438 trit<strong>on</strong> is the nucleus of tritium, c<strong>on</strong>sisting of <strong>on</strong>e prot<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> two neutr<strong>on</strong>s. 265, 426, 437 turbine is essentially fan blades <strong>on</strong> a rotating shaft, which can be compelled to move by a flow of air, water, or steam through the blades. 89, 99, 164, 175, 185, 190, 250, 279, 280, 282, 295, 430 universe refers to the entirety of our physical realm, including all galaxies. 9, 54, 55, 257, 312, 392, 423 U-value describes the insulating quality of a wall or similar barrier, in terms of how many Watts move through each square meter of surface area for each 1 ◦ C difference in temperature across the barrier. Units are W/m 2 / ◦ C, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> smaller numbers mean better insulati<strong>on</strong>. The U-value is an inverse measure to the R-value, numerically 5.7/R. 87, 436 valance b<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> is the energy level of outer electr<strong>on</strong>s bound to an atom. Valance electr<strong>on</strong>s stay home, as opposed to electr<strong>on</strong>s in the c<strong>on</strong>ducti<strong>on</strong> b<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>. 203, 422, 425 Volt (V) is a unit of voltage, or electric potential, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> can be thought of as the electrical analog to gravitati<strong>on</strong>al potential energy, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> is also somewhat like pressure in a fluid system. 77, 198, 427, 438 voltage is a measure of electric potential energy, expressed in units of Volts. 77, 438 Watt (W) is a unit of power, defined so that 1Wis1J/s(<strong>on</strong>e Joule per sec<strong>on</strong>d). 7, 18, 21, 43, 71, 77, 118, 169, 196, 267, 309, 371, 431, 434, 438 watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy, c<strong>on</strong>structed as a power (watts) times time (hours). It is equivalent to 3,600 Joules, or 0.001 kWh. 73, 77, 97, 110, 176, 427, 438 wavelength measures the length of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> can apply to waves in water, air (sound), or electromagnetic waves (light). The symbol λ (lambda) is often used to denote wavelength. The units are length (m), often expressed in micr<strong>on</strong>s (μm). 79, 144, 198, 283, 394, 426, 431, 434, 436 weak nuclear force joins gravity, electromagnetism, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the str<strong>on</strong>g nuclear force as <strong>on</strong>e of nature’s four fundamental forces, resp<strong>on</strong>sible for beta decays <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> neutrino interacti<strong>on</strong>s. 244, 245, 433 Wh watt-hour. 73, 97, 98, 110, 175, 176, 438 Wien law describes the wavelength for which the Planck spectrum is at maximum brightness. It is roughly 2.9 mm divided by the blackbody temperature, in Kelvin. 199 work is a mechanical expressi<strong>on</strong> of energy, defined as a force (Newt<strong>on</strong>s) times distance (meters) through which the force acts (al<strong>on</strong>g the same directi<strong>on</strong>). The resulting unit is the Joule. 68, 84, 89, 174, 248, 379, 427 © 2021 T. W.
