(calorímetro de reacción)
calorímetro
a device used to measure the heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction or physical change, typically by measuring temperature changes in a surrounding medium
termómetro
a piece of equipment that measures the temperature of the air
microchip
a small piece of material that is a semiconductor, used to make an integrated circuit
longitud de onda
the distance between a point on a wave of energy and a similar point on the next wave
Wavelength refers to the distance between two consecutive peaks or low points of a wave, typically measured in meters. In terms of radio, television, or light waves, it determines the size of the wave and is closely related to the frequency. A longer wavelength corresponds to a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength corresponds to a higher frequency. Wavelength affects how waves travel, with longer wavelengths able to travel further and penetrate obstacles more easily, while shorter wavelengths offer higher resolution but may not travel as far.
(teoría de la relatividad)
relatividad
a theory that explains the relationship between motion, space, and time
antimateria
(physics) matter consisting of elementary particles that are the antiparticles of those of regular matter
(solidificación)
congelación
the process of solidification or freezing, typically of a liquid or a substance turning into a solid state due to a decrease in temperature
(subatómica)
subatómico
relating to particles or forces that exist within atoms, including particles smaller than atoms themselves or the interactions between these particles
(neutrinos)
neutrino
a very small, electrically neutral particle that rarely interacts with matter
extremadamente pequeño
extremely small size, typically on the scale of nanometers, which is a billionth of a meter
(endurcer)
solidificar
to transform from a liquid or flexible state into a stable, firm, or compact form
Información Gramatical:
licuar
to change from a solid state and become fluid or liquid
