Quarks to Quasars

Balmer lines: Lines in the spectrum of hydrogen atom in visible range, produced by transition between n 2 and n = 2, n is the principal quantum no.

Bar:A unit of pressure, equal to 105 Pascals.

Baryon:subatomic particle composed of three quarks.

Beat:A phenomenon of the periodic variation in the intensity of sound due to superposition of waves differing slightly in frequency.

Bernoulli’s theorem:The total energy per unit volume of a non-viscous, incompressible fluid in a streamline flow remains constant.

Beta particle:An electron emitted from a nucleus in radioactive decay.

Binding energy:The net energy required to decompose a system into its constituent particles.

Black body:An ideal body which would absorb all incident radiation and reflect none.

Black hole:The remaining core of a supernova that is so dense that even light cannot escape.

Boyle’s law:For a given mass of a gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.

Brewster’s law:States that the refractive index of a material is equal to the tangent of the polarizing angle for the material.

Brownian motion:The continuous random motion of solid microscopic particles when suspended in a fluid medium due to the consequence of ongoing bombardment by atoms and molecules.

Bulk’s modulus of elasticity:The ratio of normal stress to the volumetric strain produced in a body.

Buoyant force:upward force on an object immersed in fluid.

   Lil side note… beta particle… is denoted with a beta, not a B. β≠B edit* after looking at this I realize that these...

   So who can name the 6 quarks?
