The number of units in a mole is 6.02 × 1023. This number is called Avogadro’s number in honour of Amedeo Avogadro. Full name‚ Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro was an Italian physicist‚ born in Italy on August 9‚ 1776. Avogadro graduated in law at the age of 31. He then dedicated himself to physics and mathematics

His work is summarized in two books‚ “Thermodynamik” (Thermodynamics) in 1897‚ and “Theorie der Wärmestrahlung” (Theory of Heat Radiation) in 1906. Max Planck is commonly known as “The Father of Quantum Theory.” He dedicated his life to understanding the workings of Quantum Physics‚ and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. For years that spanned several decades‚ physicists were working ahrd at

reason within physics. How far do you agree with this? What is physics? It comes from the Greek word physis. “Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space-time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force”- Wikipedia. Physics is everything in this world. It is used to see how the universe behaves. This makes both reason and emotion a part of physics despite their importance in the proving of physics they can also be proved via physics. While emotion

contribution to the enlightenment was making the telescope. In 1668 he created the telescope for optics and this invention proved the idea of color and light. He proved that light was the composite of all other colors and that light is made up of particles. A little bit later a scientists named Robert Hooke came into play. Him and Newton did not like each other very much because they talked about the same stuff‚ but both of

Physics (Thorpe Park Trip) Report: On Monday 8th October our physics class went on a physics trip to Thorpe Park to look at the different ways in which a roller coast works. This report will be looking at the G forces acting on rides‚ the launching systems and breaking systems. The particular rollercoaster which I have picked to look into more detail in is “Stealth” which is located in Thorpe Park. Stealth: Stealth was originally designed by Werner Stengel. Stealth reaches a height of 205 feet

There are many energy sources that can be readily converted into electricity. In Australia‚ most power plants burn a fuel‚ such as coal‚ or use the energy of falling water to generate electricity on a large scale. Electricity is also relatively

Einstein. He did so much to define our understanding of the natural world and gave science the formulas and knowledge to control so many aspects of our modern lives. He predicted atoms before they were discovered. He was the first to postulate a particle of light. This first paper of 1905 described the photoelectric effect and predicted photons. This allowed the invention of television‚ digital cameras‚ and remote controls. This work allowed others the mechanical understanding of the universe to

is the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death. Hawking originally studied at Oxford University in England studying physics even though he would have preferred math. He moved onto Cambridge University to work on his PhD in cosmology. Hawking’s career has focused upon the cosmic entities known as black holes‚ and has extended to specialized areas such as quantum gravity‚ particle physics‚ and supersymmetry. A field of study that Stephen Hawking is known for is cosmology. Cosmology is the metaphysical

Dalton used the Greek word “atomos” or “atoms” to label the particles. Dalton believed that atoms of different elements could be distinguished based on their varying atomic weights‚ While doing this‚ he became the first scientist to explain the behavior of atoms using the measurement of weight. Dalton also the first
