  2. Scale height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_height

    In atmospheric, earth, and planetary sciences, a scale height, usually denoted by the capital letter H, is a distance (vertical or radial) over which a physical quantity decreases by a factor of e (the base of natural logarithms, approximately 2.718).

  3. Microscopic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_scale

    In physics, the microscopic scale is sometimes regarded as the scale between the macroscopic scale and the quantum scale. [2] [3] Microscopic units and measurements are used to classify and describe very small objects. One common microscopic length scale unit is the micrometre (also called a micron) (symbol: μm), which is one millionth of a metre.

  4. BBC Bitesize - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Bitesize

    Until 2014, the Standard Grade section of the site had 12 subjects: Biology, History, Chemistry, Computing Studies, Maths, English, Modern Studies (a course exclusive to Scotland), French, Physical Education, Geography, and Physics. [9] The site was updated in 2014 to replace the Standard Grade section with National 4 and National 5 sections.

  5. Critical point (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point...

    The figure shows the schematic P-T diagram of a pure substance (as opposed to mixtures, which have additional state variables and richer phase diagrams, discussed below). The commonly known phases solid , liquid and vapor are separated by phase boundaries, i.e. pressure–temperature combinations where two phases can coexist.

  6. Spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy

    Spectroscopy, primarily in the electromagnetic spectrum, is a fundamental exploratory tool in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, materials science, and physics, allowing the composition, physical structure and electronic structure of matter to be investigated at the atomic, molecular and macro scale, and over astronomical distances.

  7. pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

    It is a logarithmic scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of aqueous solutions. Acidic solutions (solutions with higher concentrations of hydrogen (H +) ions) are measured to have lower pH values than basic or alkaline solutions. The pH scale is logarithmic and inversely indicates the activity of hydrogen ions in the solution

  8. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram

    The Feynman diagrams are much easier to keep track of than "old-fashioned" terms, because the old-fashioned way treats the particle and antiparticle contributions as separate. Each Feynman diagram is the sum of exponentially many old-fashioned terms, because each internal line can separately represent either a particle or an antiparticle.

  9. GCSE Science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCSE_Science

    Triple Award Science, commonly referred to as Triple Science, results in three separate GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics and provide the broadest coverage of the main three science subjects. The qualifications are offered by the five main awarding bodies in England; AQA , Edexcel , OCR , CIE and Eduqas .
