One part per quadrillion (ppq) denotes one part per 1,000,000,000,000,000 (10 15) parts, and a value of 10 −15. This is equivalent to about two and a half minutes out of the age of the Earth (4.5 billion years). Although relatively uncommon in analytical chemistry, measurements at the ppq level are sometimes performed. [3]
The term Modern physics is normally used for fields which rely heavily on quantum theory, including quantum mechanics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, particle physics and condensed matter physics. General and special relativity are usually considered to be part of modern physics as well.
1 Newtonian physics. 2 Conservation laws. 3 Law of universal gravitation. ... This is a list of mathematical topics in classical mechanics, by Wikipedia page.
There are also two SL only courses: a transdisciplinary course, Environmental Systems and Societies, that satisfies Diploma requirements for Groups 3 and 4, [2] and Sports, Exercise and Health Science (previously, for last examinations in 2013, a pilot subject [3]). Astronomy also exists as a school-based syllabus.
A branch of physics that studies atoms as isolated systems of electrons and an atomic nucleus. Compare nuclear physics. atomic structure atomic weight (A) The sum total of protons (or electrons) and neutrons within an atom. audio frequency A periodic vibration whose frequency is in the band audible to the average human, the human hearing range.
The higher-dimensional generalization of the Kerr metric was discovered by Robert Myers and Malcolm Perry. [1] Like the Kerr metric, the Myers–Perry metric has spherical horizon topology. The construction involves making a Kerr–Schild ansatz ; by a similar method, the solution has been generalized to include a cosmological constant .
In particle physics, a generation or family is a division of the elementary particles. Between generations, particles differ by their flavour quantum number and mass, but their electric and strong interactions are identical. There are three generations according to the Standard Model of particle physics.
