Work
Physics; General physics
Work is done when force acting on a body displaces it. Work = Force x Displacement in the direction of the force.
Zeeman effect
Physics; General physics
The splitting of the spectral lines in a spectrum when the source is exposed to a magnetic field.
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
Physics; General physics
If body A is in thermal equilibrium with body B, and B is also in thermal equilibrium with C, then A is necessarily in thermal equilibrium with C.
Absolute humidity
Physics; General physics
Water vapour in the air, the weight of water vapour in the volume of the air.
Absolute zero
Physics; General physics
