Biophysics
This medical imaging technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body.
MRI
This famous telescope, launched in 1990, orbits Earth and has captured deep-space images.
Hubble Space Telescope
This property of a material measures its opposition to the flow of electric current.
Electrical resistance
What type of electromagnetic radiation was discovered by William Herschel in 1800?
Infrared Light
Who is this? - One of the most famous and influential physicists in history, more known for developing the theory of relativity.
Albert Einstein.
This microscopy technique uses fluorescence to visualize specific proteins inside cells.
fluorescence microscopy
This radiation, discovered accidentally in 1965, is leftover heat from the early universe.
Cosmic Microwave background (CMB)
This law relates voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit.
Ohm's Law
The discovery of energy-mass equivalence contributed to the creation of what weapon in 1945?
The atomic bomb
Who is this? -An italian Astronomer/ engineer who was famous for pioneering modern observational astronomy and laying the foundation for classical mechanics.
Galileo Galilei
This type of transport moves molecules from high concentration to low concentration without using energy.
Diffusion
This parameter measures the rate at which the universe is expanding today.
the Hubble Constant
This type of current reverses direction periodically in an electrical circuit.
Alternating Current (AC)
What formula was derived in 1621 that relates the refractive indices of two different materials?
Snell's Law
Who is this? -An English polymath largely famous for defining the laws of motion and laying the foundation for classical mechanics- also renowned for inventing calculus.
Isaac Newton
This law states that the pressure difference across a curved surface is proportional to surface tension and inversely proportional to radius.
Laplace's Law
This type of supernova results from the core collapse of a massive star greater than about 8 solar masses.
Type II Supernova
This principle states that the total energy in an isolated system remains constant.
The conservation of energy
This special invention created in 1836 shields whatever it contains from outside electromagnetic fields.
The Faraday Cage
Who is this? - A German theoretical physicist who revolutionized science by originating the Quantum Theory.
Max Planck
This technique uses a highly focused laser beam to trap and manipulate microscopic particles, often to measure molecular forces.
Optical Tweezers
This process describes matter being ripped apart and accreted by a black hole, producing a luminous flare
Tidal disruption event
This effect occurs when a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field experiences a force at right angles to both the current and field.
Lorentz Force
What year was The Bohr Model, the atomic model that introduced quantized electron energies, proposed?
1913
Who is this? -An American Aerospace engineer and author known more for her critical contributions to the AGS system aboard the Apollo 13 mission.
