Schrodinger Wave Equation

 Schrodinger Wave Equation The Schrodinger’s Wave Equation is the fundamental equation of physics for describing quantum mechanical behavior. It is also often called the Schrodinger Wave Equation, and is a partial differential equation that describes how the...

Compton effect

Compton effect The Compton effect (also called Compton scattering) is the result of a high-energy photon colliding with a target, which releases loosely bound electrons from the outer shell of the atom or molecule. The scattered radiation experiences a wavelength...

Planck theory

Planck theory Max Planck suggested that the energy of light is proportional to its frequency, also showing that light exists in discrete quanta of energy Planck’s law describes the electromagnetic radiation emitted by ablack body in thermal equilibrium at a...

Black Body Radiation

Black Body Radiation      Black-body radiation is the type of electromagnetic radiation within or surrounding a body in thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment, or emitted by a black body (an opaque and non-reflective body) held at constant, uniform...

Lee disc method

Lee disc method The Lee’s Disc experiment determines an approximate value for the thermal conductivity k of a poor conductor like glass, cardboard, etc. The procedure is to place a disc made of the poor conductor, radius r and thickness x, between a steam chamber and...

Newton’s law of cooling

Newton’s law of Cooling   Temperature difference in any situation results from energy flow into a system or energy flow from a system to surroundings. The former leads to heating, whereas latter leads to cooling of an object. Newton’s Law of Cooling states that...
