Angstrom (Å), unit of length used chiefly in measuring wavelengths of light, equal to 10−10 metre, or 0.1 nanometer. One angstrom is equal to 10−10 m (one ten-billionth of a meter or 0.1 nanometers). Although the unit is recognized world-wide, it is not an International System (SI) or metric unit. It is named for the 19th-century Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström.

- The heat energy which has to be supplied to change the state of a substance is called its latent heat.
- Latent heat does not raise (or increase) the temperature. But latent heat has always to be supplied to change the state of a substance .The word ‘latent’ means ‘hidden’.
- The latent heat which we supply is used up in overcoming the forces of attraction between the particles of substance during the change of state. Latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of the particles of the substance, so the temperature of a substance does not rise during the change of state.

Parsec (pc)
1 pc = 3.08 x 1016 m
One parsec (pc) is the distance to a star that subtends and angle of 1 arc second at an arc length of 1 AU.
Parallax is “the best way to get distance in astronomy,” said Mark Reid, an astronomer at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He described parallax as the “gold standard” for measuring stellar distances because it does not involve physics; rather, it relies solely on geometry.

The Vernier calliper is used to measure the length or thickness of an object with great accuracy. It was invented by Pierre Vernier in 1630. It can measure length less than 1 mm.
A Vernier calliper consists of a fixed main scale or ordinary scale, a sliding Vernier scale, movable jaws, and a tail.
Parts of a Vernier Calipers
Main Scale: The main scale consists of a steel metallic strip graduated in centimeters at one edge and in inches at the other edge . It consists of a fixed external jaw and a fixed internal jaw.
Vernier Scale: A vernier scale slides on the strip. It can be fixed in any position by the retainer. On the Vernier scale, 0.9 cm is divided into ten equal parts. It consisits of a fixed external jaw and a fixed internal jaw.
External Measuring Jaws: The outer measuring jaws (one of the main scale and the other of the vernier scale) helps to take the outer dimension of an object
Internal Measuring Jaws: The inner measuring jaws (one of the main scale and the other of the vernier scale) helps to take the inner dimension of an object.
Retainer: The retainer helps to retain the object within the jaws of the Vernier calipers to fix firmly.
Depth Measuring Strip: The depth measuring strip (prong) helps to measure the depth of an object.
Least Count: The smallest length that can be measured accurately with a device is called the least count of that device. The least count of a Vernier calliper is known as the Vernier constant.
The least count or the smallest reading which you can get with the instrument can be calculated as:
Least Count = One main scale division - one Vernier scale division ------------ (i)

The greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun's heat in the atmosphere of a planet by gases in that atmosphere. The green house effect happens because of so-called greenhouse gases, which includes carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor & other. The greenhouse effect is hugely significant.

- Viscosity is the property of a fluid that resists the force tending to cause the fluid to flow.
- It is analogous to friction in solids.

Relative Density
- The relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to that of water.
- Relative density is a ratio so it has no unit.
Density = mass/volume
Relative density = density of substance/density of water

Friction describes a force that acts against motion. Friction is what slows down a vehicle, the lower the friction, the slower it slows down a vehicle
Example: a boy sliding on a slide

Heat is a form of energy that gives sensation of warmth. The SI unit of heat is joule. In C.G.S system, the unit of heat is calorie. 1calorie = 4.2 Joule. Heat always flow from hotter body to colder body.

Light: Light is a form of energy which helps us in seeing objects. When light falls on an object, some of the light gets reflected. The reflected light comes to our eyes and we are able to see an object.

A body is said to be at rest if it does not change its position with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings. If the body changes its position with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings, then body is said to be in motion.

Newton gave three laws of motion that describe the motion of bodies. These laws are known as Newton's Laws of motion.
The first law of motion is stated as: An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an applied force.
Newton's first law of motion gives us a definition of force. It says that Force is something that changes or tends to change the state of rest or uniform motion of a body.
The second law of motion states that: The rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of force.
Newton's third law of motion states that: Whenever a body exerts a force on another body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first body
