Famous Physicists
The physicist that described the equation E = mc^2.
Who is Albert Einstein?
States that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass, or F = ma.
What is Newton’s second law of motion?
Has the value of 1.602 × 10^−19 C.
What is elementary charge?
The physicist who formulated the uncertainty principle.
Who is Werner Heisenberg?
The change in inertial energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system plus the work done on the system.
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
A constant with the value of 6.626 × 10^−34 Js.
What is Planck's constant?
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths between 100 and 400 nanometers.
What is ultraviolet light?
Discovered that black holes emit radiation.

What is the speed of light?
A set of physical properties observed in certain materials where electrical resistance vanishes and magnetic fields are expelled from the material.
What is superconductivity?
Discovered that particles, such as electrons, could be described not only as particles but also as waves.
Who is Louis V. de Broglie?
A physical constant and the natural unit for expressing the magnetic moment of an electron, u_b = eℏ/2m.
What is Bohr's magneton?
The splitting of an energy level into multiple levels in the presence of an external magnetic field.
