reflected ray
Physics; General physics
A line representing direction of motion of light reflected from a boundary.
gram-atomic weight
Physics; General physics
The mass in grams of one mole of an element that is numerically equal to its atomic weight.
retardation
Physics; General physics
Negative acceleration is called retardation. In retardation the velocity of a body decreases with time.

Physics; General physics
The mass in grams of one mole of a compound that is numerically equal to its formula weight.
saturated solution
Physics; General physics
The apparent limit to dissolving a given solid in a specified amount of water at a given temperature; a state of equilibrium that exists between dissolving solute and solute coming out of solution.
scientific law
Physics; General physics
A relationship between quantities, usually described by an equation in the physical sciences; is more important and describes a wider range of phenomena than a scientific principle.
