Kirchhoff's Law - A body that is a good radiator (or emitter) is also a good absorber. To understand this, suppose isotropic (i.e., equal in all directions) thermal radiation is incident on a body. Let a be the fraction of the total thermal radiation of all wavelengths absorbed by the bod..

Summary - Gases are different from solids and liquids. They have no definite shape or volume. When pressure is applied, a gas contracts and when pressure is released, the gas expands. Gases can move in all directions and completely diffuse with other gases to form a homogenous mixture. Gases have l..

Graham's law is useful in: Separation of gases having different densities by diffusion. Determining the densities and molecular masses of unknown gases by comparing their rates of diffusion with known gases. Separating the isotopes of some of the element..

Is Newton's third law of motion applicable to gravitational force? Yes it is. Let us now see how Newton's third law of motion is applicable to the gravitational force existing between the various objects in the universe. According to Newton's third law of motion to eve..

Pure translation (fixed direction) Pure rotation (fixed axis) Position x Angular position θ Velocity v = dx/dt Angular velocity ω= dθ/dt Acceleration a = dv/dt Angular acceleration α= dω/dt Mass m Rota..

All the molecules of a gas are identical with respect to their shape and mass. The molecules of different gases are different. The gas molecules behave as rigid, elastic and smooth spheres. The size of gas molecules is very less when compared to the intermolecular distance between..

We are already familiar with set theory and mathematical logic from earlier classes. It has already been seen that there is a similarity between the laws stated in set theory and the mathematical logic. The operations 'union', 'intersection' and 'complement' on sets are comparable..

Gases are different from solids and liquids. They have no definite shape or volume. When pressure is applied, a gas contracts and when pressure is released, the gas expands. Gases can move in all directions and completely diffuse with other gases to form a homogenous mixture. Gases have ..

When a body rolls over a surface, the frictional force developed between the surfaces is called rolling friction. For example, when a wheel rolls over a surface, the surface of the wheel and the surface on which it rolls are both slightly deformed. A resistance to smooth rolling is produced due to ..

Newton's Third Law of Motion and Force of Gravitation - Let us now see how Newton's third law of motion is applicable to the gravitational force existing between the various objects in the universe. According to Newton's third law of motion to every action, there is an..
