fractional terms

The cells and their compounds like cell organelles are measured in terms of the fractions of a millimeter, because of their extremely small size. The commonly used terminologies for these units are micron, nanometer and Angstrom. a) A micron or micrometer is one thousandth of a..

Man is surrounded by an ocean of energy but he has been able to tap only a fraction of it. The most colossal dynamo of all energy is the sun, an unimaginable vast powerhouse which affects everything on earth. But then, why do we hear about energy crisis? We know that energy can be conver..

The increase in temperature of the gas results in increase in the molecular motion. Consequently, the value of the most probable speed increases with increase in temperature. It may be noted that as long as the temperature of a gas is constant, the fraction having the speed equal to most..

In no subject does measurement play as important a role as in science. Real science cannot exist without measurement. According to Lord Kelvin, one of the greatest scientists, unless you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers you have not started 'Exact Science'. Thus the..

Estimation by orders of Magnitude of size (Length, Area and Volume) Mass, Time - In no subject does measurement play as important a role as in science. Real science cannot exist without measurement. According to Lord Kelvin, one of the greatest scientists, unless you can measure what you are speaki..

>In terms of symbols, But x A + x B = 1 or x A = 1-x B (2) From equations (1) and (2) Rearranging In the above equation p A o - p s represents lowering of vapor pressure a..

The rate of a reaction is measured in terms of change in concentration of a reactant or a product with time. Rate of a reaction is measured by following the concentration changes either by chemical analysis or by observing some other property such as color and optical rotation. The rate o..

The last terms in (ii) and (iii) depends upon the fact whether n is even or odd. The binomial theorem for fractional index states that General term For r 0, T r + 1 in the expansion of (1+x) n , |x|<1,n Q is given by If x be so small that its squares and higher powe..

. We call it an equation of state even when we do not know the actual equation. Here's a simple (though approximate) equation of state for a solid material. The temperature coefficient of volume expansion b is the fractional volume change per unit temperature change, and the compressibili..

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..
