It's all relative
Albert Einstein (Big Al to his friends) won his Nobel Prize for this subject.
What is the photoelectric effect?
The term atom comes from the ancient Greek and means this quality.
What is indivisibility?
Einstein described this scientist's work on the structure of the atom as the "highest form of musicality in the sphere of thought".
Who is Niels Bohr?
This is called the flow of electrons through a wire, air, or even ourselves.
What is electricity?
What is the x-ray?
What are special relativity and general relativity?
Ancient Greek philosopher who studied motion seriously.
Who is Aristotle?
This scientist won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to quantum mechanics and is the grandfather of Olivia Newton-John.
Who is Max "I'm not Jason" Born.
Thicker around the edge center than at its center, this type of lens causes lightwaves to diverge when passing through it.
What is concave?
Combining atomic nuclei to form a heavier element, it happens in the sun's core.
What is fusion?
This nearly impossible to see astronomical body was predicted by general relativity.
What is a black hole?
NOOOOOHe invented the thermometer.
Who is Galileo?
This failure of classical physics predicted that blackbodies would emit infinite energy in the ultraviolet spectrum and therefore motivated scientists to develop quantum theory.
What is the Ultraviolet Catastrophe?
NOOOIn his "Principia" Newton derived his 3 foundational laws of This that explained the effects of force and mass.
What is motion?
This scientist suggested the idea of relativistic effects years before Big Al.
Who is Galieo in 1639?
This Greek philosopher determined that an object will float if the weight of the water displaced by the object is equal to or greater than the weight of the object.
Who is Archimedes?
Dr. Banner would tell you that these waves, produced by the decay of radioactive nuclei, have the shortest wavelength and highest energy.
What are gamma rays?
Branch of physics that deals with motion, like the bumping of molecules in a gas.
What is kinetics?
With the same mass and magnitude of charge, an antiparticle of an electron is called this.
What is a positron?
Simple formula used to determine how much energy a chain reaction would release?
What is the E =mc2?
This badger and Illini professor is the only winner of 2 Nobel's in physics -- the first for the invention of the transistor and the second for their work on superconductor theory.
Who is John Bardeen?
Tendency of things to resist a change in motion.
What is inertia?
4-letter property that specifies the angular momentum of a sub-atomic particle.
What is spin?
