IN 1904 there appeared a slender volume entitled “The Dynamical Theory of Gases”, in which the author, now Sir James Jeans, endeavoured to develop the theory “upon as exact a mathematical ...

In this episode, Shini explores sea level, kinetic theory, and phase changes. How the heck do we map out a planet without oceans? There's some tricky, yet fascinating science behind all of it!

The kinetic theory model can be used to explain the properties of solids, liquids and gases by considering the molecules they are made from and their motion. For gases, the kinetic theory model ...

But the details of the observations of MACS J0717.5+3745 at different wavelengths were puzzling until they were analyzed in terms of a theory called the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect.

It is almost impossible to grasp a subject until and unless you revise and practice the concepts explained in that. To help students get enough practice, NCERT books offer a variety of questions ...

NEW books on the kinetic theory of gases are rather rare phenomena. The best early comprehensive works on the subject were written in German, by O. E. Meyer (“Kinetische Theorie der Gase ...

Those who argued that molecules moved, and hit each other, were discredited until James Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann used statistics to support this kinetic theory. Ideas about atoms developed in ...
