energy of motion
what is kinetic energy
a collision where the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved
what is an elastic collision?
evidence of atomic energy levels
what is emission spectrum?
Product of the mass and velocity of an object
what is momentum?
a wave where there is no energy transfer throughout the medium
what is a standing wave?
non-mechanical energy that flows from one object to another
what is heat energy?
it is conserved provided that there are no external forces are acting on the system
what is conservation of momentum?
Gravitational
Electromagnetic
Weak nuclear
Strong nuclear
what are the fundamental forces?
the acceleration of an object is proportional to negative of displacement
what is simple harmonic motion?
quantity whose square of amplitude gives the greatest probability of finding a photon
what is wave function?
energy required to change the temperature of the object by one degree
what is thermal capacity?
Lenz' Law is an example of this conservation
what is conservation of energy?
must always be conserved in nuclear reactions involving quarks
what is baryon number/ charge?
a pair of stars that orbit the same center of mass
what are binary stars?
power received per unit area
what is intensity?
energy that can be released from 1 kg of a fuel
what is specific energy?
energy released when a nuclide is assembled from its individual components
what is binding energy?
probability that an individual nucleus will decay in a given time interval
what is decay constant?
energy supplied by source per unit charge when no charge is flowing around a circuit.
what is emf?
the apparent change in the observed frequency caused by relative movement of the source and the observer
what is Doppler effect?
energy needed to do the work to overcome the attractive forces that act on the electron within the metal
what is work function?
a property which is not conserved in all nuclear reactions
What is strangeness?
the phenomenon which allows fusion in the Sun's core
what is quantum tunnelling?
oscillations which maintain the same period no matter what the amplitude is.
what is an isochronous oscillation?
resonate at the same frequency with ultraviolet light
