Notes On Gaseous State This page provides you all details about the gaseous state of BSc standard. Concerned problems will be solved at the end of each concept. Continue till the end to find the easiest explanation of every concept you need in this regard . Postulates of Kinetic Theory of Gases: 1. All gas consist of a very large number of minute particles, called molecules. 2. The gas molecules are extremely small in size and are separated by large distance. The actual volume of the gas molecules is thus negligible as compared to the total volume occupied by the gas. 3. The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the bombardment of the molecules on the walls of the vessel. 4. The gas molecules collide with one another and also with the walls of the vessels. These collisions are perfectly elastic and there is no loss of energy during these collisions. 5. The distance between the gas molecules are very large. Thus, there is no effective force of attraction or r
Notes on Generic Elective Physics - II Atomic and Nuclear Physics Inadequacy of classical physics: Classical physics, also called Newtonian physics, is a scientific framework that was developed to describe the motion of objects on macroscopic scales. It is highly successful in explaining and predicting the behavior of everyday objects, such as the motion of planets, the behavior of fluids, and the mechanics of solid objects. However, classical physics has certain limitations and fails to adequately describe certain phenomena observed in the natural world. Here are a few areas where classical physics is inadequate: 1.Quantum Mechanics: Classical physics cannot explain the behavior of particles on the atomic and subatomic scale. Quantum mechanics, a branch of physics developed in the early 20th century, provides a more accurate description of the behavior of particles at these scales. Quantum mechanics introduces concepts such as wave-particle duality, superposition, and uncer
