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..

A planet moves around the sun in such a way that the square of its time period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its elliptical orbit. If T is the time period of revolution and 'a' the semi-major axis then, for circular orbits a = r (radiu..

Gas Laws - Boyle's Law - The study of behaviour of gases has led to the formulation of a few important generalisations called as Gas Laws..

Gas Laws - Charles' Law - Jacques Alexander Cesar Charles, a French chemist, discovered in 1787, that at a constant pressure, with rise in temperature, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, all expanded at constant rat..

The 'zeroth law' states that 'if two bodies (say A and B) are in thermal equilibrium with another body C, then the bodies A and B will also be in thermal equilibrium with each other'. This law is important as it helps in understanding the concept of temperature. This means that ..

Boyle's Law Robert Boyle proposed this law in the year 1662, giving the relationship between pressure and volume of given mass of a gas at constant temperature. This law states that volume (V) of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressur..
