101Albedo — The albedo of an object is the extent to which it diffusely reflects light from the sun. It is therefore a more specific form of the term reflectivity. Albedo is defined asthe ratio of diffusely reflected to incident electromagnetic radiation. It …
102History of physics — The modern discipline of physics emerged in the 17th century following in traditions of inquiry established by Galileo Galilei, René Descartes, Isaac Newton, and other natural philosophers.Fact|date=September 2008 Prior to this time, a unified… …
103Radiation — Radiation, as in physics, is energy in the form of waves or moving subatomic particles emitted by an atom or other body as it changes from a higher energy state to a lower energy state. Radiation can be classified as ionizing or non ionizing… …

105Radio astronomy — is a subfield of astronomy that studies celestial objects at radio frequencies. The field originated from the discovery that many astronomical objects emit radiation in the radio wavelengths as well as optical ones. The great advances in radio… …
106Planck's law — For a general introduction, see black body. In physics, Planck s law describes the spectral radiance of electromagnetic radiation at all wavelengths from a black body at temperature T. As a function of frequency u, Planck s law is written as:… …
