg): The constant that governs the relationship of the spectral line features of an atom via the Rydberg formula. For hydrogen, it is around 1.097 x 107 m-1.
