natural world by the application of logic scientific methods‚ including modeling by theoreticians. As a core scientific discipline‚ physics is concerned with the fundamental laws that govern the behaviour of everything from the smallest elementary particle to the evolution of the Universe‚ which includes living and non-living organisms. Physics may be thought of as the foundational science‚ upon which stand the "central sciences" for example nuclear science‚ chemistry‚ biological sciences‚ and material

therefore even if there is a slight fluctuation in the market the entire reaction need not be affected. Even though there are principal risks associated with nuclear power arise from health effects of radiation. This radiation consists of subatomic particles traveling at or near the velocity of light---186‚000 miles per second. They can penetrate deep inside the human body where they can damage biological cells and thereby initiate a cancer. If they strike sex cells‚ they can cause genetic diseases

Democritus was the first scientist to create a model of the atom as well as the first to discover that all matter is made up of indivisible particles called atoms. His belief in atoms was that atoms were small‚ hard particles that were all made of the same material but were different shapes and sizes. Furthermore he believed that atoms were infinite in shape‚ in number‚ always moving and capable if joining together. Unlike Democritus’s belief‚ Aristotle’s belief about the atom were completely different

location of the alpha particles by surrounding the bombarded object with a sheet coated in ZnS‚ which would emit of flash of light when hit with an alpha particle. Through previous experiments of shooting alpha particles‚ Rutherford knew they had considerable mass and speed. He then hypothesized that these particles would penetrate a thin metal foil‚ although they may scatter slightly because of the charge in the metal atom’s subatomic particles. After shooting alpha particles through the thin sheet

The Tao that can be told of is not the eternal Tao; The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; The Named is the mother of all things. So opens the Tao-Te Ching‚ an ancient Chinese text whose subject is Tao‚ or the inexpressible rhythm of the universe and driving force behind all of nature. The term is also used to describe a human life which meshes with this most fundamental and immanent force; the most common English translation is‚ perhaps

The forces that govern the behavior of subatomic particles are electromagnetic‚ strong‚ weak‚ and gravity. f. The atom is the smallest piece of matter. g.

continues to increase. On the other hand a common argument for the continued research in atomic and subatomic structure is the desire for a greater understanding of the universe. As we study the interactions of very small particles‚ we can gain a better understanding of how they work together to ultimately create the world we live in. Also there is a practical goal of understanding subatomic particles. Current data on how atoms and electrons interact is based on observation alone‚ and the reasons are
