Intervals as subsets of R Closed intervals Let a and b be two given real numbers such that a < b. Then the set of all real numbers x such that a ≤ x ≤ b is called a closed interval and is denoted by [a, b] . Thus, [a, b] = {…
Macroscopic and Microscopic Approaches The behaviour of matter can be studied by two approaches 1. Macroscopic approach, 2. Microscopic approach 1. Macroscopic approach – In the macroscopic approach a certain quantity of matter is considered for study without knowing the behaviour of individual…
Pressure The molecules of a gas are in random motion. The rapidly moving molecules continually impact on the surface of the container and its effect is to produce a force over the surface. The force normal to unit area of surface is called pressure acting on the surface. The normal force exerted by the atmosphere…
Types of relation Void relation:- Let A be a set. Then, Φ ⊆ A x A and so it is a relation on A. This relation is called the void or empty relation on set A. In other words, a relation R on a set A is called void or empty relation, if no element…
Energy interaction (Transition) An energy interaction or transition is said to occur or to exist between two systems when one system influences a sustains the state of the other system. Thermodynamics mainly studies the interactions between heat and work and associated property change of the system In otherwords Energy…
Conservation of Energy In the early part of 19th century the scientist developed the concept of energy and hypothesis that it can be neither created nor destroyed ; this come to be known as the law of the conservation of energy. The first law of thermodynamics is merely one statement of this…
