I-
ideal gas
An enormous number of very tiny particles separated by relatively large distances. The particles have no internal structure, are indestructible, do not interact with each other except when they collide, and all collisions are elastic.
ideal gas law
PV = cT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, T is the absolute temperature, and c is a constant that depends on the amount of gas.
impulse
The product of the force and the time during which it acts. This vector quantity is equal to the change in momentum.
in phase
Two or more waves with the same wavelength and frequency that have their crests lined up.
index of refraction
An optical property of a substance that determines how much light bends upon entering or leaving it. The index is equal to the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to that in the substance.
inelastic
A collision or interaction in which kinetic energy is not conserved.
inertia
An object's resistance to a change in its velocity. See inertial mass.
inertia, law of
See Newton's first law of motion.
inertial force
A fictitious force that arises in accelerating (noninertial) reference systems. Examples are centrifugal and Coriolis forces.
inertial mass-eylemsiz kütle
Bir nesnenin hızının değişmesini engelleyen nicelik. Birimi kilogram
inertial reference system-eylemsiz referans sistemi
Eylemsizlik yasasının geçerli olduğu referans sistemi (Newton un hareketle ilgili ilk yasası).
instantaneous speed
The limiting value of the average speed as the time interval becomes infinitesimally small. The magnitude of the velocity.
insulator-izolatör
Elektrik yüklerinin hareketini engelleyen veya ısı enerjisinin yayılamadağı zayıf iletkenler veya yalıtkanlar. Seramikler iyi bir izolatördür.
interference-girişim
dalgaların üstüste gelmesi.
intermediate vector bosons-
The exchange particles of the weak nuclear interaction: the W +, W -, and Z0 particles.
internal energy-iç enerji
Bir nesnenin toplam mikroskobik enerjisisi. Bu enerji atom ve moleküllerin ötelenmelerinlerinden, dönmelerinden, titreşim yapmalarından ve moleküler bağlarda saklanan enerjilerden oluşur.
inverse proportionality
A relationship in which a quantity is related to the reciprocal of a second quantity.
inverse-square
A relationship in which a quantity is related to the reciprocal of the square of a second quantity. Examples include the force laws for gravity and electricity; the force is proportional to the inverse-square of the distance.
intrinsic magnetization-yapıya has magnetizasyon
Domainler içerisindeki magnetizasyon.
ion
An atom with missing or extra electrons.
ionic bonding
The binding together of atoms through the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another.
ionization
The removal of one or more electrons from an atom.
isotope
An element containing a specific number of neutrons in its nuclei. Examples are 12 6 C and 14 6 C, carbon atoms with six and eight neutrons, respectively.
