| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| Brane | A brane in String Theory is a multidimensional object that can exist in various dimensions within spacetime. |
| Calabi-Yau manifold | A Calabi-Yau manifold is a complex manifold with special geometric properties used in superstring theory as compactification dimensions. |
| Extra dimensions | Extra dimensions in String Theory refer to spatial dimensions beyond the familiar three dimensions of length, width, and height. |
| M-theory | M-theory is a theoretical framework in physics that unifies all existing string theories into a single overarching theory. |
| Quantum gravity | Quantum gravity is the theoretical framework that aims to describe the force of gravity within the principles of quantum mechanics. |
| String theory | String theory is a theoretical framework in physics that attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity by describing particles as tiny vibrating strings. |
| Superstring theory | Superstring theory is a theoretical framework that describes fundamental particles as one-dimensional "strings" vibrating at different frequencies. |
| Acceleration | Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity over time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). |
| Classical Mechanics | Classical Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of bodies under the action of forces. |
| Dynamics | Dynamics in Classical Mechanics refers to the study of the motion of objects and the forces causing that motion. |
| Force | Force is a vector quantity that causes an object with mass to accelerate, and is measured in Newtons (N). |
| Kinematics | Kinematics in Classical Mechanics refers to the study of motion in terms of position, velocity, acceleration, and time without considering forces. |
| Mass | Mass in Classical Mechanics refers to the measure of an object's resistance to acceleration, determining the force required to move it. |
| Momentum | Momentum is a physical quantity representing the motion of an object, calculated as the product of mass and velocity. |
| Newton's Laws | Newton's Laws are a set of three fundamental principles that describe the relationship between an object's motion and the forces acting on it. |
| Thermodynamics | Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, work, and energy in systems. |
| Energy | Energy in thermodynamics refers to the ability of a system to do work or produce heat, measured in joules. |
| Entropy | Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system, indicating the amount of energy not available for work. |
| Heat | Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies at different temperatures, typically measured in Joules or calories. |
| Temperature | Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, determining its hotness or coldness. |
| Work | Work in thermodynamics refers to the transfer of energy that occurs when a force acts on a system and causes displacement. |
| Internal Energy | Internal energy is the sum of all microscopic forms of energy in a system, including kinetic and potential energies of particles. |
| Electromagnetic field | An electromagnetic field is a force field created by the interaction of electric and magnetic fields, carrying energy and momentum. |
| Electric current | Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes (A) in a specified direction. |
| Magnetic field | A region around a magnet or electric current where magnetic forces are exerted on other magnets or moving charges. |
| Electromagnetic wave | An electromagnetic wave is a wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields propagating through space at the speed of light. |
| Electromotive force | Electromotive force is the potential difference in an electric circuit that causes current to flow, measured in volts (V). |
| Electromagnetic induction | Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating an electromotive force in a conductor by varying the magnetic field around it. |
| Maxwell's equations | Maxwell's equations are a set of four fundamental equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields in space. |
| Lorentz force | The Lorentz force is the combined effect of electric and magnetic forces on a charged particle moving through a magnetic field. |
| Refraction | Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, causing a change in its speed. |
| Reflection | Reflection in optics refers to the bouncing back of light rays from a surface, changing direction while maintaining its properties. |
| Lens | A lens is a transparent optical device that focuses or disperses light rays, commonly used in cameras, microscopes, and eyeglasses. |
| Prism | A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light, separating it into its constituent colors. |
| Focal point | The focal point in optics is the point where parallel light rays converge or diverge after passing through a lens. |
| Diffraction | Diffraction in optics refers to the bending or spreading of light waves as they pass through an aperture or around an obstacle. |
| Index of refraction | The index of refraction is a measure of how much light slows down and bends when passing through a medium. |
| Optical fiber | Optical fiber is a thin, flexible, transparent fiber used to transmit light signals over long distances with minimal loss. |
