General physics
standing waves
Physics; General physics
The waves formed due to superposition of two waves of same frequency and traveling in opposite directions with same speed.
steam-point
Physics; General physics
It is the temperature of steam over pure boiling water under 1 atm pressure. It is equal to 100 or 212 .
superconductors
Physics; General physics
Some materials in which, under certain conditions, the electrical resistance approaches zero.
surface tension
Physics; General physics
The property of a liquid due to which its surface behaves like a stretched membrane.
tesla
Physics; General physics
The S.I. unit of magnetic flux density, defined as the magnetic flux density of a magnetic flux of 1 Wb through an area of 1m2.
thermal capacity
Physics; General physics
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the whole body by 1 .
thermal equilibrium
Physics; General physics
When the two bodies in contact are at the same temperature and there is no flow of heat between them, these are said to be in thermal equilibrium.
